Do you mulch raspberry plants?
You should lightly mulch your raspberry plants with weed seed-free straw during establishment to help control weeds and help the soil retain moisture. Leaves, grass clippings, and wood bark are not recommended as they may become matted or too heavy, impeding the growth of new canes.
Do I need to trellis my raspberries?
Trellising raspberries is one of the most important cultural practices. It doesn’t have to be expensive and time-consuming. A simple T-bar post with twine will do.
What is a summer-bearing raspberry plant?
Floricane (summer-bearing) raspberry plants bear fruit one year after planting. The second-year canes are pruned out after the summer harvest.
How do I properly space my raspberry plants?
Raspberry plants should be spaced 18”–24” in the row for red and yellow raspberries, 20”–24” in the row for black raspberries, and 8’–12’ between rows.
How much sunlight does a raspberry plant need?
Raspberry plants should be exposed to direct sunlight for at least 8 hours per day.
