Description

One of the best autumn fruiting varieties bred in Poland.  Polka is known for its cropping consistency and large fruit, conical shaped, medium red in colour, with an outstanding sweet, aromatic flavour and first-class shelf life. 

Our Scottish grown Raspberry Polka have spine free canes with a good disease resistance, very popular in the UK.   Polka is a primocane variety with its fruit ripening almost 10 days before Autumn Bliss.  Polka produces fruit on the first years growth with the most abundant crop during August. 

Where to Plant

Plant in a sheltered spot, well-draining, but moist, fertile ground, full to partial sun.  Make sure you soak the rootball before planting.   Place the cane in a hole that is twice the diameter of the rootball.  Mix fertiliser into the planting hole at this time, either organic or general fertiliser.  Raspberry canes should be about 18 inches apart in rows of about 4ft apart.  Water regularly until established.

Cut all canes to ground level in winter after first crop.  Remove unwanted canes in the spring.
