Plant description

Each plump, flavoursome berry is large and firm and they are excellent for eating fresh, or making jams. They also last well when frozen.

How to care for raspberry Malling Promise:
Where offered, plant potted summer-fruiting raspberries in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil in a sunny position. Space plants 45cm (18in) apart in rows 1.8m (6ft) apart, planting at the same depth as they were growing in their pot and watering well after planting.
From late autumn, and through the dormant winter period, we offer these raspberries as bare root canes. Prepare the ground well before planting. Remove all weeds and dig in plenty of well-rotted manure in to the area. Plant canes 8cm (3in) deep, at 45cm (18in) intervals, carefully spreading out the roots and backfilling with soil.
Subsequent rows should be 1.8m (6ft) apart. Once planted, shorten the canes to about 23cm (9in). Each spring, mulch well with well-rotted manure. Plants flower on one-year-old wood, so the new canes need to be separated from fruiting ones.
After cropping, cut the fruiting canes down to the ground and tie in the new ones that have grown that year.

Please note:
This plant is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
