Good hardy plant that produces canes from 1,5 up to 4 meter long in one grwoning season. Best grwon against a wall of another support system to prevent the canes from tumbling over. Prefers a sunny spot. Halfshade is also possible. Prefers a light, rather dy soil (work a lot of compost in the soil and cover with mulch) Very early cropping (autumn fruiting varieties, will alkready give a harvest the year of planting). Fruiting depends on the weather but is rarely a problem (cold and rain). Flowers late (June-freezing). Flowers appear in small clusters and have white petals. Pollination is mainly done by bumble bees, but other flying insects can help. Care:: remove the surpluss of suckers. Cut back the canes that have fruited. A yearly tipping of the soil with compost is much appreciated. Apprarently, also birds love the raspberries.... |
