1 Litre Container grown canes available now. Bare Root canes available from October-April.
All our canes are ministry inspected.
Plant the canes about 18” (45 cm) apart with 6 ft (1.8 m) between the rows. Avoid planting the young canes too deeply, a covering of 3” (7.5 cms) over the roots is ample. Cut the canes down to 9” (23 cms) above the soil immediately after planting (bare root canes only). In the spring when the new shoots appear from beneath the soil the 9” stub should be cut away. The young canes are tied into a wire fence system for cropping the following season. Subsequently all canes which have fruited are cut out at ground level immediately after fruiting.
Autumn fruiting varieties, i.e. Autumn Bliss, Polka are completely cut to ground level during the winter.
