About Raspberry — Summer-fruiting (Floricane)
Summer-fruiting raspberries carry their crop on canes grown the previous year, which is the single fact that governs how they are pruned: cutting everything down in winter removes the entire coming crop. Autumn-fruiting kinds behave differently, fruiting on the current season's growth. Raspberries spread by suckering from the roots and will steadily migrate across a bed. The fruit separates from its core when picked, leaving a hollow centre — the botanical distinction from blackberries, where the core comes away with the fruit. They are woodland-edge plants by origin and appreciate cool, moist root conditions.
Growing notes
- Prune out fruited canes immediately after harvest, leaving new green canes for next year's crop
- Spreads vigorously by suckers — site within a contained bed
