Description:
I love raspberries and it always amazes me how easy they are to grow. ‘Zeva’ is a summer-fruiting raspberry, producing good yields of sweet-tasting, large fruit from July onwards. Fruits grow on current season’s growth. ‘Zeva’ is more tolerant of cold climates than other raspberries, and is suitable for growing in northerly regions.
Care:
I make sure the plants are fed and well watered in the height of growing season but be sure to not let them become waterlogged. Pick frequently when ripe to encourage more fruits and once a stem has finished fruiting cut it down to the ground!
Current appearance: Pre-growth (potted cane)
