Raspberry Growing Guide
- Most types of raspberries are hardy in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 2 to 10.
- Select a site with plenty of sun exposure but some afternoon shade. Provide raspberries with well-drained, nutritionally dense soil. If your garden has compacted or clay-like earth, dig compost into the top 2 feet at I pound per square foot.
- Inspect the raspberry bush and use sharp garden shears to cut off any damaged roots. Dig a shallow trench for the plant. Place the bush in the trench and fan out its roots, keeping the primary roots, or the roots at the base of the root cluster, no more than 2 inches underground. Gently pack soil around the base of the bush. Plant raspberries either in the late fall or early spring.
- Water the raspberry thoroughly. Prune the bush so that the canes are no more than 6 inches long. Leave 2 to 3 feet between plants and 8 to 10 feet between rows.
- Water your raspberry twice a week during the summer months to keep the soil moist. Water the bush at its base, as spraying the leaves and fruit may cause then1 to rot. Irrigate the plant daily if the weather is hot and dry. Decrease watering to once a week during the fall.
- Fertilize the raspberry in the early spring. Use an inorganic fertilizer such as 20-20-20 or an an1monium sulfate solution, according to the University of California. Apply the fertilizer at a rate of 4 to 6 pounds per 100 feet of row. When the canes start to bloom, spread bone, feather, or fish meal over the surface of the soil at a rate of 3 to 6 pounds per 100 feet.
