Black Raspberries 
The preparation of soil and fertilizer used is the same as for 
Red Raspberries. Plant Black Raspberries in rows 7 feet apart, 
setting plants 4 feet apart in the rows.. When planted at the given 
distances it will require 1,555 plants to set an acre. 
When new growth starts and has attained a height of 18 to 24 
inches, it is best to pinch the tips of the canes which causes each 
cane to throw off branches and grow upright. 
The spring following planting cut branches of each cane back to 
about 8 inches. After the plants have fruited, cut out all the old 
fruiting canes and burn them, thus giving new canes a chance to 
develop and produce a heavy crop of berries the next year. Culti¬ 
vate raspberries shallow during the entire season. This is not out 
of order during the period of harvesting the fruit. As a matter of 
fact it is a decided advantage if weather conditions are dry during 
the fruiting season, because cultivation always brings up moisture 
and moisture gives you larger berries.
