I planted 29 summer fruiting raspberry canes during the week. There were 15 Malling Jewell and 14 Glen Clova. I constructed a double fence support system for them using some scrap timber. I used five 7′ posts, 2′ of which was sunk into the ground. The posts were set 10′ apart.
Two 2′ crosses were then screwed to the posts, one at the top and the second 2′ below that. The books recommend using galvanised wire to support the raspberries between the posts, as I didn’t have any I used some strong polypropylene twine instead, not sure if this will be sufficient.
More twine was then tied between the two lines of twine on either sides of the posts at 18″ intervals. As Malling Jewell has compact growth the books recommend that two canes are planted at each station. Summer fruiting raspberries fruit on 1 year old growth so it will be next year before I’ll have a crop.
