Why shouldn’t you? One of the easiest fruits to grow at ground level as well as in pots, these red, delicious fruits are likely to provide you with plenty of high yields across the year.
Despite the fact that Britain is well-known for its absolutely appalling weather, that often won’t stop varieties of raspberry plant. They tend to be pretty hardy even when it’s completely chucking it down!
What’s more, raspberry varieties, medium sized or large fruit alike, are really versatile. Think of all the lovely things you can make with your own crops of raspberries! Whether you start this year or next year, there’s a lot of choice available.
By taking care with your fruiting varieties, and making sure that you protect them well into late summer, you’ll have a raspberry plant crop that bears tons of delicious fruit. To get started, you’re going to need a good stack of new canes, and to make sure that you buy plants which are disease resistant – at least, those which are likely to be hardier than most.
These plants provide bumper crops of some of the tastiest red fruits all year round. The summer, of course, is likely to be the period where your plants are going to do really well, but you may find some varieties that endure mid summer to late summer and beyond.
Fancy making some raspberry crumble, compote or jam? It all starts with setting up your own raspberry plant crop in your own back garden. Take a look at the top varieties we’ve lined up for you above to get a feel for what’s out there, and what is likely to work well for you!
