Raspberry Question!
« on: October 07, 2012, 18:36 »
On the way to a family celebration we stopped of at a local garden centre and somehow managed to spend thirty pounds even though we were only looking.
We bought five canes of Raspberry All Gold amongst other things. On reading the label it states not to grow them where Rasperries have been grown or anywhere you have planted anything of the Genus rubus.
Why is this? I was going to plant them in an existing Raspberry run.
 
The fruits of success come from hard work!

Just not to put them where you've dug old rasps out in case there are diseases in the soil  :unsure:

If the bed is disease-free and you feed the soil before planting, I can't see a prolem  ;)

Rubus is a member of the rose family and so is susceptible to replant disease - this is what the RHS has to say on the subject
