This sale is for raspberry and thornless blackberry plants. 1 large Blackberry is $30, all other plants $25 each. Each plant has fruit!! All plants are in top-quality soil.

Buy asap before the fruit ripens.

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

I have 6 Raspberry plants and 3 Thornless Blackberry plants

Bulk Deal:
Spend $100, and I’ll include an extra two smaller plants.

TIP: Keep in pots until all fruit is picked. Then transplant.

Pick up in Rangiora. However, for a $100 purchase, I'm happy to deliver within 30 minutes of Rangiora for an extra $10.

We need to exchange mobile numbers before pickup.

Are you concerned about root spread when growing raspberries and blackberries?
If you are concerned re how to grow raspberries and keep them contained - fear not! It's not difficult to achieve. I’m happy to explain how to keep them under control and give you a 1-page ‘How To’ guide.
