Planting & Care Guide

• Best Planting Time: Plant between late autumn and early spring while dormant, or anytime during the growing season if kept well-watered.
• Location: Choose a sunny or lightly shaded spot with fertile, well-drained soil. Raspberries prefer slightly acidic to neutral pH (5.5–6.5).
• Cane Support: Provide support such as wires or posts to keep canes upright and fruit accessible.
• Watering: Water regularly during dry spells—especially when fruits are forming.
• Pruning: Prune summer-fruiting varieties after harvest by removing old canes; cut back autumn-fruiting types to ground level each winter.
• Feeding: Mulch annually with well-rotted manure or compost in early spring for best results.

Garden Uses & Design Ideas

• Kitchens & Edible Borders: Plant alongside blackcurrants or gooseberries for a productive soft fruit patch.
• Pots & Containers: Compact enough for large patio planters—just ensure good drainage.
• Cottage Gardens: Blend with perennial herbs like chives or mint for a classic look and pollinator appeal.
