GROWING RASPBERRIES 



Raspberries give best results in areas 

 where the summers are not unusually hot or 

 dry. 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. Rasp- 

 berries may be set in the fall but early spring 

 is the best planting time. If possible a high 

 amount of well rotted manure should be mix- 

 ed into the soil before planting. Also a regu- 

 lar spring application 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. Rasp- 



berries are generally planted in early spring 

 and will produce a crop about 15 months af- 

 ter planting. The canes are tied to wires or 

 to posts, depending upon the planting system. 

 After the first fruiting season the fruiting 

 canes of regular red and black raspl>erries 

 are pruned out — leaving the new canes 

 which will bear fruit the next season. In the 

 case of everbearing raspberries the cane.s 

 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 

 disoa.-es and insects is necessary. It is very 

 important to use g(M?d planting stock.
