Planting guide

Plant in well-drained, fertile soil in early spring or autumn. Space plants around 2 metres apart and provide a trellis or wire system for support. Water well after planting and mulch to retain moisture.

Care tips

Water in dry periods, especially while fruiting. Feed in early spring with a balanced fertiliser. Cut back fruited canes in autumn and tie in fresh growth for next year’s crop.

Winter care

Cut back fruited canes to the base in autumn and tie in new shoots to supports. Mulch with compost or well-rotted manure around the base to protect roots and nourish the soil.
