Raspberry Aspiring 3L

Raspberry Aspiring has a large dark red conical firm fruit with an excellent flavour. This raspberry is a dual cropper meaning that as well as fruiting in summer, it will also fruit in autumn. (Autumn crop produced on top 10-20 buds of new canes). This divine raspberry grows as a bramble on upright canes. They are covered with rose-type leaves. Small white flowers are followed by luscious, sweet, delicate fruit. Vigorous and productive plant, which spreads fast and is one of the easiest of all to grow. Produces a high number of strong upright canes. Dormant canes are dark brown with few spines.

Prune out dead, old and fruited canes in winter so 10 - 12 strong canes are left per plant. All Raspberries like a soil rich in organic matter with good drainage essential. Roots are close to the surface, so will benefit from mulching with organic matter and regular watering during dry periods. Apply general fertiliser in spring. Spray with organic copper and an organic oil spray in winter and at bud burst to help prevent insect and fungal diseases.
