Red Raspberries

Choosing the Right Red Raspberries

Red raspberries are the classic garden raspberry, with varieties that can fruit in summer, fall, or both depending on cane habit. Matching pruning method to variety is the key to keeping them productive.

Plant in full sun with well-drained soil and a tidy row system. Remove spent canes and thin new canes so light reaches the fruiting wood.
