RASPBERRIES - MAIN COLLECTION

GLEN CLOVA

Early mid-season variety providing a very heavy crop of quality fruit. Ideal for all purposes, the bright red fruit ripens over a long period giving a good early pick and heavy mid-season yield. Excellent flavour, the large fruits of this variety will keep their 'fresh picked' look for exhibition. Its longer picking season makes Glen Clova the ideal choice if you are growing only one variety. Still as popular as ever.

GLEN MOY

A new, very heavy cropping variety, Glen Moy is an early variety raised from a cross between Glen Clova, Lloyd George and Malling Landmark. The canes are numerous, completely spine free and erect, making picking more comfortable. Heavy cropping and easily picked from the very short, compact fruiting laterals, the medium red fruits are large and moderately firm with an excellent flavour. Glen Moy has excellent virus resistance including resistance to Amphorophora Idaei, which is the main vector of virus. One of the first spine free raspberry cultivars and an excellent early variety that is ideal for dessert and freezing. With its flavourful fruits produced in abundance, erect growth, spine free canes, and virus resistance, Glen Moy is an excellent addition to our list of varieties. Raised by the Scottish Crop Research Institute.

MALLING DELIGHT

An early mid-season variety with very large, long fruits which are easily picked. Once the heaviest crop of all varieties. Aphid resistant so tends to escape virus disease. A good flavoured dessert variety with pleasing cane growth. The fruit can occasionally be a little soft in very wet seasons but the results achieve with this variety are very impressive.

GLEN LYON

A new mid-season variety with good compact spine free growth that is very easy to manage. The medium sized fruits are firm with a lovely tangy flavour and have excellent keeping qualities. They will keep fresh in the fridge for several days after picking. The bright shiny red fruits are easy to pick as the new canes tend to emerge in the centre and away from the ripening fruits. The quality of the fruits is superb and yields are extremely high, similar to Glen Moy. With its compact spine free canes, Glen Lyon is a perfect garden variety but it does require good soil conditions to thrive. Do no plant this variety on poor or heavy soils. Glen Lyon will often give you the bonus of an autumn crop by producing more fruits on the tips of the new canes later in the year. Highly recommended for all good soils.

*MALLING JEWEL

Mid-season, all-purpose variety providing medium to large, high quality fruit of fine, sweet flavour. A very reliable cropper, easy to manage, somewhat frost and Botrytis resistant. Good compact growth makes this variety less liable to wind damage. An excellent variety giving the true raspberry flavour for all purposes.

*GLEN PROSEN

A new mid-late season variety raised by the Scottish Crop Research Institute. With Malling Jewel and Lloyd. George among its parents, as is to he expected, the flavour is exceptional. The canes are moderate in growth, strong and upright, spine free and very easy to pick. Medium red, firm berries that are excellent for dessert and exceptional for freezing. The crop is heavy. Excellent virus resistance including resistance to amphorophora Idaea, the main aphid vector of virus. With its heavy crop of flavourful fruits produced on smooth, compact canes, together with aphid resistance, Glen Prosen has become an exceptional new mid-season variety. Very highly recommended.

MALLING ADMIRAL

A mid/late season variety with firm, large fruit of delicious flavour. Bright, dark red fruit of superb quality for freezing, jam and dessert. Canes are strong and numerous and have resistance to Spur Blight, cane Botrytis and some viruses and Arabis Mosaic. The quality fruit hang in abundance, providing a reasonable crop of flavourful berries. An easy to manage variety that is very popular, but only moderate cropper.

LEO

A late summer fruiting variety with a season similar to that of Norfolk Giant, producing fruit of very high quality well into August. The medium sized, bright orange-red berries have delicious flavour and are suitable for all purposes. The heavier cropping potential makes Leo a valuable variety for extending the picking season. The fruits are excellent for dessert, freeze exceptionally well, and are suitable for all other purposes. The canes are upright and picking is easy as the fruit is well presented. Leo is another variety from East Malling Research Station with the added advantage that it has resistance to strains of the large raspberry aphid, so tends to be very resistant to virus disease. An excellent variety and should be planted far more often.

AUGUSTA

Augusta effectively bridges the fruiting gap between Leo and Autumn Bliss, cropping very late in the summer season to provide fruits for August desserts. The fruits are dark red, round, medium to large and suitable for all purposes. Easy to pick as the fruits are firm and dry and do not squash in damp weather. You will find the excellent flavour very refreshing. Augusta has given exceptionally heavy crops in trials and even outcropped Glen Moy in a four year ministry trial in Scotland with more fruit produced per individual cane. Cane growth is quite vigorous and not overcrowded. Resistant to Amphophora Idaea the main vector virus.
