As with all the plants in our range of raspberries, these are certified plants grown from virus-tested parent material in the UK. Features: Group: Summer Fruiting, Late Season. Floricane - crops on year old canes Harvest from July Good fruity flavour, firm texture Vigorous, aphid resistant Good for freezing. RHS Plants for Pollinators Growing Malling Leo Raspberries Raspberries are easy to grow, but they do need good conditions: a rich soil that drains well & is kept moist in dry weather. All raspberries like the sun and the summer fruiting varieties, in particular, are happier with some shelter from strong wind. Remember to plant raspberries with their roots just under the surface. Deep planting kills them. Did You Know? Please note that in line with general practice, all our raspberries are delivered with last year's growth cut back to 45-60 cm. Summer fruiting raspberries may, therefore, bear a very few berries in summer following planting but their first full fruiting season will be in the year after.
