I would love to see these growing guides span more time and techniques for newbies like me-what the plants look like (and should or shouldn’t look like) at different intervals, how to prune, how to harvest, etc. I have raspberries in my new backyard, and I’m wondering if I’m taking care of them correctly, and how I can do better. To me, these videos are more like “initial planting guides.” And if the videos could be a bit more concise and zoom in on more details, that would be great. I do love the channel, though, have learned a lot here, and really appreciate it! Love your knowledge and passion!
Agree
Just fyi, there are other garden channels that do show growth at different intervals etc but a vid like that takes about a year to edit as it would require going through an entire growing season or two…from planting to hopefully, some harvest. If you don’t buy a 3 yr plant, you likely won’t see fruit for 2-3 years. Thus, you won’t see many vids like you want out there. Just jump in, do some research on raspberries and adjust when needed. It’s hard to mess up raspberries so I’m sure you are doing just fine. Don’t let being a newbie overwhelm you. Just Dig in..apply fertilizer, mulch, water, and enjoy the wait. Maybe you could make a vid on what you have done and do clips through the first couple of years and create the kind of vid you want to see for others? Enjoy, whatever ever you decide.
Google works too, could probably find a book recommendation
I was really hoping to be shown how you plant them. Literally from digging the hole to adding compost and fertilizer. That's really what I needed.
Raspberries grow very well in my area, and once the raspberries plants in my backyard started making raspberries, in spring and summer, when I picked them, they grew back within 1-2 days. I think it's a lot better to grow raspberries than buy them, and they are also very easy to grow.
@serendipidus1 bro ur like 2 years late
And they taste unbelievable. My goodness
Central Idaho?
It would also be much cheaper to grow raspberries than to buy them and I bet they taste better and sweeter.
Hi Luke/MI Gardener I just want to let you know that your Channel means a great deal to me. I’m grateful for all of the time and energy you and your team spent on making this channel a success by putting together these awesome videos. When I heard what you recently endured over the last few years through one of your videos, it reminded me of the verses in Romans 5:3-5 I know that through your suffering your patience was tested and despite the grueling experience you haven’t given up hope and love❤
Welp, now I know what I did wrong lol. Several years back I put raspberry and blueberry bushes in full sun alllll day long. Didnt bother to even research. Now I research everything to death and I am much more successful. You guides are an awesome resource. Thanks for all your work and to your wife for her support for you!
To help you from having to fix the soil pH often, you can use tree bark as mulch and over time as it breaks down it will acidify the soil, and also prevent evaporation! also, you could add some peat moss to the soil as that is known for its high Hydrogen cation count (and excellent CEC to boot!). Thanks for the video, I will be tuning in often this year and going through the VODs
It might be useful to mention how the roots behave. They will spread, and you need to keep on top of them. The roots grow horizontally underground and will put up a shoot every few inches, so if you have a healthy plant you may find shoots coming up several feet away from the main plant. Just dig down a few inches and pull out the roots, and you'll see from whence they came. If they are in good shape you can replant them if you like, or give them to friends to plant.
Hi Luke, you said that after the fruit´s picked you should start to prepare raspberry for Winter. You didn´t say what I should do to prepare raspberry for winter. So if it is possible add it, please.
They are resilient plants however we have so much bears its awful
It's on the blackberry video: phosphorus or bone meal.
I got my first thornless raspberry plants this year, and they're currently in pots (because I lack space, and it's convenient if we don't want them to spread like wildfire).
Because they're in pots, I can place them wherever I'm able to, and I figured since wild plants I find out in the woodlands tend to be in shaded, partially shaded and sunny spots, I decided to place my raspberry pots on the Northern side of the house. It keeps them out of the hot sun until at least the afternoon when we do get hot summer days.
I really do appreciate that every time I decide to grow something new you have a comprehensive video on the subject! Thank you for your content, and greetings from Oxford UK 👍😀
I *strongly* recommend the *Joan J* raspberry variety. I grew *Joan J* last year and like it so much that I'm replacing all my other varieties with it. *Joan J* is a thornless variety. I buy my plants from Burpee in the spring, and by July they are loaded with berries. I live in the Seattle area.
