Eat your own raspberries all year round!

Richard from Rangiora

Grow a bumper crop every year and freeze the surplus for winter!

These raspberries are amazing!

Let’s connect - I will:
- show you my two domestic raspberry patches

- explain how to grow them effectively

- sell (or exchange with) you enough plants to get you started (for half what you’ll pay in the shops)

- explain how to avoid root spread

- give you a 2-page handout with instructions

Planting then now/soon will give them an awesome head start on next season (don’t wait for spring!)

These are fantastic fruiters (red raspberries - Heritage, Cluther & Lewis)

Bartering?
Can’t afford to buy? I’m open to swapping plants for other produce including relish, jam, whatever you make.

Send me a message and we'll swap phone numbers.

PS I also have some exceptional thornless blackberries.

I have 100+ pots of raspberry plants to get rid of (plus some thornless blackberries)

I charge half of what the stores charge. The more you buy the better the deal.

These are fantastic fruiters (red raspberries - Heritage, Cluther & Lewis)

Happy to give advice re how to grow them and not have the roots spread.
