RASPBERRIES
Grows best in areas having a slowly warming, lingering spring.
Plant 2-4 ft. apart in 6-8 ft. rows in well drained soils.
Ripening: Spring/Summer-bearing cultivars produce canes that
are biennial in habit, growing one year and producing the next.
Everbearing (fall-bearing) cultivars produce canes that bear fruit
on the top portion of the current season’s growth in late summer
and fall (usually late August to early October). If you leave these
canes for next year, they will bear fruit on the portions that did not
fruit the previous fall. Therefore this type can produce fruit in
both June-July on the base of last year’s cane and late summer/early
fall on top of current season’s cane. The earlier crop is usually small.
