Rubus idaeus 'Octavia'
Raspberry 'Octavia' is an August-fruiting variety that bridges the gap between summer- and autumn-fruiting raspberries, producing extremely high yields of large, bright red berries. The fruits have a delicious, sweet flavour and an excellent shelf life, making them perfect for eating fresh, cooking into desserts, making raspberry jams or gin, or freezing for later use.
Very hardy and easy to pick, ‘Octavia’ is an excellent choice for northern gardeners and performs reliably in cooler conditions. Its strong, upright habit and vigorous growth make it a dependable and productive option for gardens and allotments.

Raspberry Growing Tips
- Prefer being planted in sunny, sheltered locations, although they will tolerate partial shade.
- Thrive in moisture-retentive, fertile, slightly acidic soils which are well-drained.
- Tie in new canes to supports as they grow to keep plants upright and productive.
- Regular pruning will result in healthier plants with better-quality fruit.
- All varieties are self-fertile and are pollinated by insects.
- If you would like to eat the fruits yourself, don't forget to cover the plant to stop the birds getting them!
