Lovely young raspberry plant, well protected for transport. The buds are already showing. Once planted in acidic soil, it just wants to grow. I can't wait to be rewarded with a harvest. I recommend it.

Description
The Zeva Organic Raspberry Bush (also known as Zefa Herbsternte), from Organic Agriculture, is an old and productive perennial variety. The plant has short and mostly thornless stems and does not need to be trained. It produces large, shiny dark red fruits of excellent taste in abundance and over a long period. It bears fruit in June, and then from August to October, until the first frosts. The raspberry bush, scientifically known as Rubus idaeus, should be planted from October to March in well-prepared, loose and enriched garden soil without excessive lime, which stays moist in summer.
To fully enjoy their flavour, raspberries should be eaten soon after picking, as they do not keep for very long. If you have a plentiful harvest, consider making coulis, sorbets, ice creams, tarts, or jams. You can also freeze them. Production reaches its normal level in the third year after planting. One plant can bear fruit for around 10 years. There are everbearing varieties, which produce from June to October, and non-everbearing varieties, which have a bountiful harvest in June - July.
The Raspberry Bush is a deciduous shrub with upright stems, forming a bush about 1.50 m (5ft) in all directions over time. The stems or canes are biennial, each one dying after fruiting. Every year, new canes with small prickles emerge from their roots. In this Zeva variety, the canes are almost thornless. The Raspberry Bush has leaves which are green on top, white-green and hairy on the underside. The flowering is very attractive to bees. The small white flowers (1 to 2 cm (0 to 1in) in diameter), are grouped in clusters of 10 to 12 from April to August-September. The fruits consist of small clustered drupes that are easy to detach when ripe.
The Raspberry Bush belongs to the Rosaceae family, like strawberries, blackberries, and wild roses. The wild raspberry is native to Europe and temperate Asia, where it grows in cool climates alongside elderberry, beech, or mountain ash, especially in mountain undergrowth, but also in plains.

Planting and care
The Organic Zeva Raspberry prefers humus-rich soils that retain moisture, even in summer, without too much limestone. It thrives in partially shaded but bright exposures. In northern regions, it tolerates full sun, while in the south, it prefers partial shade. Plant it from October to March in ordinary soil enriched with compost and well-rotted manure.
Space the plants 80 cm (32in) apart in rows 1.50 m (5ft) apart. During planting, the collar should be level with the ground. It is advisable to train them with wires stretched between stakes or on a trellis.
Regular watering is necessary to promote root growth in the first year of planting. During periods of high heat or prolonged drought, provide extra water. Weed the surface, especially at the beginning of planting and apply mulch to retain moisture in summer.
Raspberry plants can be susceptible to various diseases if the growing conditions are not optimal (raspberry anthracnose, raspberry rust, powdery mildew, grey rot during rainy periods, or Botrytis). The damage you see in cultivation is caused by poor weather conditions, especially during cold springs that allow micro-fungi present in the soil to infest the vegetation. To protect the plants, feed raspberries with organic fertilisers that promote the multiplication of anaerobic bacteria in the soil, which strengthens the soil's ability to stimulate the plant's immune system. Raspberries can also be attacked by certain parasites such as raspberry worms, the larvae of small beetles that infest the fruits without causing significant damage.
Raspberries can easily be propagated through suckers that grow near the base: remove them and replant them in another area of the garden if desired.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
