Glen Ample is an exceptional Raspberry plant, high-yielding, mid-season variety that produces a heavy crop between late June and late July. Large, deep red berries are tasty and the fruit holds well without spoiling. The spine free canes make picking fresh fruit easy. The large, succulent berries have a superb flavour making them excellent to eat fresh or can be frozen. Estimated time to cropping once planted 16-20 months. Before planting, prepare a framework of wires stretched horizontally between two sturdy 1.8m posts to support stems. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost into the soil. Grow in a sunny position in any well drained soil. Plant in a row against the wire supports, allowing a distance of 60cm. Raspberry plant canes should be pruned to 15cm above ground level immediately after planting to encourage more shoots to be produced. Water well for the first year until plants are fully established. Loosely tie the stems in to their support wires as they grow. When berries begin to develop, place a net over the plants to protect the crop from birds. In autumn, prune the canes which have fruited to ground level. Canes which have not fruited should be ‘tied in’ to their supports. Aim to have 6 to 8 fruiting canes per plant. Apply a mulch of well-rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the canes in spring, this will help to retain moisture throughout the summer.