I have grown those along with many other over the years. To day I only grow the caroline everbeariing. They can be grown two different ways . As a summer bearing or a fall bearing. Either way you will get berries the first year planting even is the rabbit get at them in winter and eat them down to the ground. It won't matter .you will still produce a patch of great size and taste...Same goes for blackberry varieties . The one that produce berries on last year primocanes . If rabbits or dear eat them up then that year harvest is gone. So try the new varieties that make berries on the same year canes and it won't matter. I had 5 acre patch of berries and lost the whole field a couple times. It was a real hard lesson for me. I almost quit . Unless you devise a way to protect them from nature then consider what I am sharing with you.
We have a massive bramble of wild blackberries in our backyard. I started working to tame it last summer. It runs basically N to S, and is over 6' wide /and/ tall in places. Some of this season's new canes are nearly an inch thick. Because of it's position and width, it is it's own shade for a little under half the day. With virtually no effort put into growing them and just casually picking, we got like 6 lbs. of blackberries. This year, we're going about it in a more structured manner, so hopefully yield will be much higher.
Richard Sabo I planted a raspberry bush and my mom mowed over it and it was pretty much dead for a few years but last year it grew about 7-8' long and 3-4'wide and I had so many raspberries that most of them didn't get picked. It had one of those tomato cages because it kept on falling over and I had multiple stalks grow to be over 1" thick.
Ernie The Cat My husband mowed mine down. I hope they come back like that!!
Thanks for this. I’d love to see pruning techniques for the different types of raspberries - as well as identification of type (how to determine which type of cane you have growing in an existing raspberry patch) to round out the info in this video. Thanks for your growing guides, they are helpful and informative.
Getting ready to start raspberries and blueberries this year for my first time.
Me too!
Me too
What a great video! You're a good teacher who seems to genuinely enjoy the subject. It was a pleasure to watch and learn. Thanks for sharing!
You guys over here babying the raspberries, mine have been growing naturally and slowly taking over my backyard somehow.
Lol mine too! I can’t keep up harvesting them all.
I had rogue raspberry plants growing all around my compost area. I just dug them up and stuck them with the other plants in the garden. Gave them some aged manure, and crossed my fingers
It’s been a couple years since this post, How did they do?
@@Kelly_Mae probably fine? I’m not sure exactly which ones are which but the patch is steadily growing.
I'm trying raspberries for the first time this year! Can't wait, thanks Luke! I have sunshine blue dwarf blueberries and a blackberry bush I grow vertically. I can't wait to be able to buy a house and stick it in the ground to run! Lol Thanks for sharing
God Bless you with a home and land to grow your own food.
Thank you! You are my go to for garden help! ❤❤❤ I found a raspberry on a property we were working at and I grabbed a cane and planted it. It is happy and so am i 😂. I wish I knew the variety! It has the sweetest most delicious berries I have ever tasted! It's like dessert!!🎉🎉🎉
Luke, I have to thank you. You have taught me (and others!) so much about gardening, and I'm so grateful for your videos and hard work. I decided to try my hand at growing raspberries in containers this year, and when I went to look or "Growing Raspberry Plants", yours is the second video that popped up. Is there any plant that you haven't taught the world to grow? I'm so grateful for your advice and knowledge, and I'm excited to grow this year!
Lol, Luke! "Bologna sandwiches all around!"😂 So awesome!
Thanks for another great growing guide! We're getting new raspberries this year, I had to pull the old ones, this advice is so timely! Thank you!😊
Would have liked it if you talked about pruning after winter before bud break. Good video though
I just realized that I have a raspberry tree growing in my backyard and I just realize that till today am i blind or what they are my favorite fruit and they're delicious yum yum yum
Probably a mulberry tree but delicious 😋
Monica Silva I want this privilege for my life
I have the hardest time growing raspberries out of everything I got. But once I do get them, they're my favorite fruit.
Dude you talk too much, just cut to the chase.
There is also a hybrid purple raspberry that is a cross between black & red types. These purple hybrids are double the size of the black jewel variety & also about 50% larger than most red types. No free lunch however as the canes are also larger & take a bit more space per plant than the red & black types.
I hope this is of some interest.
Boysenberries!!! Knotts Berry Farm started this variety and I just planted a Boysenberry plant. Can't wait!!
I know this is old but I purchased mine around 2 years ago as well just curious to see how large yours got !
