Raspberry ‘Groovy’ (Autumn Fruiting)

Autumn fruiting.

Thought you didn’t have the space to grow raspberries? Think again! This compact patio raspberry is not only perfect for growing in containers in small spaces such as balconies and courtyard gardens, but its foliage is so attractive it will even blend into a mixed border as a ornamental shrub.

Raspberry ‘Groovy’ is compact and bushy, bearing short canes that only reach about 1 metre. Its golden yellow foliage forms a striking backdrop to the bright red fruit. The large, sweet-flavoured fruits are easy to pick off this near thornless plant and if birds are a problem, its petite size makes it really easy to net.

A primocane raspberry, it fruits on the current year’s wood so you’ll be picking delicious fresh raspberries from the first year.

All of our raspberries have been inspected by the Ministry of Agriculture for pests and diseases and certified. The bare root plants are hand graded and carefully selected before packing.
