 Planting instructions

Raspberries (rubus spp.)

 

Exposure: Full sun to light shade. Zones 3 to 9.
Soil: Average to moist, rich, well-drained garden soil. Prevers acidic to circumneutral garden soil.
Growth habits: Spreading brambles that develop sprawling semi-woody canes to 6 feet.
Landscape uses: Raspberries are best planted in trellised beds or along fences for easy harvest. Raspberry beds are often located adjacent to vegetable gardens as they have similar soil requirements. They are excellent subjects for berry farming. Raspberry beds will need periodic renovation to maintain their productivity.
Edible/Medicinal properties: Whichever raspberry variety you choose, their fruit is delicious and highly nutritious. Raspberries are best fresh, but can be juiced, made into fruit preserves or desserts, frozen or dried.

$15.00/2 gal
