Raspberries are an excellent crop to grow as once established they will crop heavily, producing up to 1.5kg (over 3lbs) of fruit per cane for 10 years or more. They can be planted as close as 40cm (16in) apart with a gap of 1.5m (5ft) between rows. When planting it is important to choose a well-drained, sunny or semi-shaded spot and to incorporate plenty of compost or well-rotted manure.

Our hand graded raspberry canes are raised on selected sites in the UK, inspected by DEFRA for pests and diseases and certified under the Plant Health Propagation Scheme (PHPS).

Our top tips for success when planting raspberries:

Raspberries require a well-drained soil so if the soil is heavy, it is important that you improve the soil conditions and if necessary grow them on a raised bed or ridge.
Improve the soil structure by thorough digging before planting and if possible, mix well rotted manure or compost into the topsoil.
The canes should only be planted about 2-3 inches deep (this should be the depth indicated by the soil mark just above the roots on the main stem, or up to 1cm (½in) deeper). If the roots are planted too deep, it’s harder for the new shoots to emerge.
It is important not to plant the canes on ground where you have previously been growing raspberries (due to raspberry replant disease).
Raspberries are shallow rooted, so it is important to keep the bed well-watered in the first year from spring onwards.
Put some compost (2 litres per plant) in the planting hole, so the roots have something 'kind' to root into.

Don't forget to include a Gripple Wire Tensioning Kit on your order, the easy way to support raspberry canes. For better establishment we strongly advise using Rootgrow when planting (as recommended in RHS planting guidelines).
