The upright canes reach about 1.5m high and wide and are very frost hardy, which suits the cool climates where raspberries crop best. Plants fruit from their second year, and an established patch harvests over a long season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBig, flavourful berries.\u003c\/strong\u003e Large red fruit with a rich, old-fashioned raspberry flavour, sweet enough to eat straight from the cane.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThornless canes.\u003c\/strong\u003e Picking is easy and painless, which matters in a family garden.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLate season harvest.\u003c\/strong\u003e It crops later than many varieties, and the picking season is long once the plant is established.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVery frost hardy.\u003c\/strong\u003e Cold winters do not trouble it, and a chilly winter helps it crop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeaves for tea.\u003c\/strong\u003e The leaves can be dried and used for herbal tea.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrellis and wires.\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant 50cm apart along a trellis or taut wires.
