Notes

'Glen Ample' raspberry (Rubus idaeus 'Glen Ample') is a shrub for hedges, privacy screens, and food gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The arching canes bloom in spring and summer. Deer tend to pass it by. Bees, butterflies, and birds all visit the plant.
