Raspberry Mini-Me™ (Dwarf)

Raspberry Mini-Me™ is a dwarf raspberry with a round compact habit and is thornless. No staking or support is required. A full-sized light red juicy berry with a sweet raspberry flavour. Ideal for containers on the deck or patio. Harvest is in December -January.

Raspberries are a top antioxidant food, high in fibre, vitamin C and folate.

In early spring, new sprouts will begin to develop from the soil; new growth should also appear on pre-existing canes (stems). Make sure to leave all new growth intact, whether growing from the ground or on existing stems. The new canes that sprout from the ground will not fruit until next year. On the other hand, the old canes should produce berries this summer. Removing these now would mean no fruit this year! It would be best to cut off only any truly dead stems that show no signs of new growth after the rest of the bush has leafed out. Dead canes can be removed at ground level.

All Raspberries like soil rich in organic matter with good drainage. Roots are close to the surface, so will benefit from mulching with organic matter and regular watering during dry periods. Apply general fertiliser in spring. Spray with organic copper and an organic oil spray in winter and at bud burst to help prevent insect and fungal diseases.

Height: Approx 60cm high by 60cm wide. 

Ideal for gardens or pots
