Bare root raspberries and frost
« on: January 02, 2025, 13:15 »
Hi
I’ve got some bare root autumn fruiting raspberry canes being stored in some water in a plastic watering can. In my area the temperature dropped to -3/4 last night which led to a heavy frost. I would like to know if the roots and canes will survive this or not. Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you.

I’ve got some bare root raspberries I haven’t been able to plant yet as well.  Mine are in a pot of compost and I’ve moved it into the unheated greenhouse while the weather is forecast to be so cold.

The canes are pretty much dormant, so you have an evens chance they are OK.  Personally I would get them out of water and into damp compost, but I am probably too late in answering you tonight for that - sorry  :(

I agree with Newshoot, they’ll survive in a sheltered spot or cold garage too, they’re frost hardy when planted, it’s just the roots freezing when out of the ground that might affect them.
