Buying Raspberry canes in Scotland
« on: October 19, 2013, 10:38:39 am »
I want to plant some raspberry canes but don't seem to be able to find a scottish supplier with an online shop.  Anyone any ideas.  Otherwise its a 100 miles round trip to Inverness and the garden centre

I think these people in Glenrothes, Fife, definitely do it, hope this helps!

Supermarkets!  I've never used a specialist outlet and always had excellent results.

Thanks very much lachlanandmarcus.  Why couldn't I find them?  Searched and searched.  I prefer to buy Scottish canes for hardiness doganjo.  We are about 800 ft in the highlands and canes from Norfolk may not like the cold and wind.

Hmm, perhaps, but mine survived temperatures in Aberdeenshire of minus 18C  :innocent:

Did you buy them then, ie from Scotplants ?

Were you please at their quality ?

I am going to get some raspberries too and was impressed at their website

Regards !
