Raspberry - Rocket Rubus idaeus

DESCRIPTION:
Meet Raspberry Rocket, the world's first naturally upright raspberry! Raspberry Rocket is an elegant new variety available for Australian home gardeners and is like no other. No stakes are required for the strong canes that create a columnar shape. Raspberry Rocket is a floricane variety, meaning that it fruits on its second-year growth.

COMMENTS:
The teardrop shaped fruit is an intense dark red colour with a unique flavour, harvestable from summer to autumn. Great for edible gardens in a pot or planted, and tight, narrow spaces!

TREE CARE:
Plant in full sun. If planting, prepare your site with compost, soil improvers, or composted manure. Dig your hole at the time of planting. Dig a hole twice the width of the pot, and one and a half deep. Backfill with a mixture of premium garden soil. Mulch and water in well. This raspberry produces berries on 2-year-old wood. Prune canes that have fruited in late Autumn/early Winter as the plant starts to drop leaves.

SIZE:
1.2m x 0.6m