We live in Tucson Az and our soil is extremely alkaline. I removed tons of soil and purchased compost material. Some of my fruit trees struggle because of my ph level. Thanks for confirming.
Hey Luke, I just ordered some Killarney Red Raspberries and I have never cared for any in the past. I am reading so many different things on planting and pruning of these!! Some say when you plant them to cut them just 2 inches from the ground (they say this is a must) and others say do not do this. When pruning some say take out only the 2 year old stalks and others say to mow everything down to the ground every year!!! I know this is an old video, hopefully you still see this and answer my questions. Thank you.
I found this very interesting. My husband and I are learned-gardeners. Meaning we grow and learn as we grow. 🥴
We have been growing red raspberries and blackberries for approximately 6-7 years.
Ours are next to our garden in full sun. We have not had any problems....except now that I’ve seen your video, the red raspberries are thinning out over the years and being replaced by more blackberries.
I’m wondering if this is because of the heat. We get great berries when we do harvest, if the birds don’t get them first. We have been transplanting the new growths in places where some die out just to keep more red raspberries coming year to year.
Do you think this is a sun issue or maybe a berry competition thing going on?
Maybe we can build a sun shelter and see if that helps.
Thanks for sharing! We are learning many things!
It's great to see that you now have OVER 1 million subscribers...I've been following you for years.
Hi. Thanks for sharing. Please tell us how they grow and when they fruit, how to tame them and when to cut them down. Thanks.
Dude i love your channel You're the ultimate gardening nerd! Thanks for the info!
I cannot believe all the colors of raspberries and SEASONS! blows my mind.
"Bologna sandwiches all around" I love it!
I'm so excited to have my own black berry and raspberry bush.
In my old neighborhood in this woodsy area near it I found a huge thicket of raspberries, blackberries, and sand plums and I'd go in during the summer and eat a bunch feeling like I found my own little secret. But now weve moved and theres nothing cool here.
I'll just grow it myself!
I'm so glad to know about the lighting they prefer! I've got the perfect spot!
Could hear you great. Thanks for the information about raspberries. I used to think they did not need any attention.
I love raspberries, sweetest fruit ever
Our raspberries definitely thrive in the clay! ☺️
My parent always planted things. We had a huge raspberry bush. Now watching it I realize how I don't know the basics. I will have to rewatch it a few times.
You guys are the best, and my go-to to any growing i do. Thanks for your grow guides and knowledge! So helpful!
“baloney sandwiches all around”- Luke
That killed me 😂😂
💀R.I.P Harper Dron, I’m on the run.
It was the best
Even though I've been growing raspberries for many years there is always more for me to learn, today I learned that the silvery colored areas on some of the fruit is 'sunscald' ,and that dried up raspberries mean not having enough water! My raspberries get the full morning sun and some early afternoon sun, but the rest of the day it is filtered or fully shaded.
I was just gifted (in September) a whole bunch of raspberry canes. Mature and not dormant yet, but now bare root. No idea what variety. I need to know if I put them in the ground now or let them go dormant and plant in spring.
Thank you for this videoo. The nursery salesperson told us to plant our red raspberry bush about 1" above the soil. It is pretty established at about 4' tall already. He also mentioned not to water directly on the base but to create a dirt concaved ring and water in the ring around the base of the plant. Thoughts?
This is interesting. I live in Oklahoma and I have a raspberry plant at my parents house. It gets full sun, isnt watered that much, and it does pretty good. 🤔
Bologna sandwiches all round! 😂
Hi, I enjoyed both the Raspberry and the Blackberry video.
Can you please now make a video each about Boysenberries and Loganberries? Otherwise I will never know how to grow these.
Thanks mate. Cheers.
Raspberries are my absolute favorite!!! Right after pizza
hagenoft i didnt know you could grow pizza
+TheSkullBoy5 You can, but it's not as easy to grow as this: ruclips.net/video/tVo_wkxH9dU/видео.html
Hahaha yes!
hagenoft e
hagenoft hmm we might be related. Lol
bologna, bologna sandwiches all around. Good choice of words
MrCowtocow I want a balonga sandwich now.
MrCowtocow fried bologna biscuit with cheese and mustard
can i haz bologna sanwich
How many bologna sandwiches are we supposed to bury with the roots?
