A tree that has been grown in the field and then lifted out of the ground when dormant. Available from November to March. The roots are more open and the direct contact with the soil encourages them to settle in and establish more readily.
These are 2yr old trees that have been grown 1yr in the field and the second in a pot. Container trees can be planted at any time of the year but establish best when planted during the autumn and need to be watered well during the first summer.
Raspberry canes are hardy vigorous plants ideal for any garden, especially cooler regions. Raspberries serve many purposes and can be eaten fresh, made into jams and preserves, used in pies, yoghurts and more.
Raspberry bushes thrive in moisture-retentive, fertile, slightly acidic soils which are well-drained. They prefer being planted in sunny sheltered locations, although they will tolerate partial shade.
Regular pruning will result in healthier and better quality plants. All varieties are self-fertile and are pollinated by insects.
