Raspberry canes come in both primocane and floricane varieties. Primocaine varieties produce fruit in their first year of growth, while floricane varieties produce fruit from their second onwards.
Before planting, it is important to ensure the ground is as free of perennial weeds as possible. The incorporation of well-rotted organic matter into the soil a few weeks before planting will be beneficial, as will the application of a good quality, granular, general-purpose fertiliser immediately prior to planting.
Raspberries are usually grown in upright rows, ideally running north-south for uniform light distribution and with a post-and-wire support system. They do best in a light to medium loam that is deep, well-drained, and slightly acidic (pH 6 to 6.5). A sunny, sheltered position is ideal, but raspberries will also tolerate partial shade.
