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.
