One of the most widely-grown varieties, commercially, and perfect for the average garden, too! Loved for its very sweet flavour and large, long-lasting fruit. Very easy to grow, 'Tulameen' forms mid-sized clumps and has fewer thorns than most other varieties. Plant on a sunny spot in rows, with 50cm between canes and tie into supports as they grow. Can even be planted in a large pot (40cm+ in diameter). Expect large crops from mid-July, lasting nearly two months! Floricane (summer-fruiting) variety. Floricane varieties fruit on last year's wood, so it's important to get the pruning right. Cut back the canes that fruited at the end of the summer, leaving roughly eight that didn't fruit (these will be green stems) to grow next year. These canes will bear your next harvest.
