    Raspberries grow on canes , not on trees, so would doubt they would be in this promotion.

    If you`re buying a Bramleys , bear in mind it is a triploid - it needs 2 other apple trees nearby to pollinate properly and set fruit - so make sure if you haven`t got other apples in your garden, that your neighbours have, or you may end up disappointed.

    don`t be put off - raspberries can be even easier to grow than tree fruits - you`ll get fruit much quicker, though the birds do like them, so they would be better netted. They do tend to "spread" though, so expect to find canes popping up 3 or more feet away from the main canes. You do have to be careful not to plant too deep though. Good luck!
