Learn how to grow a raspberry plant step-by-step—planting, care through the season, and harvest—your complete guide to growing raspberries!
Growing your own sweet and juicy wild raspberries is a simple and rewarding activity. These shrubs require the same conditions as other fruiting plants, including plenty of water and sunlight along with good air circulation and drainage. Raspberries, despite their name, are not berries.
Spring is the best time to plant your strawberries. If you are planting bare roots, put them in the ground one month before your last frost. If your raspberry plants are already leafing out, wait until they aren’t in danger of getting frozen. Dig a hole big enough for the roots of your plant.
