Raspberries are one of the bramble fruits grown in Nebraska.
They are grown primarily by the home gardener in Nebraska and used fresh, frozen or in jams and jellies. The red, yellow, black and purple raspberry types are grown in eastern Nebraska, while the red types are primarily grown in the west. A wide range of soil types are satisfactory for growing raspberries. Select a planting site with full sunlight. Good air drainage is important in reducing damage from spring frosts, winter injury and diseases.
