Raspberry Octavia

Bred at the east Malling research station ,this variety is set to make a big impact on how we perceive Raspberries. Large uniform berries ,roundish in shape with good colour and a pleasant flavour.Excellent winter hardiness, resistant to cane spot and botrytis.
yield is on average 2kg per plant in trials.
Raspberries grow best in rich,well-drained soil with a pH 6.0 to 6.5. They benefit from supplemental manure. They should not be planted in an area where peppers, potatoes or tomatoes have been grown within three years, because some varieties can be susceptible to verticillium wilt .
New plants should be set in the soil about 2 inches deeper than they were originally growing. They should be planted in Autumn or early spring about 18 “ apart in rows which are spaced about 4 -6 feet apart.
After planting, cut the canes back to 4 inches, leaving the stubs to mark the rows until new sprouts appear. Newly planted summer fruiting raspberries should be left alone for the first year to establish themselves, and then cut back to 3-5 canes per plant when the buds begin to show in the following spring.

Raspberry plants should be fed in early spring with all purpose 10-10-10 fertilizer or chicken pellets around them at the rate of 2-3 oz per yard. They must not be allowed to dry out during flowering and fruiting. In spring, shorten the canes to 3 feet, forcing the growth into lateral side branches which are trained along support wires.. After they produce fruit, the spent canes are cut back to the ground. With ever bearing varieties the second crop is produced on canes which sprout in the spring, these canes shouldn't be cut back until they produce fruit the following spring.
