How to grow

Cultivation

Grow in moisture-retentive, fertile, ideally slightly acidic soil, which is well-drained and weed free. For best results, plant in a sunny position. They will tolerate light shade, but may produce a smaller crop. Train raspberries in rows using wires for support. May have the potential to become a nuisance if not managed well. See raspberry cultivation

Propagation

Lift healthy suckers that appear between the rows and replant in a new spot. You can also divide large clumps when dormant

Suggested planting locations and garden types
  • Wildlife gardens

After harvesting in summer, cut back fruited canes to ground level

Pests

May be susceptible to raspberry beetle, raspberry leaf and bud mite. May need protection from birds
