Glen Ample Raspberry Plants

Fantastically popular, this is the most widely grown summer fruiting variety

The Highlights

    • An RHS Award winning summer fruiting (flurocane) variety famed for its deep red, rich tasting raspberries 
    • Highly rated because of its reliability. You can expect to see large yields, over 2kg per plant, with the fruit holding very well on the bush
    • This makes Glen Ample incredibly popular with amateur growers, it is quite likely the most widely grown flurocane.
    • Expect to harvest from late June into September.
    • Plant on a sunny spot in rows, with 50cm between canes and tie into supports as they grow. Can even be planted in a large pot (40cm+ in diameter).
    • Flurocane (summer fruiting) variety Flurocane varieties fruit on last years wood, so it is important to get the pruning right. Cut back the canes that fruited at the end of the summer, leaving 6/8 that didn't fruit to grow onto next year. That is what will bear your next harvest. Trim them back to a bud approx 10cm above ground in late Feb, to encourage strong spring growth.

Care Guide

Excellent

Has been bred for excellent disease resistance. Your biggest problem, as with most soft fruit, is that they are so delicious that local wildlife will want to eat them too. Grow in a polytunnel, or use a fruit net to keep birds off.MORE

Keep well watered

Water in thoroughly when planting. Raspberries prefer moist soils so make sure that they are well watered throughout summer, especially during drier periods. 1/2 time a week increasing to every other day when hot/ dry.

Full sun

Full sun means receiving direct sun for more than 6 hours each day during the spring/summer.

Prefers fertile, well draining soil.

Loam or sandy soil is perfect. You should also consider digging in some organic matter/ compost when planting to improve the soil

No need to feed

Don't worry, this isn't a hungry plant so your food bills won't be going up!
