A guide to choosing the right size
All our canes are ministry inspected.
Autumn fruiting varieties, i.e. Autumn Bliss, Polka are completely cut to ground level during the winter.
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 9” (23 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 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.

Octavia
Raspberries
Summer Fruiting - We think this recently introduced variety will be extremely popular! Fruiting before the first of the autumn croppers, from mid July through to early August, Octavia produces large and juicy berries in profusion, all with a delightfully sweet flavour. Well worth a try. Fruits on the previous year's cane which must be tied up to support the crop. The fruit is large, of uniform size, firm, cohesive, blunt and conical to round in shape. It is easily plugged and meaty with fairly good colour and good flavour. The shelf life of Octavia is good, generally better then Glen Ample and consistently much better than Tulameen.
