‘Malling Promise’ is a stunning Raspberry, that is ready to harvest from June until September. It generates high yields of perfect quality, juicy fruits, that are firm and delicious! Great for adding into a range of different culinary dishes, plant within kitchen gardens, patio pots and wildlife themed landscapes for maximum growth. Happy to develop in direct sunlight, watch it flourish to a height of 150cm, along with a spread of 50cm. Tasty, large firm fruits are promised from late June/early July with the early summer-fruiting Raspberry ‘Malling Promise’.
Grow raspberry plants in a sunny position in any well drained soil. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil. The stems of summer fruiting raspberries will require support. Before planting, prepare a framework of wires stretched horizontally between two sturdy 1.8m (6’) posts. Autumn fruiting varieties will not require supports.
Plant raspberry canes in a row against the wire supports, allowing a distance of 60cm (24”) between plants. Water well.
Summer fruiting raspberries fruit on the previous season’s growth. Leave unpruned after planting. This cane will go on to produce fruit next summer, at the same time, new shoots will grow from the roots. Once fruit has been picked the original cane should be removed and the new shoots left to grow to produce fruit the following year. Autumn fruiting canes should be pruned to 15cm (6”) above ground level immediately after planting to encourage more shoots to be produced.
