With so many raspberry canes on offer it can be difficult to choose. For a longer harvesting period, select a mix of summer and autumn-fruiting raspberries.

How to Choose Raspberry Plants

Choosing the perfect raspberry plant depends on your garden space and when you'd like to harvest. This guide answers the most common questions to help you select the best varieties from our range.

Which raspberries are best for beginners?

The classic 'Autumn Bliss' is a reliable autumn crop that’s vigorous and easy to manage. For a heavy summer harvest 'Glen Ample' is exceptionally productive and widely grown.

Which raspberries are best for pots and small gardens?

For containers, it's essential to select a dwarf variety that doesn’t require extensive support. 'Sweet Sunshine' is a thornless, compact plant reaching only 1m tall. 'Raspberry Yummy' is another purpose-bred dwarf cane that is perfect for the patio.

Which raspberries are thornless?

The autumn-fruiting 'Joan J' is one of the most popular thornless varieties available, producing large, delicious berries. The compact 'Autumn Treasure' is another excellent spine-free option.

Which raspberries have an unusual colour?

'All Gold' and 'Fallgold' are popular autumn-fruiting choices, with beautiful golden-yellow berries with a honey-like sweetness. For something truly unique, the primocane 'Black Polka' produces berries with a rich, dark colour and complex flavour.

How can I get the longest possible raspberry harvest season?

To enjoy fresh raspberries from summer right through to the first frosts, the simplest solution is to plant both types. Our 'Full Season Collection' is curated to give you a harvest from June to October by providing you with both summer and autumn-fruiting varieties.

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."
