Buying raspberry plants: from garden to table full of flavour

Raspberries are not only irresistibly delicious, they're also easy to grow yourself. Thanks to their compact growth, they even fit into smaller gardens, raised beds, or large pots. With proper care, raspberry plants will yield a bountiful harvest for years to come. At Plukkers.com, you'll find strong, organic plants that suit your garden and taste preferences.

Why grow raspberries?

• Fresh and healthy : Raspberries are packed with antioxidants, fiber and vitamin C.
• Long harvest season : By combining summer and autumn raspberries, you can pick from June to October.
• Picking fun for young and old : The plants are easily accessible and perfect for children.
• Low maintenance : An annual pruning will keep the plants in top shape.

Summer raspberries or autumn raspberries?

• Summer raspberries bear fruit on the previous year's wood, usually in June and July.
• Autumn raspberries bear on young wood, with a harvest from August until the first frost.

By planting both varieties in your garden, you extend the harvest period and spread the tasty reward.

Caring for raspberry plants

1. Planting time : The best time is autumn or early spring. Later in the year is also fine, but you'll need to water more during dry spells.
2. Location : Sunny and airy – the more sun, the sweeter the berries.
3. Support : Use a trellis or wires for vertical growth.
4. Pruning : Prune summer raspberries after harvest, autumn raspberries completely in February.
5. Fertilization : Feed annually with compost or organic fertilizer for a rich harvest.
