common raspberry · Rubus idaeus
Also known as: European raspberry; frambois; framboise; framboys; garden raspberry; hindberry; hineberry; red raspberry; wild raspberry
Red raspberry thrive in well-drained, fertile soils with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5, and require full sun exposure for optimal fruit production. Special care points include regular pruning to promote healthy growth and fruit yield, and providing support structures like trellises for their canes. Additionally, mulching helps to retain soil moisture and fight off weeds. These practices contribute to red raspberry's reputation as an easy to care for plant given their straightforward maintenance needs.
