Because all the fruit ripens around the same time, it's perfect for making jams and other processed foods. This plant bears fruit on last year's growth, making it a \"Floricane\" variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Winter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRow spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5m\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2m.
