Description

This productive primocane variety will reward with crops from August to October and again the following June. After your first August-October harvest, leave some of the strongest canes uncut. These will provide another crop the following June, whilst the current year's canes will crop again in August-October. This vigorous raspberry is ideal for those with limited space, canes can even be grown in containers with no reduction in cropping potential. Each firm fruit weighs an average 5.4g. Height: 1.5m (59"). Spread: 50cm (20").

Non hybrid

Frostproof

Growing tips

Strawberries, Fragaria x ananassa, are quite easy to grow. They are perennial, winter hardy, and will thrive in full sunshine, as long as the soil is fertile and well drained. Healthy plants will produce an abundance of berries for three to four years, after which they should be replaced. There are two different types of Strawberry plants; standard (June bearing) and everbearing Strawberries. You will want to consider how you will use the berries in deciding which varieties you want to grow. The standard types of Strawberry will provide you with a large crop all at once for jams or freezing, and tend to be the better quality berries. The everbearing will produce throughout the summer for desserts and snacking. The culture is essentially the same for either.
