![How to Start Growing Raspberries [Compilation]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/0YYir4xHCQg/mqdefault.jpg)
Yes, I would like to learn how to set up an irrigation system and learn how to care for all berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries).
Thank for the +1 Helen! I might make that video soon!
Me too please
I appreciate how thorough you are
Thanks
Thank you Peter! I do try to get all the info in there. I know how much of a bummer it is to watch a 10 minute video and not get that ONE QUESTION answered. ;-)
My berries are in 12 and 15 gal. plastic pots. An inch of water per week works out to ~12 minutes using 4 GPH emitters. My crop is mixed berries. Am I better off watering 2 minutes every day, 4 minutes every other day, or 6 minutes twice a week?
Yes… more videos about raspberries!! This video has been such a big help, and I look forward to more (caring for them, irrigation, trellising, etc). You are very knowledgeable!
You're so kind Julie! Thanks for the +1!
Finally! A raspberry video that actually helped me. Thank you! It’s my first year planting
Good lord that highway noise 😖 I wish you were here on my farm . Pure peace and quiet . 😊
Wow! What a great video! Lots of great info packed into 11 minutes! Thank you! Subscribed!!🎉🎉
Oh thank you Linda! That's the very best compliment I can get! I watch a lot of RUclips videos and I HATE videos that just go on and on with no real info!
This video was clear, concise and thorough. I"m a new home yard gardener; I'm subscribing and look forward to learning from you!
That was awesome and very informative! I’ve made a few tutorial videos and I bet this one was a lot of work. Thank you!
Just came across your channel today, good stuff. I'm starting a strawberry and raspberry patch this weekend. Your advice and videos are great
How’d it go? My two raised beds for strawberries and raspberries arrive tomorrow!
Very well done. Thank You. I live in Northern Ontario. They grow wild in the bush , I'll transplant some in a couple of weeks. Still a bit of snow this week.
How did this go Harvey? I've never tried transplanting wild raspberries!
I'm planting my first raspberry plants this year. They are transplants from a coworker. Your videos are so helpful. I'd love to see how you set up your irrigation system.
I have them in a soil with other plants nearby, flowers, trees. They grow nicely, slowly. Yes, fixing them is good. They are heavy. I am happy with a small harvest.
I just bought 2 varieties of plants about 1' tall from Home Depot. This is my first time growing these !
perfectly explained. straight to the point. thumbs up;-)
Good information 👍
Another great vid! Thanks so much for sharing. I'd love to hear more about how you design and set up your irrigation system. I'm in Ky, Zone 6 and have had success with early brambles but the fall fruits develop drosophila flies. Not only do the flies get into the berries but if I bring the berries into the house I have flies in the house, too. Yuk. You are so right - if you plant 3 plants this year, you'll have a whole row in 3 years with plenty of suckers to share with neighbors.
Oh, Tooshie! How are you? :-) Yes I have issues with ants later in the season on my blackberries. I don't know how they know, but they will crawl 5 feet into the air to get to the TWO MOST SUCCULENT berries. 🤷♀️
Definitely could use some information on pruning and maintenance. please do another video
Yes please I would love a second video!
Thanks for the +1! :)
I love raspberries and blackberries, I have 6 varieties of raspberries and 2 varieties of thornless blackberries, Navajo & Arapaho.
I planted 6 of each variety, the raspberries I have are Tulameen & Prelude reds, Double Gold & Honey Queen yellows, Brandywine purple, and Bristol black raspberry
Thank for sharing information for us ❤❤❤
My pleasure!
Great video. I have a wild variety on my garden but I haven’t been able to correctly identify it. On my return, I plan to add thornless varieties.
Carlos, so sorry, I think I missed this comment! To your statement, though, YES MORE RASPBERRIES ARE ALWAYS BETTER! 😃
Excellent advice!
Planted 3 FallRed everbearing raspberry plants 4 years ago, and now have a full 10’ row of luscious red raspberry plants. The roots are so prolific!! I have to sever roots with a shovel around the perimeter of the bed every year because the roots are so invasive-I found them creeping 6 feet from the bed one year! Just planted yellow Anne everbearing raspberry last year, and what a flavor difference! I don’t know where these have been all my life. Raspberries have been our favorite addition to the garden.