Rob Anderson -
HAHAHA!!!! You are HILARIOUS. Best comment I’ve seen in a while. Don’t know why this comment doesn’t have thousands of likes. Love it. Haha
Hey Luke.
I read some but not all the comments so sorry if yhis is repetitive.
I've heard and read in several places that blackberries should be planted away from other berry types as they are more prone to diseases and can spread them.
What are your thoughts on that seeing that you plant raspberries and blackberries in the same bed?
Thanks!
I didn't hear you mention what you do for preparing them for winter after last fruit is picked.. you said to prepare them but can u please tell us how.. thanks
Thanks for the video, I learned a lot! For some reason I thought they needed full sun all day.
Thank-you for the great info. What kind of pests should I expect and how to control them? I'm a newbie.
Can you do a complete growing guide for blueberries??? Love the vid btw 😍
You didn't talk about supports. My parents put in a line of wire fencing and continually tied the brambles to it. I just found some raspberries on my property (moved in a month ago) and am excited to find a better place for them. They're underneath some trees right now in a place where it's hard to get to them. Thanks for your guide!
Great guide! I just planted a barefoot raspberry and before I could put a cage around it, my youngest walked over it and snapped it like a twig! 😫 Do you think it will survive? Thanks!
It should sprout back at the base of the plant yes.
Fun and awesome. Really enjoying your videos in SW Michigan❤️God Bless and thanks for all you’re posting
What soil do you use to grow all the raspberries nd what fertilizer do you use for them and are they cold hardy and what compost and how many times do you need to water?
love your video on growing raspberries, nice details
Yay! Thanks for another complete growing guide! :)
👍
1st year Caroline planter here. I wanted to see how you or if you trellis 1st year shoots and at what length. They are now well above my 30 inch cages and want to prepare them for winter.
I love Espoma soil acidifyer for all my berries. I also just moved my raspberries to a bed up by my house where they will get a sunny morning and a shady afternoon.
👍
Great info, didn't know the full sun of only 4-5 hours but makes sense as this is they way they grow wild in the forested sections up here in Algonquin Park. Cheers and Peace Out
Thank you. Blessings from Australia.
Luke, I didn't catch when to prune The raspberries?Mine are everbearing.
Thank you for all your knowledge and information. It is very helpful to look back at your videos when working in the garden. My everbearing have just now stopped. I am wondering whether to prune them in the spring or fall? Also as it is quite cold now should I still give them the sulfur; and what kind?
My raspberry patch is massive. They grow like weeds. I have them bordering the alleyway on one side to contain them and
Sounds good. I def want to grow blackberries!! Thanks
thanks for all the info. trying to find a good spot for raspberries at our new house and your info narrowed it down for us. we grew raspberries at our old house ... until our neighbours sprayed Roundup on a few suckers we didn't know about. live + learn to keep suckers under control. do the thornless varieties do well against birds? the birds never went near our old plants.
This is a very good video thank you for helping me plant rasberries
I love raspberries
Hi! Reading about the specific varietis i have because the canes fruiting confused me. One of them is a floricane while the other is primocane. This is wild!
I’m a very new Gardener myself and I planted last year some canes I thought they died but have sprouted up!! And now im wondering how to prune then correctly. Do u cut them down to the base?
i love your celan comments like th Baloney sandwiches, the way you present everything is so nice we just keep watching all of your videos, thanks
*clean
Just keep in mind where raspberries grow in the wild. In the woods on the verge of the forest, so partial sun, and ideally in dells or near streams. Though they will grow on slopes.
wow, i had no idea there were other colors of raspberries 😲 thank you for sharing!
Hi, I love your growing guides! I've been looking for a good growing guide on grapes (directed at zone 5 & 6) with little luck. I was hoping to find one on your channel, but can't seem to find one here either. Am I missing it or do you think you'll make one soon? I just put my first intentional grape vine (lots of wild Fox River grapes pop up but never amount to much) in the ground in April and am hoping to do well with them. Any tips appreciated. Thanks!
Can you please do boysenberries? Thank you
Would 2 hours of strong morning sun be sufficient? We have an east wall that gets about 2 hours of solid morning sun in Northern California, Alameda County. It’s size , span I think is ideal...any thoughts?
Luke, isn't it a good idea to stake or weave your raspberry plants to fencing? Also, which raspberries grow only on new growth?
