Raspberry, Tulameen (late season fruiting)

Tulameen raspberries are bright, glossy fruit that are resistant to wet weather. The quality, flavour and high cropping make this tall raspberry the best of the late croppers. Tulameen starts producing fruit towards the end of July and continues into August. Raspberries (which we send out as bare-rooted canes) are generally categorised as early, mid-season, late (like Tulameen) or autumn fruiting depending on when their yield peaks. Raspberries tend to have a first, heavy flush of fruit - about half the season's total in the first few weeks of fruiting. Thereafter the raspberries crop much more slowly. To get a steady crop through the raspberry season, which can run from June to October it is advisable to plant some raspberries from each group. Glen Ample should be planted with about 60cms between plants and 2.5 metres between rows.
