Producing a bumper crop of tasty fruits early in the season, raspberry 'Malling Promise' is noted for its tolerance to poor soils as well as its excellent disease resistance.
Each plump, flavoursome berry is large and firm and they are excellent for eating fresh, or making jams. They also last well when frozen.

Supplied as bare root canes. Prepare the ground well before planting. Remove all weeds and dig in plenty of well-rotted manure in to the area. Plant canes 8cm (3in) deep, at 45cm (18in) intervals, carefully spreading out the roots and backfilling with soil.
Subsequent rows should be 1.8m (6ft) apart. Once planted, shorten the canes to about 23cm (9in). Each spring, mulch well with well-rotted manure. Plants flower on one-year-old wood, so the new canes need to be separated from fruiting ones.
After cropping, cut the fruiting canes down to the ground and tie in the new ones that have grown that year.
