Raspberry Groovy (‘Jdeboer005’) (PBR) | 9cm Pot

Delicious fruit and golden foliage. Position: full sun Soil: fertile, well-drained soil Rate of growth: fast-growing Hardiness: fully hardy The near-thornless stems of this new raspberry are laden with tasty and sweet, bright red fruit, which are offset by the golden yellow foliage. A naturally compact and bushy form, it can be grown in a pot on the patio or balcony, but its ornamental appeal means that it can also be grown in a mixed border. A primocane raspberry, it will fruit on new wood in its first year, so you will be harvesting the delicious summer fruits in no time. Garden care: Find a sunny spot and prepare a bed by clearing it of weeds and digging in lots of composted manure. Alternatively pot up using a good soil-based compost. Feed during the growing season with a general purpose fertiliser and water regularly during the summer. You may need to protect the ripening fruit from being eaten by birds. Cut back all the canes to just above ground level each February.
