Care Guide

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
