'Glen Ample' Raspberry Plants
- An RHS-award-winning, summer-fruiting (floricane) variety famed for its deep red, rich-tasting raspberries. Plus, it has spineless canes!
- Originally bred by the Scottish Crop Research Institute, 'Glen Ample' is one of the most popular raspberries to grow.
- Highly-rated thanks to its reliability; expect to see large yields, over 2kg per plant, with the fruit holding very well on the bush.
- Plant on a sunny spot in rows, with 50cm between canes and tie into supports as they grow. Expect to harvest from late June all the way into September!Â
- Floricane varieties fruit on last year's wood, so it's important to get the pruning right. Cut back the canes that fruited at the end of the summer, leaving roughly eight that didn't fruit (these will be green stems) to grow next year.
