About YouGarden, YouGarden Raspberry 'sweet Sunshine' In 2L Pot

Never has there been a better time to Grow Your Own and reap the benefits of producing your own fresh, healthy food. Making use of home gardens has always been a sensible thing to do, but now more than ever with genetic modification predicted supermarket shortages and environmental damage, produce picked and eaten from your own plot has never been a better idea. 'Raspberry 'Sweet Sunshine' is a new concept raspberry variety, producing masses of short-branched canes that reach no more than 1m (3ft 3in), with the added bonus of being thornless. This thick clump of canes produces heavy crops on established plants in 2 years or so and starts fruiting in June, so is an early starter. The fruit flavour is good, as demanded by today's consumers, making this the perfect all-rounder. For best results, grow in a large pot about 30cm or so in diameter, allowing room for growth over many years. Picking height is at 80-100cm tall, so easy to net and easy to pick - perfect for children too. Specifications Availability: September to April Planting time: February to November Flowering time: May to June Fruiting time: June to August Supplied as an established plant in a 2L pot, ready for planting out or potting on. H100cm x 50cm Top Tips 'Sweet Sunshine' fruits on last year's stems, so cut down any raspberry canes that have already fruited in November, leaving long canes for the following year's crops. New shoots will soon emerge, and next year's fruit will be produced on these one-year-old, ripened canes. Care Information If planting several, plant them about 50cm (20in) apart in rows. Or grow in large pots, at least 30cm (1ft) diameter on your patio or balcony. For best results, plant in a sunny but sheltered position. Dig a hole roughly double the size of the roots and some good quality fertiliser such as Blood Fish & Bone. Aim to plant at the same depth as in the pot. Firm in and water well. Keep well-watered for the first few weeks to help plants to establish, then water regularly.
