Raspberry Waiau
Raspberry Waiau has large light to medium red fruit with an excellent flavour. It is covered with rose-type leaves. Small white flowers that are followed by luscious, sweet, delicate fruit. Vigorous and productive plant, with many semi-upright canes that must be attached to wire or fence for support. Dormant canes are light brown with soft spines. Harvest all summer long; the berries are easily removed when ripe.
Raspberries are a top antioxidant food, high in fibre, vitamin C and folate.

Prune out dead, old and fruited canes in winter so 10 - 12 strong canes are left per plant. All Raspberries like a soil rich in organic matter with good drainage essential. Roots are close to the surface, so will benefit from mulching with organic matter and regular watering during dry periods. Apply general fertiliser in spring. Spray with organic copper and an organic oil spray in winter and at bud burst to help prevent insect and fungal diseases.
