It's a model plant - hardy, disease resistant and quite vigorous. The canes are virtually thornless and because of their habit of tending to come from the centre of the plant, they present fruit in a way that makes picking easy. The flavour is full and tangy, cropping is heavy and Glen Lyon is one of the best raspberries to keep in the fridge. It also freezes well.

This is especially true with Glen Lyon which absolutely hates heavy clay soils. All raspberries like the sun and the summer fruiting varieties, in particular, are happier with some shelter from strong wind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Trivia\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the raspberry canes bred by the Scottish Crop Research Institute are named after Glens in Scotland. Most supermarket raspberries come from Spain these days; in 2007 it was discovered that Spanish farmers were growing Glen Lyon and other varieties without permission, or even bothering to change the name on the box!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease remember to plant raspberries with their roots just under the surface. Deep planting kills them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard practice is to deliver raspberry canes with last year's growth cut back to 45-60 cm.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTherefore, summer fruiting raspberries will bear few, if any, berries in the Summer following planting. Their first full fruiting season will be in the year after.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ashridge","offers":[{"title":"Bareroot \/ 5 x Canes","offer_id":54999183622470,"sku":"SOFTRASGLELY-BRP","price":2.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/0351\/8022\/files\/glen-lyon-raspberry-fruit-4.jpg?v=1755543038","url":"https:\/\/www.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/products\/glen-lyon-raspberry-canes","provider":"Ashridge Nurseries","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
