Raspberry, Glen Ample (mid season fruiting)

Glen Ample is the best and heaviest cropping of the mid-season raspberries. This raspberry crops from the first week of July onwards and is 50% cropped by the end of the third week of July. Glen Ample is spine free with upright canes. The fruiting side growths are also upright and carry relatively few leaves making picking easier. All raspberries (which we supply as bare-rooted canes) fall into one of the following categories: early, mid-season (like Glen Ample), late and autumn fruiting depending on when the bulk of their crop is ready for picking. Raspberries produce a first, large flush of fruit (roughly half the total) in the first few weeks of fruiting. Thereafter the supply of raspberries reduces. For continuous picking therefore you will need to have some of each type. Glen Ample should be planted with about 60cms between plants and 2.5 metres between rows.
