How wide do raspberries grow?
« on: February 06, 2009, 13:50 »
Please can someone tell me how wide autumn fruiting raspberries grow.

I have a 2ft wide bed along the path and wondered if they could go in there
or if they would hang over the path too much. If they can go there i wouldn't be losing any veg growing space. If they can't i might just have to lose a flower border...  :unsure: can't lose any more lawn as grandchildren need somewhere to play  ::)

I have three  raspberrie canes against a fench. 2' wide sounds fine. When the plants bear fruit they will hang outwards, just tie a piece of string round the whole bush to keep it neat. Works for me :nowink:
Life is a heap of manure. Growing one minute, stinking the next.

just don't forget to pull out the extra growths that appear, or you'll definitely have an overrun lawn!!

If you only grow a few, you can tie them up, but I have to allow 6 feet of growing space for mine, plus space to walk along the row to pick them. All in all they must take up about 10 feet of my plot.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
