| Planting Advice | Protect raspberries from extreme heat and damaging winds during summer. Berries are a long-term crop and it is worth preparing the soil well and removing all weeds before planting. Add plenty of well-rotted manure and compost in order to create a rich, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. If you have a heavy clay soil, build the beds up or add gypsum prior to planting. Mulch berries well to keep roots cool and moist and to suppress weeds. Plant your raspberries in a northerly to north-easterly aspect. |

| Watering needs | Water adequately during the summer months. |
| Pruning Advice | Summer fruiting varieties will fruit on two-year old canes. Two-year old canes are called floricanes, and the new season canes are called primocanes. Each year remove the floricanes that produced fruit and tie up the new season's primocanes to a wire trellis. Tying the canes up in bundles can make them easier to manage. |
