'Glen Clova' Raspberry Canes, Early-Season

'Glen Clova' Raspberry Bushes: Summer Fruiting, Early Season

Glen Clova is a firm early season favourite, reliable and disease resistant. 
The fruit flavour and quality is good, the size is on the small side, which makes it more of a home grower's variety than a commercial one. Still, the firm flesh stores and freezes well. 

As with all the plants in our range of raspberries, these are certified plants grown from virus-tested parent material in the UK.

Features:

• Group: Summer Fruiting, Early Season.
• Floricane - crops on year old canes
• Harvest from July
• Good fruity flavour, firm texture
• Popular with home growers 
• Excellent keeper, good for freezing.
• RHS Plants for Pollinators

Growing Glen Clova Raspberries

Raspberries are easy to grow, but they do need good conditions: a rich soil that drains well & is kept moist in dry weather. All raspberries like the sun and the summer fruiting varieties, in particular, are happier with some shelter from strong wind.

Remember to plant raspberries with their roots just under the surface. Deep planting kills them.

Did You Know?

All the raspberries bred by the Scottish Crop Research Institute are named after Scottish Glens: Clova is one of the Five Glens of Angus.
This variety was bred in 1960.

Please note that in line with general practice, all our raspberries are delivered with last year's growth cut back to 45-60 cm. Summer fruiting raspberries may, therefore, bear a very few berries in summer following planting but their first full fruiting season will be in the year after.
