- What do you get when you cross a black raspberry with red raspberry? A purple raspberry, of course! This hybrid variety produces wonderfully flavourful purple-fleshed fruit in the middle of summer. The raspberries boast an exceptional flavour profile, combining irresistible sweetness with a refreshing tanginess.
- Unlike many raspberry varieties, 'Glencoe' bushes comprise thornless stems (often also called canes) which means that, when it comes to picking your fruit, you won't need a supply of sticking plasters on standby ready to tend to your cuts and scratches...
- When people think of raspberry plants, they (understandably) first think of the moreish fruit the canes provide, but 'Glencoe' produces wonderful little white flowers, too!
- Given its relatively compact, bushy nature, this raspberry variety is a great choice for growing in a container on your patio or balcony.
- There are two types of raspberry, summer-fruiting and autumn-fruiting; this variety is a summer-fruiting variety which produces fruit on the previous year's canes, rather than on the current year's growth.
- Rubus idaeus (of which 'Glencoe' is a variety) has been certified by the RHS as one of its Plants for Pollinators; bees love, love, love raspberry plants, and, really, who can blame them?
