Ruby Red Raspberry Fruit Plant

For summer-bearing raspberries, it takes two years for each cane to produce fruit. Individual canes grow just leaves the first year, produce fruit the second year, and then die. You can cut second-year canes back to the ground after you've harvested all the fruit from it; each cane only produces fruit once.

The floricane produces fruit in early to mid summer and then dies. New primocanes are produced each year, so fruit production continues year after year. It's your job to prune out those dead canes each year.

Where to Grow Raspberry Bushes. Raspberry bushes grow best in full sun (at least 6-8 hours), in rich, well-drained soil. Gardeners from zone 3 all the way to zone 10 can grow raspberries successfully, given the right variety.. . . . .364011234532!]0000000000000009783314146404!]