Both have small thorns however, but are no problem (and no bleeding) with garden gloves. Picking raspberries doesn’t require gloves because berries aren’t near the heavier thorns on the thicker stems. Gloves are needed when trimming the older stems that have already fruited.
Wow! 3 plants turned into 10 feet?! I was worried I was underplanting, too. That's good to know! And I'll have to try the yellow Anne variety. There's always room to squeeze more plants in! 😈
After a year, and after adding mulch, I find I don’t need irrigation any more, and the brambles are still loaded with fruit.
I only purchased ONE Anne raspberry plant 😊, because I now know how prolific these roots are. (I’m a patient girl). I know I’ll have plenty more in no time.
New York Zone 7a.
Oh you must be near me on Long Island! There is not too many zone 7a'ers here in New York state. 😊
Westchester County. 😊
@@jclout8028 Why hello neighbor! :-D
Yes I wanna learn how & what to prune & raspberry bed maintenance ❤
Nice job on the vid
Nice video
I have 5 raspberry and 5 blackberry plants coming in 2 weeks. I went with the Polana and Chester varieties. This is one of my first ventures in gardening and I can't wait to see how it goes. My 3 in 1 pH reader is coming today, which will help me choose exactly where I want to plant them and what amendments I need to make to the soil. I cannot wait to harvest these berries from my yard with my sons. Thank you for the tips! I would love to see videos about composting - how to do it, when to buy it instead.
Compost is super easy! You can just make a pile somewhere in the corner of your yard. That's what I did for many years. Leaves, weeds, kitchen waste, roots, whatever you got. You don't even have to turn it. Eventually nature will take its course and the stuff at the bottom will be beautiful black gold. The only reason I made a compost bin is because I wanted to make a taller pile! 🤣
Great video !!! And you are beautiful !!! Thank you from Alabama
Thanks miss
I am always so excited to see your videos pop up!!! April, you do a fine job of teaching gardening. We currently live in a rental but would love to have raspberries. Could we keep up potting the raspberries? Two of my children enjoy raspberries and we purchase them weekly so I know it would cost savings. Before I think of purchasing raspberries I would love to know how to take care of them. Thank you for your help. Have a great week. Happy Valentine's Day!
Oh Donna! Hello! How are you doing? :-) I haven't done it myself but I know that raspberries can be planted in containers. I would definitely encourage you to move to container gardening if you're in a rental and that way you can take it all with you. It takes a little more time to keep everything watered and sometimes landlords are a little weird about lots of plants outside. As with most things rental related, if you keep it tidy and attractive and don't cause anyone to complain the landlords will usually leave you alone.
How deep did you dig the hole for the posts? Did you buy the tea trellis already put together? What did you use to dig the hole? Did you put any concrete in the base?
I planted one raspberry plant last summer. It didn't take long to realize it needed a trellis. I avoided anything metal because it is in full sun. I have an old wooden ladder that I want to use for something - would it work as a trellis for this rasperry bush?
Thanks for the excellent video!
A caring for raspberries video would be very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for the +1 Sara!
They Are So tuff. They spread all over and all u do is cut off the dead canes and prune down the new canes a bit. Keep the weeds away. Grass is my worst weed. I never remove it but u should.
Thank you
I would love a video about drip irrigation
Subbed. Would love more raspberry content
Thank you for the feedback!
Loved your Video 💟
A new Subscriber here 👍
What would a good cover crop be for raspberries?
any recommendation were to get the sweetest raspberry plants to plant just outside Kansas City ?
If i plant allysum or strawberry as cover crop, can that work? How close should i plant them? Thank youuuuu
The ones I get to eat 😊
Great info, could you please link where you got your summer flip flops? Bring on second video!
Oooh too funny! Love those sandals! You can wash them and they stay on your feet. And they're super comfy because believe it or not, they're Crocs! amzn.to/3XFqLfs
I have about 20 or more wild raspberry plants ony land. Do you care for wild plants the same way as domestic plants? Thank you!! Good video.
I would like to know how you set up the drip irrigation system, and the materials and design used to create the wired trellis to support for raspberries.
Hi Joseph, I actually made a video on the trellis design here -ruclips.net/video/EzRlNg8nMLk/видео.html. This one is for my blackberries, but it's the same design. I'm hoping to do an irrigation video soon, but this is the system I use - resprout.com/go/soaker-row/ Hope that helps!
