Allackerbeere, Mammure Standardsorte

Season Overview

Description

Allacker berries are also known as field berries, Swedish field berries or Arctic raspberries. It is a perennial berry species that is native to northern Scandinavia. In spring, the allackberry sprouts from the rootstock and reaches heights of 10 to 30 cm. Its fresh green leaves are approx. 2-3 cm in size, pinnate and serrated at the edges. A beautiful effect can be achieved by planting 8-10 plants per square meter: The field berry can then develop into a dense ground cover over time. In May to June, the attractive pink-red flowers of the allackberry are particularly effective.

Growing tips

Rubus arcticus is very frost-hardy and prefers loose, acidic, humus-rich, slightly moist soil. The allackberry forms runners, making it suitable as a ground cover species for rock gardens, borders and bog beds. Nevertheless, the Swedish fieldberry is easy to keep in check and care should be taken to ensure that it is not crowded out by other plants. If fertilization occurs, you can taste the sweet, edible fruits of the allackberry in autumn. Similar to raspberries, they are shiny and reddish in color. The simple species Rubus arcticus bears little fruit and is mainly planted for its ornamental value. If a ground cover with fruit yield is desired, the American cranberry, for example, would be a suitable alternative.
