Fertilizing

Berry fruit fertilizer twice yearly spring and pre-fruit

Pruning

Prune as for summer-fruiting raspberries, removing all fruited canes down to ground level in early to mid autumn. Train in new growth

Propagation

Propagate by division in the dormant season. Lift new canes along with their rootballs. Choose only newly planted, disease-free stock from which to propagate

Growing

Grow raspberries in rows between parallel wires for support. Mulch with acidic material such as composted bark. May have the potential to become a nuisance if not managed well. See raspberry cultivation
