The second type are day neutral, which means they are not dependant upon day length and produce at six-week intervals throughout the summer. These are best for some of the container planters like barrels and strawberry pots. The third type are everbearing which sporadically produce through the summer. These are the least productive. Selective pruning must be done to keep the bushes in their designated areas and to enhance fruiting.

Raspberries, blackberries, and gooseberries are often thorny and thornless varieties are recommended. The everbearing red raspberry, Heritage, is especially suited to low maintenance gardening because it produces a fall crop on current season growth. This means that the entire patch can be cut to the ground each fall after harvest and the new canes that grow the next spring will yield that fall. Generally grown in traditional ground level beds, all of these fruit give limited production in large containers. Grape vines are usually trained to wires similar to espaliered fruit trees.
