Description

  • A super autumn fruiting (Primocane) variety which crops very reliably

How To Grow

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.

No need to feed

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