Cascade Gem is a Floricane from Washington State University, with a mid to late season harvest period.
Cascade Gem produces very large, long conical-shaped fruits that are bright red and glossy. The firm berries have a good, sweet flavour and a long shelf life.
Cascade Gem is a high-yielding variety with vigorous, stiff, and upright canes. While the upper laterals are medium in length, the lower laterals are very long and require support with a net. The canes have spines along their entire length.
In trials, Cascade Gem exhibited some field resistance to Phytophthora root rot.

Glen Ample is a tried and tested main season variety that was long the standard choice for UK growers. It reliably produces high yields of good quality fruits with a traditional raspberry flavour.
The spine-free, upright floricanes allow easy access to the fruiting laterals. The bright red berries are a round conical shape and are medium-large in size (4g+).
Glen Ample is a vigorous variety and cane thinning is often required to manage the regrowth.
Glen Ample lacks resistance to most of the major Raspberry pests and diseases. |
