Plant description
Often considered one of the best summer-fruiting raspberries, the large and juicy fruits of this award-winning form, tend to retain their firmness for at least week after ripening.
Their flavour and deep red colouring are also exceptional, which makes raspberry 'Malling Jewel' perfect for eating fresh or adding to tarts or puddings.

How to care for raspberry Malling Jewel:
Supplied as bare root canes. Prepare the ground well before planting. Remove all weeds and dig in plenty of well-rotted manure in to the area. Plant canes 8cm (3in) deep, at 45cm (18in) intervals, carefully spreading out the roots and backfilling with soil.
Subsequent rows should be 1.8m (6ft) apart. Once planted, shorten the canes to about 23cm (9in). Each spring, mulch well with well-rotted manure. Plants flower on one-year-old wood, so the new canes need to be separated from fruiting ones.
After cropping, cut the fruiting canes down to the ground and tie in the new ones that have grown that year.

Please note:
This plant is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
