Summer raspberry 'Glen Ample'

The red summer raspberry 'Glen Ample' is one of the most highly valued varieties thanks to its combination of high yield, vigorous growth, and excellent taste. This Scottish variety is ideal for both hobby gardens and professional cultivation.

The plant grows vigorously to a height of 1.8–2.5 meters and forms sturdy, almost thornless stems. This makes it easy to maintain, but it does require a simple support structure such as wires or a trellis.

In summer, 'Glen Ample' generously produces large, bright red raspberries. The fruits have a full, sweet flavor with a fresh undertone and a firm, juicy texture that is perfect for fresh consumption.

The plant itself also has added value: young leaves can be used for mild herbal tea with a subtle fruity taste. In addition, the flowers attract bees and other pollinators, which enhances biodiversity in the garden.

The raspberry prefers a sunny location in nutritious, humus-rich, and well-draining soil. It is very winter-hardy and not very susceptible to diseases, ensuring reliable and long-lasting production.
