Raspberry Twotimer Sugana Yellow®

An ever-bearing raspberry which gives an autumn, then a summer crop, Rubus ideaus Twotimer Sugana Yellow ® is an upright, deciduous, rather thorny shrub with upright canes. The fruit is huge, pale yellow, conical and sweet, with an even better flavour than Twotimer Sugana Red ®, of which it’s a sport. The typical raspberry leaves are deep green, turning yellow in autumn. Pretty white flowers, attractive to pollinators, are borne in spring. Self-fertile, you will get an autumn crop on the top third of the cane, and a crop the following summer on the lower two-thirds. To prune, cut away very thick canes and weak canes to leave 5-6 canes in February to March; also prune any part of the remaining canes that has already fruited, leaving the rest of the cane to fruit in July. This is quite a small plant, ideal for the smaller garden or for large containers on a patio or terrace. Plant in soil-based, ericaceous compost.
