Raspberry ‘Ruby Falls’. Where to buy in U.K.?

Can anyone tell me where I might find a seller for the Raspberry ‘Ruby Falls’? I’ve tried all the usual big brand sites, but it’s almost as though the plant doesn’t really exist 😀 I’d like to buy a few for my greenhouse hanging baskets, but goodness me it’s difficult to find them.

    I just typed 'Ruby Falls' into that large search engine that begins with G and got several responses, but it looks possible that it is being promoted mainly by T&M. Unfortunately they would not be my first choice of reliable suppliers, but you might be lucky...

    Did you check the date, Buttercupdays? That ship sailed a few years ago.

    I imagine there was some problem with propogation or licensing around 2018.

    There seem to be a lot of miniature varieties out there...maybe try one of them instead?

    Yes, there are others suitable for containers

    Thanks for the suggestions. I need something to trail down as it’s for a greenhouse basket. The container ones I guess will have a more upright habit? I’ll try them if I can’t find Ruby Falls, but as ‘Fire’ notes I guess there was a problem hence the trouble finding it.

    Blackberries, tomatoes or strawberries for hanging baskets are available.

    Maybe the idea didn't really work in the end.
