Raspberries

Choosing the Right Raspberries

Raspberries are perennial-rooted cane fruits that renew their fruiting wood every year. Variety choice affects color, flavor, trellis needs, pruning method, disease pressure, and whether you harvest in summer, fall, or both.

Plant in full sun with well-drained soil, strong airflow, and a plan for cane removal. Wet feet and crowded rows are the fastest route to weak plants.
