This plant is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.

  • Position: full sun or partial shade
  • Soil: fertile, moist but freely draining
  • Rate of growth: fast
  • Hardiness: fully hardy

    Producing an early crop of berries, this tough, vigorous and reliable cultivar is ideal for kick-starting the season. The large and succulent fruits have a great flavour, and if you have more than you need for the table, they will freeze really well.

  • Garden care: Prepare the ground well before planting. Remove all weeds and dig in plenty of well-rotted manure. Space at 1.8m intervals and once planted, shorten the canes to about 23cm (9in). Each spring, mulch well with well-rotted manure. Plants flower on one-year-old wood, so the new canes need to be separated from fruiting ones. After cropping, cut the fruiting canes down to the ground and tie in the new ones that have grown that year.
