Giant raspberry ‘Titan’

Giant Raspberry 'Titan' (Rubus idaeus ‘Titan’). Rubus idaeus ‘Titan’, known as the 'Titan' red raspberry, is a deciduous fruit bush with an upright and very vigorous habit, recognized for the exceptional size of its fruit and its abundant early production. This non-recurrent variety produces a concentrated harvest of particularly large and well-formed raspberries from the beginning of summer. Its creamy white spring flowers attract pollinators and ensure reliable fruit set. The dense, bright green foliage supports robust canes which benefit from support in intensive cultivation. Rubus idaeus ‘Titan’ prefers full sun exposure and fertile, rich, well-drained soil to optimize size and flavor.

To plant the giant raspberry 'Titan', choose an appropriate exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is: rich, well-drained, slightly acidic. Provide access to pick the fruit without breaking the new canes. Pruning depends on the fruiting cycle: distinguish the stems that have produced shoots destined for the next harvest. Support can facilitate the maintenance of vigorous varieties. Water the root ball before planting it and check that water can drain after planting. During recovery, check the moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow a width of 1.2–1.5 m (4–5 ft) to organize the space for this plant in the garden. The indicated height of 1.8–2 m (6–6.5 ft) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Keep access to the base to weed, check moisture, and remove damaged parts. Associate this variety with plants whose light and water needs are compatible. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Potted roots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
