Little sweet sister

Season Overview

Description

The raspberry belongs to the rose family. This variety produces aromatic sweet-sour fruits and grows up to 1 m high. Its white flowers, which grow in clusters, bloom from May to June. In summer, raspberries develop red fruits on 2-year-old shoots and in autumn on 1-year-old shoots, which have a high vitamin C content. The bright red and dark berries also contain anthocyanins, which act as antioxidants. Raspberries are popular summer fruits that go well with many desserts, but also taste good on their own.

Growing tips

The raspberry prefers to grow in a wind-protected, semi-shady to sunny spot in the garden. To ensure a good harvest in the first year, the root balls should be planted in the fall, but they can also be planted in the spring. It is best to loosen the soil and mix in some compost before planting, as raspberries prefer loose, humus-rich soil. When planting, the buds should be covered with about 5 cm of soil and a distance of 40 - 50 cm should be maintained between the root balls. Water the root balls well immediately after planting. Depending on how tall your variety grows, you can also build a small scaffold to support the raspberries and make them easier to care for and harvest.
