Raspberry Glen Lyon
Raspberry Glen Lyon
This is a healthy, self-fertile, thornless raspberry that produces extremely good yields of large, rounded, glossy fruit that’s consistently fine-flavoured and ready for picking in early June. It is a relatively new variety that’s excellent for culinary use and makes a reasonable dessert fruit that’s suitable for freezing. To harvest the raspberries, grasp each berry carefully with thumb and forefinger, and pull gently. If it doesn’t separate from the plug easily, without squashing the fruit, it isn’t ready for picking. Widely grown across Europe, it was originally developed in Scotland but proved to be most successful when grown in SpainThe plants that we supply will have a minimum of 3 canes per pot
