Raspberry Canes in Stock
Our Scottish grown raspberry canes are now in stock at Woodside, ready for planting now.
Based in Perthshire, Eastern Scotland, James McIntyre & Sons have been specialising in the production of soft fruit plants for over 60 years. They now produce over a million raspberry canes every year from 60 acres of ground located within the beautiful town of Blairgowrie, in the Strathmore Valley, as well as growing other soft fruit plants on the nursery, such as Loganberries, Gooseberries and Currants – all also available to purchase at Woodside.
The varieties of Raspberry canes we have in stock are:
Allgold – a very reliable autumn fruiting variety with tasty small yellow berries
Autumn Bliss – a red berried autumn variety, fruiting from late August until the first frosts, and doesn’t require support
Glen Ample – a mid season variety with heavy crops on spine-free canes, and with good disease resistance
Glen Clova – an early fruiting variety (July) with small but flavoursome fruits which freeze well
Glen Ericht – an early variety with good disease resistance. Sharp flavour so excellent for jam making
Glen Magna – a late summer variety with large sweet fruits, and good resistance to disease and aphids
Glen Prosen – a mid season summer variety with extremely high yields of good quality firm fruits on spine free canes
Malling Admiral – a strong growing mid-season variety with large flavoursome berries, on almost spine free canes. Good disease and virus resistance so good for organic growers
Malling Jewel – a traditional favourite mid season variety with good virus resistance
Malling Leo – a late fruiting summer variety perfect for extending the picking season. Tall vigorous canes with good disease resistance
Malling Promise – an vigorous and abundant early variety with firm fruits
Tulameen – a modern late summer fruiting variety with reliable high yields, suitable for growing in a large container and can be trained up a trellis or obelisk.
In addition we have also had a new delivery of Honeyberries. These are members of the honeysuckle family and originate from Siberia so are very hardy. These are easy to grow shrubs producing attractive blue berries with a zingy flavour and packed full of goodness. They need to be planted in two’s for pollination and all our varieties (Blue Banana, Boreal Beauty and Boreal Blizzard) will act as pollination partners for each other.
