Certified and grown from virus-tested parent material in the UK. Browse our raspberry plants.

Please note: In line with general practice, our raspberries are delivered with last year's growth cut back to 45-60cm.
Summer fruiting raspberries (floricanes) may bear a few berries in the summer following planting, but their first full fruiting season will be in the year after, on their first year's growth.
Autumn fruiting raspberries (primocanes) should crop quite well in their first year, and you can help them by thinning off small and malformed fruit.

Growing Yummy Raspberries:

Raspberries are easy to grow in a humus rich, moist soil that drains well, lots of sun and some shelter from strong wind. 

Their roots are shallow, fragile and spreading, so prepare the soil wide rather than deep for them, and consider 6 to 12 inch tall raised beds if your soil is poor or hard clay. Either way, try to add plenty of organic matter, rotted manure is great. Don't trample the soil next to your plants, especially in the growing season, and don't let the soil dry out when the fruit are forming.

If the crowns of your raspberries rot, it's likely because the site is too damp.

Remember to plant raspberries with their roots close under the surface and the crown exposed: deep planting kills them. Keep them well watered and mulch well every spring when the soil is warm

Feed with a high potash fertiliser.