What's your favorite variety of raspberries? And what are your best tips for getting the biggest harvest? Let all us Garden Bosses know in the comments! 😀
Just picked up heritage raspberries
@@lorilockwood4323 Good luck! That's a popular variety!
Hey-howdy!
Wow: how did I miss this video for at least a month???
Very glad you posted this. I'd forgotten about thornless raspberries, and I'd surely love to have thornless varieties. Right now, the beds are full of very aggressive black raspberries (at least they're not blackberries, which I like as a fruit but can they ever take over real estate!
Yes, please: all information on trellising (which I had intended to do but as we observed elsewhere, didn't get done and that has been at least a decade, quite possibly more; caring, pruning, which hasn't been done very much and probably not correctly; and irrigation, too!
Thanks very, very much!
B, subscribe to my email list! resprout.com/newsletter/ I send out an email to everyone the day I publish a video so you'll be the first to know (well, you and like 1000 other people LOL). ;-)
P.S. If it makes you feel any better I have YET to build a raspberry trellis. 🤣
@@ReSprout Try to get that done (trellis) before your raspberries start powering into the season and getting the idea they don't need to be trellised or answer to the gardener for that matter. Mine are in that mindset.
@@bhalliwell2191 Too late! Ug!
@@ReSprout So they're acting ugly, are they? Well, time for some tough love, then.
You've got to love the fact that although raspberries are natural born radicals, and headstrong, to boot, they are just about indestructible and they'll survive whatever misadventure or misfortune in the way of pruning and trellising we inflict on them. Might set them back just a hair, but they'll come back roarin' strong.
@@bhalliwell2191 You should see the blackberries! They are animals! I found blackberries in my blueberry and raspberry beds! INSANE!
I use a manual ice auger when I can't get through the soil easily. It has a blade on it and will slice rocks in half.
Wow! That's sounds hardcore... AND TOTALLY USEFUL! Sounds like that's going on my holiday gift list! 😈
Curious if raspberry could be used as privacy fence in mostly shady area. We have some bushes and I was thinking to replace those with raspberries. If not, what other berry plants I could plant instead? Thanks!
No. They have too few leaves.
yes please caring for raspberries yay
Thanks for the feedback Andy! I didn't think there'd be a lot of people interested, but it looks like there is!
I like what you use acid fertilizer. Can you do so with strawberries?
What is that,cow pee like Miracle Grow?
Just bought hararasp rasberry tree seeds. Its a decidious rasberry tree
Hello, can you realize them if they are set with fruit but not ripe yet?
The leaves on the fruiting branches are a bit yellow/brown here and there. Assuming it's not mosaic virus
Thanks for the video. I would love to view how you protect the fruits from birds. It's always a struggle for me.
Yes, same!
@dorasestito5906 and @susanpace1322 - Yes! Birds are always a pain. I can tell what NOT to use-bird netting! I killed a bird within one day of putting it up. Come to find out later that the Audubon Society is on a mission to abolish the stuff it's so bad for birds! I'm gonna be trying row cover this year if it gets bad. I found though, that if I stay on top of the picking, the birds aren't as interested in semi-ripe fruit. I keep the ground clean of fallen fruit and pick the ripe stuff the first day it's ripe and try not to leave it hanging around for days to tempt them.
Birds don't eat them. Nor Do Bugs. They are the greatest, easiest fruit to grow.
If u have extra to freeze just spread on a cookie sheet.
once you have thorn bush you learn how to handle em so you dont get thorned. dont worry about soil they will grow in anything. 1 plant turning into 8 plants. everbearing are better.
The cane broke off my barefoot raspberry. I just planted the roots will that grow at all?
Yes, it should grow! They're pretty resilient. Just keep watering them and be patient. It might be a few weeks.
I bought 3 raspberries plants, thus october, in a supermarket…
One , autumn one, the others summer ones.
They all have leaves, on a cane [ 20 cms]
What do i do?
I live in uk, wales, it rains all the time.
Do i cut each of them to the ground, do i keep them as they are?
Let me know, pkease
No. Never prune until the cane that fruited dies.
😊😊😊
Hi i live in the uk and ive just bought a small rasberry plant. I have moved it in a larger pot with new compost abd fertilizer and for some reason my leave are turning brown on the edge and curling up. I water it regularly but no joy plz help. Also i want to know if it can be left outdoor in the rain.
