Raspberry neighbours
« on: March 12, 2012, 20:08 »
Hi, I have a patch of allotment that has several raspberry bushes, they are kind of in a circle with a gap in the middle, what fruit bush could I plant in the gap. Should I just add the same or is there anything that would live in the middle not raspberry?  :unsure:

If the gap is only 2' in diameter then I wouldn't try to grow any permanent fruit bush inside.  It will grow beyond its allotted space, and compete for water / nutrients with the established raspberries.

Thank you, the raspberries that are there have sprouted all over the show including through the flagged paving and underneath neighbouring beds so probably best left alone  :)
