This vigorous, broadly columnar tree makes an excellent specimen for a sunny, suburban garden. Shelter from strong winds and avoid disturbing the roots, since the tree is prone to suckering.

On established trees pruning is best kept to a minimum as large pruning cuts don’t heal well. Remove suckers early on.

Ideally this should come from the same pollination group, however it is possible to use one from group B or D as well.

Kitchen garden trug £19.99
We loved the galvanised metal trug that was such a classic piece of 50’s design. Such a great shape, not heavy and very hard wearing. But we couldn’t find any old ones, so we designed these instead. The main difference with our version is that the surface is lacquered for extra protection. Dimensions: height 11cm (excluding handle) x length 45cm x width 32cm

raspberry ‘Chemainus’ (mid season floricane raspberry canes) £12.99
Position: full sun Soil: fertile, well-drained soil Rate of growth: fast-growing Other features: large, delicious raspberries from summer to autumn Hardiness: fully hardy Garden care: Find a sunny spot and prepare a bed by clearing it of weeds and digging in lots of composted manure. The canes will need to be tied onto a sturdy support, so if you have the space, hammer in two robust tree stakes about 3m apart and string two or three heavy-gauge wires between them. Autumn fruiting raspberries tend to be shorter and bushier, so may not need as much height as the summer-fruiting types. In smaller gardens you can grow them against a fence or up a single tree stake. Dig a wide, shallow trench, sprinkle with bonemeal and plant the canes at 45cm intervals, (subsequent rows should be 1.8m apart), carefully spreading out the roots and back-filling with soil. You should be able to see the old soil mark on the stems, so aim to replant the same depth. After planting cut the canes back to around 15cm from their base and apply a generous layer of mulch in spring. As the new canes emerge, they can be tied onto their support as they grow. Feed during the growing season with a general purpose fertiliser and water regularly during the summer. You may need to protect the ripening fruit from being eaten by birds.
