Patio Raspberry 'Sweet Sunshine'

• ‘Sweet Sunshine’ fruits on last year’s stems, so cut down any raspberry canes that have already fruited in November, leaving long canes for the following year's crops.
• New shoots will soon emerge, and next year's fruit will be produced on these one-year-old, ripened canes.

• If planting several, plant them about 50cm (20in) apart in rows.
• Or grow in large pots, at least 30cm (1ft) diameter on your patio or balcony.
• For best results, plant in a sunny but sheltered position.
• Dig a hole roughly double the size of the roots and some good quality fertiliser such as Blood Fish & Bone.
• Aim to plant at the same depth as in the pot.
• Firm in and water well. Keep well-watered for the first few weeks to help plants to establish, then water regularly.

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
