They are a fantastic addition to a fresh summer salad. All berries are great for jams and jellies, juice, or wine. High in Vitamin C and dietary fibre.

Like any deciduous fruiting plant, they benefit from Copper and Oil sprays during winter to help keep the plant healthy and disease-free. Plant in spaces with plenty of airflow as this will also help keep diseases at bay. Protect only from hot, dry winds, plant in a well-drained position with good moisture content and high in organic matter, as this will see the plant thrive. (Mulch annually in spring).
Pruning all brambles involves tying up strong canes produced in spring and summer and removing thin, weak, and wandering canes. In late summer - early autumn, remove 10cm of the terminal growth of the canes. This will initiate the production of fruiting spurs. Remove fruited canes from the soil base in autumn (or winter in cooler, dryer areas).
