Collection of 3 Raspberry Bushes for a Spreading Harvest.

<strong>Raspberry</strong> is a cousin of brambles and wild roses as it belongs to the Rosaceae family. Wild raspberry occurs in temperate Europe and Asia where it favours cool lowland and mid‑mountain climates, in open areas or woodland. <strong>Raspberry is a very fragile fruit</strong> that does not travel well and keeps poorly, which is why, <strong>being able to grow it in the garden is a blessing. This undershrub however has the drawback of constantly needing to renew its canes to fruit and of having a strong tendency to overflow the bed.</strong> But <strong>maintenance is ultimately quite simple</strong> since it is enough to remove dead parts (whole canes or just the top) and to thin out the number of new canes to obtain raspberries of a good size, very flavoursome, and to control its spread. <strong>Raspberry bush needs consistently cool soil</strong> because its root system is shallow. A thick mulch of fallen leaves is a good way to keep soil cool while fertilising it. Picking raspberries in the garden as they ripen is the best way to savour them, but it is understandable to want to enjoy them differently. Making coulis, sorbets and freezing fruit so you have them on hand to make tarts, pastries such as raspberry cake or mousses means you need to harvest fruit and keep it for at least a few days. Place raspberries in a basket covered with a cloth, without stacking them too much so as not to crush them, and keep them cool. <a href="https://en.promessedefleurs.eu/fruit-trees/berries/raspberry-plants/collection-of-3-raspberry-bushes-for-a-spreading-harvest.html">By choosing varieties carefully</a>, you will obtain a continuous harvest from June until the first frosts!
