Product Description
Long Cane Raspberries are your opportunity to benefit from a massive breakthrough in Raspberry fruit production!
Raspberries usually produce their fruit on the previous year's growth of canes. However, they are often sold in garden centres cut back as short canes - great value, but you have to wait an extra year for fruit.
Now, with Long Canes you will get fruit in the first season, because they have not been cut back - they are harvested at about 1m or taller and will fruit this summer.
A great garden variety, not too vigorous, yet fruiting early to mid-season in July and August and producing good bright red sweet fruits. You will get around a pound of fruit or more per cane for 4-5 years. These raspberries will fruit on the full length of the canes you receive so do not prune them down when you plant them!
If space is at a premium, grow them in large pots in a wigwam form it will look great and also produce massive amounts or fruit in the minimum of space! Otherwise, plant in rows about 60cm (2ft) apart, using supporting wires for easier fruit picking. Take advantage of new Long Cane Raspberry production techniques for bigger and quicker crops.
Supplied as Long-Canes, approx. 100-120cm tall which means you will get fruit this year!

Plant Information
Care Guide
Planting Advice for Raspberries:
- Plant raspberries roughly 50cm apart in rows, along walls or fences or in beds where further support from posts can be used.
- They can also be grown in large pots (40cm+ diameter) on your patio, balcony, terrace and more.
- Select an appropriate spot for your plants, making sure that you give them enough space to grow to their full size.
- For best results, plant in a sunny but sheltered position.
- Soak canes in water for a couple of hours before planting to wake them up from dormancy.
- Dig a hole with enough room for the roots to spread. If you’re planting multiple bushes, it’s easiest to dig a trench.
- Whether you’re planting bare-root or potted plants, keep the crown of the plant 1 or 2 inches above the ground - raspberries hate to be buried too deeply.
- Fork over the bottom to loosen the soil and add some good quality fertiliser such as Blood Fish & Bone.
- Holding the plant upright in position with one hand, slowly backfill the hole with soil, and gently shake the plant, so the soil falls back around the roots.
- Firm in and water well.
Aftercare Advice for your raspberries:
- A thick mulch will conserve moisture and suffocate weeds. Keep a thick layer of mulch around the plants at all times.
- Water daily from spring until after harvest. Regular watering is better than infrequent deep soaking.
- Remove any suckers (canes that grow well away from the rows) to prevent them taking valuable nutrients away from the main plant.
- Cut down any raspberry canes that have already fruited in November, leaving long canes for the following year's bigger crops.
- Summer-fruiting varieties crop in July on last year's growth

BE MORE PROACTIVE WITH CUSTOMERS. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM AT LEAST EIGHT TIMES ABOUT MY ORDER THERE WERE NO INSTRUCTIONS WHAT TO DO WITH THE EASPBERRY CANES, NO MENTION OF WHAT TYPE OF COMPOST TO USE, WHEN THEY ARRIVED THEY WERE LIKE TEN DEAD TWIGS, AM I SUPPOSED TO SOAK THEM IN WATER BEFORE PLANTING ETC.
I WILL NOT BE ORDERING FROM GARDEN BARGAINS AGAIN AS THEY DO NOT WANT TO HELP ME WITH MY ENQUIRY
LOTS MORE BUT I DONT THINK GARDEN BARGAINS CAN BE BOTHERED
Product:
IF YOU READ PREVIOUS COMMENTS YOU SHOULDNT HAVE TO ASK BUT AS THE CANES ARRIVED LIKE DEAD TWIGS AND NO INSTRUCTIONS WITH THEM AS TO WHAT COMPOST TO PLANT THEM IN, HOW TO PLANT THEM THE BEST AREA TO PLANT THEM AND SHOULD THE CANES BE IMMERSED IN WATER BEFORE PLANTING

The raspberry canes I ordered arrived safely and after I left them to soak in a bucket of water, I planted them out and all have now started to shoot.
Price was perfectly reasonable especially because I had visited a local garden centre to see what they had and was shocked to find that one single stem was priced 8.25!

Well I have purchased last year the same item and quantity but only two survived we hope, because we saw a sign of growth, but those did not come to anything that year. all the others I had to throw anyway because they were dead. I have given you raspberries another go and planted them after being in a bucket of water for a few hours. So you are on notice and hence the low rating.
Product:
see previous comments so let's see. I have already said what I needed to say. If they die again I will write to you asking for a refund

Received canes which were diseased and had orange spot. They did replace but unfortunately next batch sent had same problems. Asked for refund due to faulty goods received. Request was denied due to being out of 30 day period. I though plants had lifetime guarantee so ask consumers to check terms and conditions as not all as seems.
Product:
Goods faulty were replaced but these goods faulty too. Asked for refund as i thought plants had lifetime guarantee but seems they don't.
Please read terms and conditions as it seems if faulty goods are replaced and if the second goods replacements are faulty you cannot get refund as pit of 30 day period do lifetime guarantee is not valid.
