How to Grow Bare-Rooted Heritage Raspberry
Planting:
- Space plants 45–60 cm (18–24 inches) apart in rows 1.5–2 m apart.
- Water well and mulch generously after planting.
Soil & Care:
- Prefers fertile, well-drained, slightly acidic soil rich in organic matter.
- Full sun (at least 6 hours) for best yields.
- Water regularly during dry periods, especially in the first year.
- Support canes with wires or a trellis as they grow.
Growth & Harvest:
- Height: 1.5–2 metres (with support)
- Fruiting: Summer (lighter crop) + heavy main crop in autumn
- Harvest: Pick when fully coloured and sweet. Autumn crop often continues until first frosts.
- Pruning: For everbearing, you can mow or cut all canes to the ground in late winter for a single large autumn crop, or maintain some canes for the double crop system.
Note: These are young canes. They will establish strongly in spring.
