Design Ideas Plant this tasty berry near a fence, wall or wherever you can provide plenty of support and room for its long, fruit-laden canes. Grow as a freestanding shrub in a large garden bed and stake canes. An ideal and delicious Raspberry to grow for two crops or--if all the canes are cut down in late winter--one, large late crop. Be the only one on your block with fresh raspberries in September!
Flower Color White
Foliage Color Green
Companion Plants Salvia (Salvia); Rosemary (Rosmarinus); Yarrow (Achillea); Russian Sage (Perovskia); Lavender (Lavandula)
CARE
Care Provide fertile, well-drained soil. Water deeply, regularly in first growing season to establish extensive root system. After harvest, prune to ground older canes that have fruited, leaving one-year-old canes to produce next season's crop. Train newer canes on trellis. May be lightly tip-pruned and fertilized in spring.
