Who says raspberries don’t grow on trees! This miraculous space-saving raspberry tree has been developed by an ingenious breeder from Japan named Toshikhiko Hara. His groundbreaking new raspberry develops thick overwintering stems which are trained to form upright ‘trees’ with a strong, central trunk supporting a crown of fruiting branches.
Instead of rows of sprawling raspberry canes which need space, support and tying in, you can now enjoy this neat ‘Hararasp' raspberry. With its small footprint, it can easily be accommodated in a sunny spot where it will make both an attractive and edible feature. From April to May it is covered in white blossom followed by an abundance of tasty fruit from June to August that is easily reached for harvesting.
The fruit is unusually attractive, as unlike the dull fruit of other raspberries, ‘Hararasp’ bears especially glossy and shiny berries. ‘Hararasp’ is also a disease-resistant Florican-type, with excellent tolerance to heat and drought plus early fruit ripening and a long harvest period. Maximum height: 175cm (69in). Maximum spread:100cm (40in).
Grow Rubus ‘Hararasp’ in a sunny position in fertile, well-drained soil. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost into the soil.
Rubus ‘Hararasp’ fruits on one-year-old stems (the previous season’s growth). Prune in early spring, cutting back old, fruited stems whilst leaving young, new growth and shaping the plant to suit your space.
Water well for the first year until plants are fully established. Apply a mulch of well-rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the canes in spring. This will help to retain moisture throughout the summer.
