Price is £14.99 from www.crocus.co.uk, tel: 01344 578111. Canadian-bred, long-cane raspberry ‘Chemainus’ is an early to mid-season floricane variety that’s heavy cropping and highly disease resistant. Good sized, brightly-coloured berries in July have a well-balanced flavour, with both sweetness and acidity. Good for freezing.