Gosh, brown edges could be a lot of things. Could it be over watering? It's probably not sunburn since you have it inside. Try taking it outside and leaving it. You guys have enough rain in the UK 🤣. The sun and rain should take care of it. I got some raspberries in a pot right now outside and they're quite happy.
@@ReSprout.
Maybe the prob is the fert. They are like Straw b.s. Need no fert. Also, why indoors?!
I am in 5b and I just bought a Heritage plant. Can I put it in a large grow bag ?
I've never used grow bags, but I guess my only question would be how long does the grow bag last? Raspberries live for many years.
@@ReSproutWouldn'tbthat be o.k. forvapt.dwellwrs tho? With plenty of room u can let them spread .
How long does it take to get raspberries from a new plant?
I didn't get any the first year but I did the second!
Do I need to protect the raspberry’s from snow?
NoPe. Frost Heave Is prevented by snow. Baby Plants could be mulched too be on the safe side. Like undo for roses.
The fence made it seem like a back yard.
Can they be planted so that they don't appear as rows?
I'd like to in my front yard.
Haha! Yes, I do try my best to make the garden seem as private as possible. Believe it or not, that fence separates the garden from my neighbor's driveway and those raspberries are about 20 feet from a very busy road! As far as placement, you can plant raspberries wide in a "patch" but it might be hard to get in there and harvest. You'll invariably miss some and need to step inside the bed to get to everything, which isn't good for the plants or soil.
HELP 😭🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I live on the Caribbean side of México 🇲🇽 (near Cancún) -- subtropics -- and I really want to grow raspberries and blackberries here.
Is there any way or am I being unrealistic?
I've seen wild blackberries growing in Houston Texas with over 100 degree weather, so there must be a steain that would work here.
Hi Ruby, check with my friend Carlos at @Hablemosdelhuerto. He used to garden in Puerto Rico and is now in Florida. I know he has some wild raspberries where he's at. He may know more. The subtropics are like a different planet to me, up here in 7a! ❄️
how do you keep the squirrels and chipmunks from eating the rasberries??
Prayers. LOL! For real though, I try to stay on top of the picking. I found that the animals get more interested when there's lots of fallen fruit and ripe berries hanging around. If the ground is clean and the only thing on the bushes is half-ripe berries, they animals aren't as interested. I use hardware cloth screens on my strawberry beds, but haven't needed to rig up something like that yet for the raspberries. Cross your fingers! It probably helps that the raspberry bed is literally 20 feet from a busy road. I have a lot less animal pressure that way. They're not dumb!
I prefer the thorns because I'm planting them along the inside of my backyard fence and these thorns are like barbed wire !!!

नमस्कार जी ❤
I’m surprised you set up a water irrigation system. I watered in the beginning and then did not have to thereafter any my three heritage raspberry plants I took off so well… the plants had plenty of water… there was no need to give them addl water
I really need to find someone who can teach me how to grow cranberrys and raspberrys so I can make an endless supply of cran raspberry juice please.
U can't grow crans . U need a bog. Ha! They grow in water.
@@WillChil466 theirs a Dry harvested and a wet harvested.
You forgot Orange... But... White?! Wha Chu Takkin Bout?
CRAZY! ;-)
Save those rocks, you can use them for a million ideas.
oh boy, I just planted 6 raspberry canes in clay soil and didn't amend it all..
How are they doing? You can always transplant them! Plants are amazingly resilient. I've transplanted by blueberries like 3 times.
Oh Ruby, nooo. Nothing grows in clay.
@@WillChil466 Me too! I went to high school in central Virginia, the WORST gloppiest densest red clay ever. Disgusting! I'm so thankful for my soil here!
Hi.. I recenetly brought fall gold raspberries from ireland and brought to India. I have transfered it in to a small pot but it looks its leaves are started shrinking from its tip. Does anyone knows the reason. Please help me to save this plant.
T9 much water? Plant It outside.
@@WillChil466 Thank you..unfortuntely i lost that plant. :-(
Boooo....
Good lord that highway noise 😖 I wish you were here on my farm . Pure peace and quiet . 😊
Once will do.
I wish I was on a farm too, believe me! Front yard's what I got! 🙃
