Overview
10 bareroot canes per pot.
A vigorous summer fruiting raspberry that is an excellent cultivar for the home garden. The upright cane have a large diameter and minimum spines allowing for a simple pain-free picking experience. The fruit is a stunning dark red and their size is exceptional – some berries have been known to weigh in at 7g! The berries are fleshy, conical, and have a superbly sweet and aromatic flavour. Magna is a high yielder and shows good disease resistance particularly to aphid and bushy dwarf virus. Excellent for freezing. Self fertile. Harvest late July and August.
Plant 45cm (18in) apart in rows 1.2m (4ft) apart.
Plant in a sheltered spot in a well-drained but moist, fertile soil in full sun or light shade. Ensure the rootball is moist before planting. Plant in a hole twice the diameter of the root-ball or pot. Mix soil improver and general fertiliser with the infill soil. Water regularly until established.
Fruit is produced on the current seasons cane. Cut all cane to ground level in the winter. Keep rows 60cm (2ft) wide by removing unwanted cane in the Spring.
