GROWING RASPBERRIES 



Raspberries give best results in areas where 

 the summers are not usually hot or dr\-'. There- 

 fore 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 

 application of about 450 pounds per acre of 

 10-10-10 fertilizer is important. This is equiva- 

 lent 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 will pro- 

 duce a crop about 15 months after planting. 

 The canes are tied to wires or to posts, de- 

 pending upon the planting system. After 

 the first fruiting season the fruiting canes of 

 regular red and black raspberries are pruned 

 out — lea%'ing the new canes which will bear 

 fruit the next season. In the case of ever- 

 bearing raspberries the canes wliich produced 

 the fall crop should not be pruned out but 

 onh' slightly cut back in the spring. For best 

 results with raspberries a recommended spray 

 program for control of diseases and insects 

 is necessarv.
