'Yummy' Patio Raspberry Plant
- This is the dwarf raspberry variety to grow in a pot - patio harvests no longer have to be a pipe dream... Growing to just half a metre or so, this plant is as compact as it is productive (which is very).
- Incredibly hardy and robust, this variety can easily be grown on patios, terraces and balconies in large containers. Plus, its thornless stems make harvesting fruits a doddle!
- ‘Yummy’ by name, yummy by nature, this plant produces plump, juicy and sweet fruits that are perfect for eating fresh, baking, jam-making and smoothie blending.
- A summer-fruiting variety, this plant produces a crop in its first year, meaning you won’t have too long to wait before you're harvesting your own bumper yields.
- Certified as one of the Royal Horticultural Society’s Plants for Pollinators, ‘Yummy’ will have bumblebees and other pollinating insects buzzing in their droves to your terrace.
