The heritage everbearing raspberry grows to a height of 5–6' and a spread of 3–4' at maturity.
Consequently, how do you keep raspberries from spreading?
Use a shovel to dig a trench at least 8 inches deep around the raspberry plants that you want to keep contained and insert a root barrier. Fill the soil in around the barrier, leaving at least a half-inch of the barrier above the soil line so the raspberry plant's roots won't grow over the barrier.
- Raspberries may be planted as bare root or potted plants.
- Choose a well-drained, sunny location with no standing water.
- Space canes 3 feet apart in rows 6 feet apart.
- Plant black and purple varieties 100 feet away from red and yellow varieties.
Herein, how do you take care of heritage raspberries?
Raspberries grow well in cool climates and are pretty easy care and the plants produce reliably for many years. Plant Raspberries in full sun. A humus rich, well drained soil is ideal. Space 150-180cm apart.
How to Plant Raspberries
- Before planting, soak the roots for an hour or two.
- Dig a hole that is roomy enough for the roots to spread.
- Whether you're planting bare-root or potted plants, keep the crown of the plant 1 or 2 inches above the ground.
- Canes should be spaced 18 inches apart, with about four feet between rows.
