Incredible Raspberry Varieties

Raspberry Aspiring has a large dark red conical firm fruit with an excellent flavour. This raspberry is a dual cropper meaning that as well as fruiting in summer, it will also fruit in autumn. (Autumn crop produced on top 10-20 buds of new canes). This divine raspberry grows as a bramble on upright canes. They are covered with rose-type leaves. Small white flowers are followed by luscious, sweet, delicate fruit. Vigorous and productive plant, which spreads fast and is one of the easiest of all to grow. Produces a high number of strong upright canes. Dormant canes are dark brown with few spines.

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.

In early spring, new sprouts will begin to develop from the soil; new growth should also appear on pre-existing canes (stems). Make sure to leave all new growth intact, whether growing from the ground or on existing stems. The new canes that sprout from the ground will not fruit until next year. On the other hand, the old canes should produce berries this summer. Removing these now would mean no fruit this year! It would be best to cut off only any truly dead stems that show no signs of new growth after the rest of the bush has leafed out. Dead canes can be removed at ground level.
