Answer 3

I don't know of any bush raspberry.  They grow by canes and are considered an cane fruit(actually called drupes)  There are actually two kinds of raspberries Some you cut to the ground after each fruiting season. These are called fall-bearing, and they produce canes that bear fruit on the top portion of the current season's growth in late summer and fall. If these canes are left to overwinter, they bear fruit in the spring on the lower portions that did not fruit the previous fall. Then there are summer-bearing cultivars (which are the most common) They produce biennial canes called primocanes--and grow one year and develop into floricanes that produce fruit the next year. If you are interested in raspberries by next year-here are the names of several fall-bearing red raspberries: Amity; August Red; Autumn Bliss; Bababerry; Fall Red; Heritage; Indian Summer; Redwing: September: and Summit. All the purple raspberries seem to be summer-bearing berries. I have two bars at the end of my rows - shaped like a T; and I have wire strung (3 rows) strung up every 18" to the end of the row; as the raspberries put up their canes, I attach them to to wire in order to keep them off the ground and for better picking in the summer and fall when they're ripe.

I generally plant my berries in early spring, but you can plant them in the fall as long as the ground isn''t frozen

No, Raspberries do not grow as a bush. They require wooden posts 2" x 2"square for each six feet of width of growth. Single line wires should be fixed to the posts about 9" apart. Before you put the plants in, you dig the soil over well and liberally spread compost over the area.

Plant the raspberries in about 15" apart and keep them watered well, whilst they are making roots.

You will get some raspberries next year but not many. That's because all the energy has gone into making roots. In year 2, you will have a harvest. Enjoy.

Answer 5

You don't attach raspberry's to wire.Generally grow a batch together about 18 inches apart and they all support each other.You will get quite a few fruits.Growing on a horizontal axis is better as more fruit produced,but casual growers never do that,the bunched method is fine

Answer 6

Raspberries start with a single cane or a stalk, and as they grow they become a raspberry bush. The raspberry canes require support.
