Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Prune raspberries after fruiting to remove old growth and encourage stronger new growth for the following season.
How to Water
Raspberries need consistent watering, especially during fruiting. Water deeply to keep the soil moist but not soggy, ensuring good drainage.
How to Plant
Plant raspberries in well-drained, fertile soil, in a sunny spot. Space plants about 45-60cm apart. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the roots, and cover with soil. Water well after planting.
