Red Raspberry 17cm

Description

Red raspberries (Rubus idaeus) thrive under specific growing conditions:

1. Sunlight: Full sun exposure ensures optimal fruit production. Aim for at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.

2. Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5 is ideal for red raspberries.

3. Watering: Maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during fruit development, to prevent drying out or waterlogging.

4. Spacing: Plant red raspberries 2-3 feet apart in rows, with 8-10 feet between rows, to allow for proper air circulation and growth.

5. Pruning: Regular pruning in late winter or early spring helps manage plant size, improve air circulation, and promote fruit production.

6. Support: Consider trellising or staking red raspberry canes to support their growth and make harvesting easier.

7. Fertilization: Apply balanced fertilizer in early spring and after harvesting to provide necessary nutrients for growth and fruiting.

By meeting these growing conditions, you can enjoy a plentiful harvest of delicious red raspberries in your garden.
