Description

Finally! Here is a black raspberry that's really worth a place in your garden and the fruits produced are simply incredible.

You'll get a midsummer crop of ebony-coloured fruits, each with an intense flavour that is much more aromatic than regular raspberries and tests have shown that they are particularly high in healthy antioxidants. They are delicious eaten fresh and make a wonderful addition to juices and smoothies.

Originally from the US, 'Black Jewel' is tough, and hardy so ideally suited to British conditions and very easy to grow. It's genetically different to normal raspberries and has excellent disease resistance, the habit is just like a summer fruiting type with berries borne on year old growth.  Old canes should be pruned away after fruiting (in late summer).  Grow with supports against a sunny wall or fence or alternatively in a large pot.

Supplied as an established plant in a 1.7L pot, ready to plant out.

Top Tips
When planting, add mycorrhizal fungi to the planting hole to encourage improved root establishment and better crops.
Care Information
  • Place in full sun as the plants do much better in bright light.
  • Cut back old canes in February/March to approx. 5cm; this creates space for the emergence of new canes.
  • If planting in a container, use a pot with good drainage and use a potting medium that is specifically for container plants.
  • Your raspberry will be fine in a 5L pot for 1year, but after that, we recommend a 10L pot to allow the canes to spread.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
