Dig a hole at least 6 inches wider than the root spread. 
Spread out the roots and fill in good top soil about 
the roots. After the hole is about half full, work the 
plant up and down slightly (only 1-2 inches) so that the 
soil is worked between all the fine roots. Water thor- 
oughly after planting. 
CURRANTS AND GOOSEBERRIES 
Set 2 or 3 inches deeper than in the nursery. Plant 4-5 
feet apart and cut off half the tops. 
RED AND BLACK RASPBERRIES AND BLACKBERRIES 
Set plants 3-4 feet apart in rows 5-6 feet apart. If you 
are willing to sacrifice a few berries the first year for 
larger crops in future years, it is best to cut back all 
plants to about 12-18 inches. 
BLUEBERRIES 
Set bushes 4-5 feet apart in rows 8-10 feet apart. Mulch 
with 3-4 inches of sawdust or peat moss. Mix peat moss 
into the soil when planting and feed plants with Stern‘s 
Miracid.
