Long cane raspberries are your opportunity to benefit from a massive breakthrough in raspberry fruit production. Raspberries usually produce their fruit on the previous year's growth of canes. However, they are often sold in garden centres cut back as short canes - great value, but you have to wait an extra year for fruit. Now, with long canes you will get fruit in the first season, because they have not been cut back - they are harvested at about 1m or taller and will fruit this Summer. A great garden variety, not too vigorous, yet fruiting early to mid-season in July and August and producing good bright red sweet fruits. You will get around a pound of fruit or more per cane for 4-5 years. These raspberries will fruit on the full length of the canes you receive so do not prune them down when you plant them. Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come. This raspberry variety, 'Glen Ample', has also been recommended as a 'Plant for Pollinators'. If space is at a premium, grow them in large pots in a wigwam form it will look great and also produce massive amounts or fruit in the minimum of space. Otherwise, plant in rows about 60cm apart, using supporting wires for easier fruit picking. Take advantage of new long cane raspberry production techniques for bigger and quicker crops.
Supplied as 5 'Glen Ample' Long-Canes, approx. 100-120cm tall.**Please note: This product cannot be delivered to Northern Ireland.**
