Supplied as bare root canes pruned to approximately 2 - 3 feet (60 - 90 cm) tall including roots.

A mid season Summer fruiting spine-free raspberry raised at the Scottish Crop Research Institute from a complex cross including 'Glen Prose's and 'Meeker'. The variety has produced exceptional yields of firm fruit in trials and has established new standards in raspberry production.

Glen Ample produces large fleshy fruits of about 4-5 grams which are round conical in shape, attractive and with an excellent flavour. Cropping starts early July and carries through to mid August - highest yields being at the end of July.

Spine free, very upright, canes are produced in abundance. 'Glen Ample' has some tolerance to Root Rot. Its exceptionally high yield of firm quality fruit is the reason this now the most widely planted cultivar.

• Floricane - produces fruit on second year wood.
• Self Fertile.
