ADVICES

This shrub is best planted in a sunny or semi-shade position. Keep in mind that the soil should be fertile, moist, and light. The optimum pH is in the range of 5,5-6,2.

The shrub should be planted shallowly, so that the roots are covered with about 2cm of soil. The soil should be pressed down firmly. If planted in the autumn, after planting, mound earth over the roots to protect them from frost. Freshly planted raspberries should be cut above the third bud eye. After harvesting, two year old shoots should be removed, leaving only young shoots that will produce fruit the following year. This variety is frost resistant. Mature plants require support.
