When it comes to fruit, Incredible Edibles are proving highly popular with a range of unusual fruiting plants such as today's feature plant, raspberry ivory.

With all the characteristics of traditional red raspberries, raspberry ivory produces medium firm yellow-golden fruit that are lovely and sweet and can be used the same as their red cousins. They grow on upright canes, spread quickly and are very productive.

Easy to grow, they are self-fertile and crop from December through to April.

Raspberries date back to the Bronze Age, originating in Turkey.

They grow best in rich, organic soil with good drainage and in open sunny spots.
