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.

Polka (New)

Raspberries

Autumn Fruiting - We believe this new variety will replace Autumn Bliss in time. Polka is well renowned for its fruit quality attributes. Its flavour can be described as clean and fruity, with a lovely aroma. Polka’s yield is unquestionably high, which is aided by its early start. Plant canes 18 inches apart and cut down all cane to ground level after fruiting.
