Raspberry plants (4 plants for $30)

Richard from Rangiora

This sale is for purchases of four raspberry plants (4x $10 plants for $30)

Pick up my free ‘How To Grow Raspberries’ guide with your purchase.

I also have some individual raspberries ($15 and $20 each) and some thornless blackberries ($15-$25 each)

Discounts for bulk purchases. All plants are in top-quality soil.

All raspberries have been transplanted from existing Clutha, Heritage and Lewis varieties. They produce fantastic raspberries. The thornless blackberries are Black Satin.

Pick up in Rangiora. However, for an $80 purchase, I'm happy to deliver within 30 minutes of Rangiora for an extra $10.

We need to exchange mobile numbers before pickup.

If you are concerned about how to keep berries contained or want advice on growing them I’m happy to explain and give you a 2-page ‘How To’ guide.
