The spine-free, hardy Glen Ample canes are highly popular for their easy-picking nature, and high yields of delicious, dark-red fruits.
Glen Ample raspberries provide the perfect balance of sweetness for making jams and jellies.̴Ì?
Rubus ideaus 'Glen Ample' canes are floricanes, meaning they will only bear fruit on a year's old wood. When you first plant them, you will need to let them grow (without cutting/pruning at all), and they will go on to produce fruit in the Summer. However, in the following year, the crops will be heavier and you will need to add some supports. After the second year of planting/fruiting, you will be able to prune.
Glen Ample raspberry plants can reach an ultimate height of 1.5m x 0.5m.
As this is a bare root plant, soak the roots for at least 2 hours before planting, after they arrive. Plant as soon as you can. If the ground is frozen, place into a temporary pot that's filled with decent compost- once conditions have improved, move the raspberry plant to the ground.
Keep the plant well-watered during dry weather.̴Ì?
In late Autumn/Winter (after fruiting season is over), simply cut down the year's old wood to ground level, and tie in the new, green-coloured stems and provide some supports. The fruits will grow on these stems the following year.The spine-free, hardy Glen Ample canes are highly popular for their easy-picking nature, and high yields of delicious, dark-red fruits.

Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.
Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.
Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.
Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
Our bare root discount deals include bundles of 50, 100, and 250 plants. The bigger the bundle, the higher the discount.
