GROWING RASPBERRIES 



Raspberries give best results in areas where the 

 summers are not usually hot or d^J^ Therefore 

 they are not generally grown south of Tennessee 

 and Missouri. A good, fertile soil that retains 

 moisture but is still not poorly drained gives best 

 results. Raspberries should be planted in earh' 

 spring for best results. If possible a high amount 

 of well rotted manure should be mixed into the 

 soil before planting. Also a regular spring appli- 

 cation of about 450 pounds per acre of 10-10-10 

 fertilizer is important. This is equivalent to 

 about 6 ounces per plant. In small plantings the 

 rows are usually 6 feet apart with 4 feet between 



plants. Raspberries are generally planted in 

 early spring and \vi\\ produce a crop about 15 

 months after planting. The canes are tied to 

 wires or to posts, depending upon the planting 

 SA'stem. After the first fruiting season the fruit- 

 ing canes of regular red and black raspberries are 

 pruned out — leaving the new canes which will 

 bear fruit the next season. In the case of ever- 

 bearing raspberries the canes which produced the 

 fall crop should not be pruned out but only 

 slightly cut back in the spring. For best results 

 with raspberries a recommended spray program 

 for control of diseases and insects is necessary.
