Description
Raspberry Tulameen is a very popular raspberry variety producing abundant crops of very large, sweet-flavoured fruits. The fruits can be eaten fresh from the plant or used in puddings, preserves or even frozen.
Planting Position
The Raspberry Tulameen thrives in full sun or partial shade, making it adaptable to various garden settings. When selecting a planting location, ensure the soil is well-draining, fertile, and rich in organic matter. It prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil pH levels (around 5.5 to 7.0). If your soil tends to be heavy or clay-based, consider incorporating compost or well-rotted manure to improve drainage and enhance soil structure.
After Care Tips
Raspberries are easy to grow but do require moderate maintenance. Prune any dried, overlapping or damaged branches during the dormant season to maintain a healthy plant and encourage fruit production. As the Raspberry Tulameen grows, provide sturdy support, such as trellises or stakes, to prevent the canes from bending or breaking under the weight of the fruit. Water well and feed monthly during the growing season.
