Summer Raspberry (Rubus idaeus 'Glen coe') - 2 liter jar

Very special raspberry whose taste lies between that of a raspberry and a blackberry. The fruits are dark purple in color. Unripe fruits are red but they turn purple when ripe.

• Planting: September to March (not in frost), after that time is also possible, but keep in mind that you will have to give extra water in warm weather because the roots are not yet properly established.
• Pruning : The summer raspberry should be pruned in the fall. Remove the old fruiting stems, which are the branches that bore fruit in the previous season. These branches will not produce new fruit and are best removed. Also check the support and make sure that the branches are well attached to the trellis or supports. This helps the plant to remain upright and ensures that the fruit is well-bearing.
• Open ground or pots: You can grow all soft fruit in pots, the bigger the pot the better they will do. They will always grow better and produce more fruit in the open ground.
