Zon of lichte schaduw; voedzame bodem met afvoer. Geef lange takken een blijvende steun.
Edible hedge: Install support posts and wires. Plant with enough width for the variety. Spread new canes over the wires. Remove old, fruited wood each year.
Waaiervorm tegen schutting: Monteer draden met ruimte tot de schutting. Leid jonge scheuten waaiervormig. Laat fruit aan bereikbare zijtakken hangen. Controleer banden op insnoeren.
Verwijder afgedragen stengels na oogst en bind de nieuwe scheuten voor volgend jaar in.
A row of bramble fruits becomes more attractive when you distribute the shoots deliberately. Put in a sturdy wire framework first and keep the harvest accessible from the path. Tie in with soft, roomy loops; lay different shoots alongside one another rather than making a thick bundle. This helps you find the fruit and makes removing the right canes later easier.
Distinguish young replacement shoots from wood that has already fruited. With summer raspberries and many bramble fruits, you want to retain new wood for a following harvest. Autumn raspberries need their own approach: do not automatically copy the pruning schedule for a summer cultivar. A photograph before pruning and a label by the plant help you remember what you did.
Choose for the time of eating too. A bowl of soft fruit eaten straight from the plant calls for something different from fruit for jam or a pie. Compare aroma, acidity and how the fruit comes away. A tayberry or loganberry is a different choice from a blackberry with an unusual name. Give these hybrids their own places so you can compare flavour and vigour fairly.
Loch Ness: Compact, thornless.
