Cane berries prefer a deep, well-drained, fertile soil and typically bear fruit on 2-year-old wood (floricanes) with everbearers producing on first-year wood (primocanes). They thrive in most soil types. Cane berries are versatile and hardy in the coldest climates where other fruits fail. Plant late winter to early spring. Space 3-4' in a row with 6-8’ between rows.

Note: Red raspberries must be more than 300' from WILD blackberries, as the wild blackberries can carry some diseases that insects can transmit to the red raspberries if they are close enough, causing the red raspberries to have poor or no fruit.
