Blackmoor Nursery is one of very few Nurseries in the UK offering gardeners the opportunity to buy Raspberry canes direct from our Nursery. 

All orders are despatched in one delivery. If your order contains both bare root and container grown plants then we can only despatch when all plants are ready. 

Any Bare Root Items - Availability means Available for supply from early November to May.

Any Container grown items - Availability means Available for supply now. 

All our Raspberry canes are ministry inspected.

Autumn fruiting varieties, i.e. Autumn Bliss, Polka and Joan J are completely cut to ground level during the winter.

Summer fruiting varieties, These fruit on the second year cane (normally darker than the one year cane)The second year cane is pruned back down to soil level in the winter after they have fruited leaving the one year old cane for next summers crop.

situation

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 2” (5 cms) above the soil immediately after planting (bare root canes only, Do not cut down the 1 litre potted canes). In the spring when the new shoots appear from beneath the soil the 2” 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.

Bought these canes at the beginning of the year. I temporarily put them all in a large pot as I wasn't going to have a bed ready for them until April. They all sprouted and were growing well, although they didn't like being separated and planted after growth had begun, so I lost quite a few. However, the ones that established produced fantastic raspberries from late summer. Excellent variety and top quality canes supplied, just make sure you don't plant them out too late.

In the early 1980's we bought our first apple tree from Blackmoor following a visit to the nursery for an open day. At the time we lived nearby. Since then we've moved 200 miles away and 5 years ago planted up an orchard with Blackmoor fruit trees. All are doing excellently. Our new project is a soft fruit cage and our supply of Blackmoor's raspberries, black and red currants, and gooseberries look splendid. Couldn't recommend Blackmoor more highly. First class service to us for over 30 years!!

I bought these raspberry canes in November. They arrived carefully wrapped and had been well cared for. The canes are already shooting in the garden. Roll on summer for the fruit +++

5 Dec 15 | Rebecca

We planted these raspberry canes last winter and have had lots of fruit from them this autumn - strong, healthy plants, very easy to grow and most importantly, the fruit has been delicious and far superior to anything we have been able to buy in the shops. As always, our fruit plants from blackmoor have been far superior to any we have bought elsewhere

Having recently got an allotment I decided to buy some fruit trees and bushes. My first order (and only one so far) was from Blackmoor, for 10 bare rooted raspberry canes. I spent quite a lot of time, looking on the internet to learn about fruits, varieties and suppliers. I studied reviews on the numerous online nurseries and decided upon Blackmoor after reading time and time again how good they are. The website is easy to use and very informative. I decided upon Polka, which seems a great autumn type raspberry, just what I wanted. I placed my order, which was very easy and straightforward. A confirmation email was received, as were further emails updating me on the status of my order. The raspberries came today. I’ve unpacked them and they are now having a drink of water. I’ll be potting them up in the next couple of days, then they’ll go into my allotment when the trench is prepared. I can not comment on their growth, but the start they have had makes me confident that they’ll do very well. They are very well rooted and were well packed, remaining moist in an inner black plastic bag. My general marks as as follows :- Web site and ease of use 5 / 5 Communication 5 / 5 Delivery 5 / 5 Canes 5/5 WELL DONE BLACKMOOR .. I SHALL BE ORDERING AGAIN FROM YOU

Raspberry Polka Growing Guide.

Planting Bare Root Raspberry canes: 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 ground level immediately after planting. In the spring the new shoots will appear from beneath the soil. The young canes are then tied into a wire fence system for cropping the following season.

Planting Container Raspberries: 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. Support the canes with a post and wire system or a bamboo cane. Container grown canes do not need pruning straight after planting.

Pruning Autumn Fruiting Raspberry Polka: Autumn fruiting raspberries fruit on the current year’s growth. Cut back all the canes to ground level in February. Reduce the number of canes in the summer if they are overcrowded.