I have a raspberry plant in a container. Do I need to put some kind of support (bamboo sticks, wire, etc.)for it to grow or let it be as it is?
My black raspberries, Haut variety and Jewel produce berries on the canes that grew the previous year. My red Caroline red raspberries will produce on last year's growth and this years growth. I don't bother with last year's growth and cut down all the canes in early spring and let the new canes grow.
The weeds growing in the bed behind the old wood, are plantain, good for wound care !
Mine had cane borers in them, and I live on the East Coast! The local government agriculturalist hadn't even heard of cane borers before I brought it to his attention that's what I thought I had in my raspberries. Had about 45 raspberry plants in two gallon containers in front yard. They were doing great the first and second years, until cane borers hit late in the second season. Third season was a crash landing. I've kept them for season 4. About five plants grew some fruit early in Spring and now again in Summer there is a few raspberries that make it---but still pretty much a bust. Most raspberries go brown and dry out right as they look like they are about to get mature and plump. I started to notice they needed some shade this year, and you seem to agree they need filtered sunshine---so that's agreement there. A lady in British Columbia on RUclips said the only thing to do was destroy them. I'm coming to that conclusion myself. The weird thing is I've never spotted the actual beetle in three seasons of growing almost! Looks like I may need to build a high tunnel or net off an area to keep pests from getting to my raspberries. What are your thoughts on this?
Sad! 😢
Can you make a video about dingle berries?
love your video, very informative and detailed.
Thank you. Wonderful advice!
Can you talk about planting bare-root raspberries when they're going into dormancy? Do they need more phosphorus when planted in the fall, as opposed to more nitrogen when planted in the spring?
What growing zone are you in? I'm in zone 9. It gets really hot here. I've already lost two plants. At first it seemed I was watering too much and then too little. All the leaves dried up.
I transplanted some wild raspberries a couple years ago. I planted them under a large maple tree in a mound of mixed soil that I constantly take the twigs that fall from the maple and break them up onto the soil. They multiplied and filled the area in no time. This year they are going crazy. I just have to fight the blackbirds for them.
"Baloney! Baloney sandwiches all around!" My teenage daughter loved that so much.
Late for the show, but looked up. I have 2 raspberry plants I am planting in 15 gallon Root bags. So I appreciate the info and looking forward to my first crop this season. They are Brandy wine variety, summer bearing. So should I cut them back after production? Do I bring them inside the garage after priduction and let them go dormat until next spring? Or cut back and leave outside until first frost and then bring them inside to the unheated garage to over winter?
I imagine you could have just wrote blackberries and raspberries in the title and you wouldn't have to make 2 videos
But the $$$ lol
No

Hi Luke thanks for the information my wife and I love your channel! Our raspberries are struggling what could it be? The leave started to yellow and then drying out! We have them in 30 gallon planters. We try to water every day a little bit since we live in NM, and scared of them drying out. Could it be over watering, or is it more likely a PH issue?
Since they only set fruit on new growth, do you prune them down during winter/fall/spring ? Ours don’t really go completely dormant during the winter, since we are in grow zone 10b. So far I haven’t pruned them, since I wasn’t sure if they can handle it when not dormant or if it’s needed
The same Q as Kenny McAll did after the last fruit is picked at end of the season you did not say how to prepare for winter. Thanks.
I was hoping you did an actual planting demo...tips were ok though...got to go check another video now...
You maybe could have explained the different types raspberries because one type bears on the second year's canes (fall bearing) and the other on this year's canes (summer bearing). They have to be pruned differently also. There are many varieties of each for different climates, colors, and flavors. Also some are great for freezing others for jam/jellies while another will be awesome fresh. Black and purple raspberries are the highest in antioxidants while a couple yellows are rated best for fresh flavor, though the unlearned may assume the pale yellow color indicates a sickly plant‼️ 😊👍🍓🍇🍒
Yeah not all, and I'm pretty sure most, including wild, raspberries fruit on 2nd yr canes
Bookmarked for later. Enjoy you sharing your knowledge.
Bologna...bologna sandwiches all around
You can tell he's from Michigan...I'm guessing homemade ground pickled bologna sandwiches
Classic rock Lover the Michigan accent is strong in this one
can you make a video on growing raspberries from seed? there are no good ones on youtube.
