Care Information

Planting Advice for Raspberries:

  • Plant raspberries roughly 50cm apart in rows, along walls or fences or in beds where further support from posts can be used.
  • They can also be grown in large pots (40cm+ diameter) on your patio, balcony, terrace and more.
  • Select an appropriate spot for your plants, making sure that you give them enough space to grow to their full size.
  • For best results, plant in a sunny but sheltered position.
  • Soak canes in water for a couple of hours before planting to wake them up from dormancy.
  • Dig a hole with enough room for the roots to spread. If you’re planting multiple bushes, it’s easiest to dig a trench.
  • Whether you’re planting bare-root or potted plants, keep the crown of the plant 1 or 2 inches above the ground - raspberries hate to be buried too deeply.
  • Fork over the bottom to loosen the soil and add some good quality fertiliser such as Blood Fish & Bone.
  • Holding the plant upright in position with one hand, slowly backfill the hole with soil, and gently shake the plant, so the soil falls back around the roots.
  • Firm in and water well.

Aftercare Advice for your raspberries:

  • A thick mulch will conserve moisture and suffocate weeds. Keep a thick layer of mulch around the plants at all times.
  • Water daily from spring until after harvest. Regular watering is better than infrequent deep soaking.
  • Remove any suckers (canes that grow well away from the rows) to prevent them taking valuable nutrients away from the main plant.
  • Cut down any raspberry canes that have already fruited in November, leaving long canes for the following year's bigger crops.
  • Summer-fruiting varieties crop in July on last year's growth
