Bare Root bushes available from Late October to May.

Bushes are grown on a short leg. After planting shorten all shoots by about half their length to encourage a strong framework. Subsequent fruiting is encouraged by spur pruning.

Half Standard = The fruiting variety is grafted onto the stem at 70-80 cm above the ground level. Will require supporting with a stake.

All soft fruits are self fertile.

Prior to planting eliminate all perennial weeds. If the soil is acid mix in lime, add organic matter such as compost or manure to light sandy soils. On heavier soils, which are poorly drained, planting on raised beds is beneficial. The incorporation of sand is also helpful. Before planting dig in a handful of fertiliser such as Growmore.

Arrived bare root in Feb and has established really quickly to form a good sized bush. Cropped very well for its first summer!

Just recieved my Red Lake bush along with some strawberry runners. Lovely plants thank you. Not sure how you turn around orders so quickly too. I ordered on the Sunday and took delivery on the Thursday! Very impressive.
