Raspberries

Getting the most from your raspberries – you can give them plenty of good soil, support, and prune them right.

Some great raspberry related items at Harrod Horticultural.
My biggest problem with my raspberries is how to stop them going through my lawn and popping up both in the grass and the flower borders. It’s not a huge problem once I get the mower out. I have dug up a couple of plants though and moved them to where they can get growing and producing. Part of me wants to leave them to take over the whole of the front garden, but the sensible part of me (And my partner) reckons it’s a bad idea.
Last year I had so much fruit – I was picking about 500g a day – that I couldn’t turn it into jam quick enough and was stockpiling it in the freezer.

Raspberry Beetle Trap - Replacement Lure

Raspberry Beetle Trap – Replacement Lure £5.95
Use this innovative Raspberry Beetle Trap which doubles as a monitoring kit to detect the early signs of raspberry beetle by placing it 1m above ground 4-6 weeks before first flower during April to July. The Raspberry Beetle Trap helps to improve the timing and efficiency of spray treatment thereby reducing crop damage or any unnecessary spray application. Attracted by the incorporated attractant lure and colour of the cross vanes (simulating a giant raspberry flower) the beetles fly into the cross vane fall into the funnel-shaped catchment area and down into the holding bucket below. If you discover 5-10 beetles per trap per week in the period from beetle emergence until onset of first flowering then use the Insect Killer Spray opposite. The attractant lure in the Raspberry Beetle Trap lasts 6 weeks the length of a normal raspberry season and a second replacement lure is provided for extended use; further individual replacement lures are available separately. Please note that the base section of the Raspberry Beetle Trap is green and not white as displayed in the picture to the left.
