Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant in spring or early autumn in a sunny spot with moist, humus-rich, slightly acid soil, 20–30 cm apart. Add peat or compost to the planting hole.
Watering and feeding. Arctic bramble dislikes drying out – water regularly and mulch. Feed lightly in spring with a berry fertiliser.
Care. Keep the bed weed-free, especially in the first years until the plants knit into a dense mat. Old stems can be removed in autumn.
Gardener's tip. Arctic bramble is self-sterile – plant at least two different varieties side by side for a good crop.
