Garden Club Raspberries Raspberries are available in red, black, gold, or purple varieties and as Summer or Fall-bearing types.
Raspberries do best in any well-drained soil that is high in organic matter.
They do best if planted in the Spring and are available potted or as bare root plants. Keep roots moist and do not let them dry in the air before planting. Raspberry canes live two years. Prune out older canes after fruiting. Limit new growth of canes to avoid overcrowding.
