Raspberry Cane Polka was bred in Poland by Dr. Jan Danek one of the worlds foremost raspberry breeders. A primocane variety (fruits on new canes) Polka is renowned for the high quality of its fruit. The large mid-red berries have an outstanding shelf life and the flavour is described as “clean and fruity with a convincing aroma”. Produces very heavy crops, up to 2.5 Kilos per plant, even where the soil is not everything it should be. Polka was selected as the leading raspberry variety for four consecutive years (2004-2007) at the prestigious UK National Fruit Show in Kent. The vigorous spine free plants show good disease resistance and are self fertile. Crops up to two weeks earlier than Autumn Bliss. Without a doubt Polka is one of the best raspberry introductions in recent years. Raspberries are a thirsty crop so keep the plants well watered during the growing season, apply a good general fertilizer approx. 2 oz. per square yard along the rows of canes in March, water in and apply a mulch of well rotted farm yard manure or compost. When growing raspberries in containers it is important to remove any flowers from the canes in the first season after planting.
