Which is best for growing in containers and taste?

Hi all, I’m in Florida zone 9b and just got some heritage raspberry seeds. It’s my first time growing raspberries and I was wondering if I should start them out indoors or just go ahead and plant them directly in the soil outside?

I have a heat mat that’s 10”x20” so I can do indoors if need be. I also have a trellis area so I can do outdoors, too. Just curious if there’s an agreed upon method for starting out.

Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

The one branch that has berries growing on it looks like it wants to die but the other branches look fine. What should I do?

My ranking based on flavor of 3 primocane red raspberries that are currently producing in my zone 10b Southern California weather- we’ve been reaching the mid to high 80s for about a week now. They’re located under my grape vines.

I’m surprised Nantahala doesn’t get much recognition despite it being small- it’s the most incredible tasting raspberry I have. They also go by- Sweet Repeat Red. Current crop is from Floricanes, the other two are both a primocane crop. Nantahala’s primocane crop is in the fall. When ripe they’re pretty deep red, not as dark as Joan J.

Joan J is pretty good too but not as flavorful as the Natahala. A benefit is that it’s Thornless. When ripe it reaches a dark wine color.

Himbo Top is reasonable and better than a store bought raspberry; I’ll still keep it just to have enough to make something out of the 3 varieties. When ripe they’re still very red and seem to be falling off.

Currently waiting on Anne Yellow, Glencoe Purple, and Heritage.

Hope this helps 👍🏽

So I have seemingly rescued a raspberry patch, if you will, that was my stepmother’s. I have one row that is already fruiting and the next hasn’t even flowered. I’m just wondering how late in the season some varieties can fruit?

These popped up and I let them grow after pulling all my old plant that stopped producing. Mine were all red. Are these edible ? What are they ?

Hi all. I’m am trying to find a source for salmonberry plants in Canada. I also have seeds but have heard they are unreliable and difficult to germinate.

Does anyone know of or have a source of where I could find them, or does anyone have experience and advice on germinating their seeds?

Thank you!

I inherited an overgrown raspberry patch with my new home. They had just started to bud out for the year and pruned them by clearing out dead shoots, trimming back branches off main shoots and cutting everything back to ~3-4 feet. I don't know if they are summer or fall producers.

Should I cut them all the way down even though it's so late in the spring(I live in the upper peninsula of Michigan, so it's just barely spring here) or leave them this year?

Thanks in advance :)

I'm about to move, and my neighbor who has raspberries has offered to give me some cuttings to take with me. I'm in the northeast, so it's getting chilly and we're moving to a house where I haven't had the chance to really map out where I want to plant everything.

I'm thinking of putting the cuttings in pots and just keeping them either indoors or in a plastic greenhouse over the winter, then planting them in the spring. Would it be better to do this, or to plant them in what seems to be the best place in the yard now, even though I may end up moving them? Thanks for any thoughts!

These are first year canes on my second year plant. The two year old canes are fruiting now. I've pruned the first year canes to ~4' and I've noticed these "suckers" popping up, which didn't happen with my plant the first year.

I know with tomatoes these are pruned, but can't seem to find guidance on raspberries outside of pruning the main canes.

Any guidance would be appreciated, thanks!

I have a nice 30'x30' black cap raspberry patch growing on the septic mound at my new house. I made lots of jam, froze some raspberries for pies, canned whole berries in light syrup, and ate a bunch while picking.

After going on vacation, I found many over-ripe berries when I returned. I squished some with a fork and dried them out on paper towels. I had to keep crumbling them up as they dried. I looked online, and couldn't find when the best time to plant raspberry seeds is.

The remaining berries, I squished carefully and put in a pickle jar in the fridge until I could figure out what to do with them. I was considering tilling up a new area and spreading these seeds out. Did I make a mistake putting them in the fridge if I am going to sew them while it is hot? Not sure if raspberry seeds need a cold cycle before germinating. Worried if I plant them now that the seeds will germinate, but not get established enough before winter. Thoughts on what I should do with this jar of seeds and pulp?

I got this plant a month or so ago, the leaves are starting to turn yellow and they are browning at the edges. It also looks like something is eating them as well, so I have been spraying with neem oil to little effect. Not really sure what is causing this?

So I’m looking for Willamette, Honey Queen, and Carolina and I know this is a terrible time to transplant but I’m looking to purchase for fall shipping and I’ve been to over 20 sites and none of them even offer them for purchase-fall shipping.
