Raspberries are relatively easy to grow and—with proper care—can bear fruit indefinitely! Though raspberry bushes are naturally inclined to grow in cooler climates, the plants now come in many varieties suited to a range of planting zones!
There are two types of raspberries, both with their own specific requirements for growing. Summer-bearers bear one crop per season, in summertime. Ever-bearers bear two crops, one in summer and one in fall.
Plant in the early spring (or late winter for warm zones)
Plant far from wild growing berries, otherwise risk the spread of pests and diseases to your garden.
Prepare soil with compost or aged manure a couple weeks before planting.
Raspberries love moisture, so try soaking the roots for an hour or two before planting.
Dig a hole that is roomy enough for the roots to spread.
Space plants about 3 feet apart, in rows 8 feet apart.
After planting, cut back canes, leaving 8 to 10 inches.
Depending on the variety you plant, you may need to fashion a support. A trellis or a fence are good options. If you chose to use one of these, establish them at or before time of planting so the plants are not disturbed when maturing.
