Planting in early spring is recommended. Canes should be planted 50cm/1.5ft apart, and have at least 2m/6ft between rows, although some growers plant rows closer. Raspberries grow best in well drained soil. The ideal pH level in soil for raspberries is between 5.8 and 6.5. Raspberries fruit on two year canes. After a cane produces fruit, it dies. These canes should be cut off and removed in late fall to allow more room for the new canes to grow and produce fruit the following year. Avoid pruning the tops of the canes, as most of the production occurs in this area.
