Raspberry, Octavia

Description

Produces crops from late July to late August, filling the gap between summer and autumn crops. Large, sweet, firm, good flavour fruits, with few seeds. Upright habit and crops down to the base of the canes. Very hardy and easily managed. Prefers a cool, moist position with rich, neutral to acidic soil but avoid planting in waterlogged soil. Self-fertile, but cross pollinated plants yield larger fruits. Plant 45cm (18ins) apart with 150cm (5ft) between rows. Price for 5 bare-root canes (plants).
