Planting & Care

Plant in early spring (or late winter in warm climates) in soil amended with compost or aged manure. Space multiple plants approximately 3 feet apart and 8 feet between rows if creating a hedgerow. Choose a location receiving full sun and water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture. Provide support with a trellis or fence early in growth if desired. Keep red and black raspberry varieties at least 100 feet apart to prevent cross-pollination.
