Description

Tulameen Raspberries are a widely grown commercial variety that also does exceptionally well in a domestic fruit garden, producing heavy crops of large berries.
These are bright and glossy and have an excellent flavour.
Easy to pick, the fruit holds well on the cane even in poor weather. Ready to pick from mid/late July, cropping for about 4 weeks.

For optimum results, follow these instructions for planting Raspberry Tulameen long canes:

Unlike Regular Canes, Long Cane plants must NOT be cut back after planting. The canes should be left intact as supplied. They will then develop fruit-bearing side shoots at the top of each cane which will flower and produce fruit for picking in the first season after planting at the same time as new growth (next year's fruiting wood) is thrown up from the root stock. N.B. In subsequent seasons, treat as Regular Canes.

Floricane (summer-fruiting) varieties fruit on canes produced in the previous year. After fruiting, cut out the old, fruited wood in autumn/winter and tie in the new growths to the support.

How you will receive your plants:

Your bare root raspberry canes will arrive at the perfect time for planting. Unpack them immediately and aim to plant as soon as possible after delivery.

Can’t plant straight away?

If you can’t plant right away, keep the canes in their packaging in a cool, dark place. It’s best to plant within seven days for optimal growth.

Planting tips and hints:

Before planting, soak the roots in water for about an hour to rehydrate them.

Cut down all bare root planted raspberries to 2cm (1in) above ground level when planting. This will encourage multiple canes to grow from the ground.

Planting in containers: If frost is still a risk, pot up the raspberry canes in large containers filled with multipurpose compost. Water well, and keep them in a greenhouse or cold frame until spring. Once the frost has passed, harden them off before planting outside.

Planting in the ground: Once the soil has warmed up in spring, you can plant your raspberry canes directly into the ground. Dig a hole wide enough to allow the roots to spread out. Place the cane so the roots fan out naturally, and ensure the crown (where the stems meet the roots) is level with the soil surface. Backfill, firm down the soil, and water well to settle the roots.

Feeding and aftercare: Keep the area around your raspberry canes weed-free. Apply a slow-release fertiliser in spring and mulch with well-rotted compost or manure to retain moisture and boost growth. Ensure your canes are supported by a trellis or framework, and water regularly in dry spells.
