Cool Temperate - Raspberries

RASPBERRIES

Autumn/Winter 2011/2012

Raspberry canes are liable to drying out. Buy early, plant quickly, and keep the roots moist if you have to store. Allow a few spares to fill in gaps later. They appreciate plenty of organic matter dug in before planting. Avoid planting on a spot where they are known to have been grown previously. £12.00 per 10 / £7 per 5.

Glen Moy

Early, large berries, good flavour, spineless canes, dislikes wet soils.

Glen Rosa

Early / Mid. Spineless, high yields, good health; medium sized berries.


Glen Coe - Purple Raspberry £6 each	NEW! Cross between U.S. Black Raspberry and Glen Prosen. Rich purple fruits, excellent flavour, high mid-season yields. These canes only sucker from the base, making the plant more like a semi-erect shrub that stays in its place, than the traditional wandering raspberry. Good health and spine free. Suits pot culture.
Tulameen	Mid / late variety with very large fruits with good flavour, and high total yield. Spine-free. Canadian origin.
Octavia	Very late. Fills the gap before the autumn types;good quality.
Allgold	Yellow autumn fruiting variety, a sport of Autumn Bliss but slightly sweeter.
Joan J	Autumn. High yields, large fruit, short canes, spineless. Freezes well.
Autumn Treasure	Autumn. Root-rot resisting. Self-supporting spineless canes; less acid berries than Bliss.
