Care Instructions
Raspberry bushes prefer sunshine, so they should be planted in an area that gets 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. Raspberries prefer a sandy loam soil that is rich in organic matter. The soil should be well-draining and have a pH of about 5.8-6.5. Ensure that you water the bushes regularly. You will also need to prune raspberries as part of their care. Summer raspberries should be pruned twice a year. You will want to prune the growing raspberry bushes in the spring and right after you harvest the fresh berries.
