Raspberry Ebony 3L

Raspberry Ebony™ has small firm rosette of dark black berries with an excellent flavour. They are covered with rose-type leaves. Small white flowers are followed by luscious, sweet, delicate fruit. Vigorous and productive plant, with 1m to 2m high cascading purple/black canes with no spines, requiring attaching to wires or fence for support. Harvesting from December to February, the berries are easily removed when ripe.

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.
