The detail
Raspberry Glen Ample is one of the most popular and reliable summer fruiting raspberry varieties available to UK gardeners. Bred by the James Hutton Institute in Scotland, Glen Ample is celebrated for producing heavy yields of large, firm, bright red berries with a wonderfully sweet flavour. The spine-free canes make harvesting and general maintenance a much more pleasant experience compared to traditional thorny varieties.
This vigorous and upright variety fruits on the previous year's growth, delivering an abundant crop from mid to late summer. The berries are ideal for eating fresh, freezing, or using in jams, desserts, and baking. Glen Ample is a self-fertile variety, so a single plant is capable of producing fruit, though planting several will increase your overall yield.
