Continue to fertilize each year in the spring. Mulch well around each plant to reduce weeds. When planting, dig a hole large enough to accommodate the roots, but leave the crown above the surface. If planted too deep, the roots will rot. If planted too shallow, the plant may not produce fruit.
Raspberries can thrive in a variety of soil conditions, but do require full sun.
Mulch well around each bush to prevent weed growth. Since these berry bushes have thorns and grow long canes, plant away from walkways. When planting, dig a hole larger than the root ball and plant at the same depth as did the nursery. Fill the hole completely with soil then water thoroughly. Raspberry bushes should be pruned annually every spring and also after each harvest.
