RUBUS idaeus RASPBERRY Joan J

An outstanding primocane variety.  A heavy cropper of juicy, sweet tasting berries that are significantly larger than Autumn Bliss with a brighter colour and superior flavour.  Long cropping period from July through to October.  Freezes exceptionally well.  Spinefree.  A highly recommended variety.  Self fertile.

Bare root stock is available for dispatch between late October & late March. Orders can be placed in advance at any time, just bear in mind that payment will be taken in full at time of ordering.

Planting:

Plant in a sheltered spot in a well-drained but moist, fertile soil in full sun or light shade.  Soak the root-ball before planting.  Plant in a hole twice the diameter of the root-ball or pot.  Mix an organic soil improver and general fertiliser with the infill soil.  Water regularly until established. Plant 45cm (18in) apart in rows 1.2m (4ft) apart.

After Care:

Fruit is produced on the current seasons’ cane.  Cut all cane to ground level in the winter.  Keep rows 60cm (2ft) wide by removing unwanted cane in the Spring.
