Raspberry
Rubus idaeus
Black, red, purple, yellow, everbearing and summerbearing raspberries
Plant 10-20 foot of row or more. Enjoy fruit from the this summer and from the others starting next year. Includes Boysenberry and Jewel Black, Royalty Purple or the wild Thimbleberry.
Useful Facts
Pollination: Self-pollinating.
Size at maturity: 4-6 ft.
Hardiness: Hardy to at least -20 F, depending on variety. Everbearers are hardy in most of the nation if cut to the ground each fall and mulched.
Sun or shade: Full sun.
Spacing: 20" between plants in rows 5 feet apart.
Propagation: Cutting or digging up plants that come up from the roots outside of the established rows.
Fruitful life: Replace every 10-15 years as they decline in productivity.
Bearing age: 1-2 years.
Yield: 2 pounds per foot of row.
How to Grow
Soil requirements: Lots of organic matter and good drainage. They cannot take wet feet. If you have wet ground, plant them on a mound, 18" above the water table.
Cultural requirements: Plant with well rotted manure and fertilize the following spring with more manure. Provide adequate moisture during the growing season.
Pruning July bearers: These include Tulameen, Meeker, Cascade Delight and Saanich. Prune out second year canes in the fall after they are through fruiting. Dont prune out new shoots.
Pruning "Everbearers": Caroline, Anne, Polka, Rosanne, Autumn Brittan and Summit can bear on one and two year old wood. Prune or mow the canes each winter to get a free standing fall crop each year without using a trellis. Or trellis as you would with the July bearers and you will get a fall crop on the first year wood (primocanes) and also a crop the following summer before you remove the canes.
How to Use
In the landscape: Use for hedges or fence rows. The colorful berries beautify your landscape and fruit salads.
In the kitchen: Eat fresh or use in pies, tarts, jams, jellies or vinegars. Rosanna has a unique incredibly sweet flavor like Raspberry candy.
