Raspberry Questions
« on: November 08, 2014, 19:43 »
So I have been told a good time to plant raspberry canes is November?  Is this correct?

So when I buy 1 pot of 10 canes am I buying one plant of 10 canes or one plant to spilt into 10 canes.

If it is one pot of 10 canes how many do I need for a 5m row.

I hope this makes sense :)

Each cane is one plant, so 10 canes is 10 separate plants.

just brought mine 2 weeks ago - planted them before all the rain  :D

instructions said plant them 18 inches apart and 5ft between rows so I guess they grow fairly big

Remember to place a small handful of Bonemeal in the planting hole.

anytime while they're dormant would be fine, i planted mine in march time and they still produced a small amount of fruit in the same year.

all i would say is it may be worth getting more than one variety so you don't get such a large glut of fruit.

if you don't want to buy so many plants just plant them with larger spaces and the runners will soon fill the spaces.

They spread, via suckers, so will fill-in between the originally planted canes after a season or two

So the original cane, itself, won't grow especially big

Sorry if this was obvious :)

Many people have told me that I should feed my raspberries at the beginning or March, so that is my general plan  :)
