What do I do with raspberry canes after they have fruited?
By Sandra
If you bend the tip down and cover it with a little earth, you will have a new cane for next year. I have read that cane only produce fruit one year, but my canes haven't read that. The canes are not long lived, only a year or two at most.
I grew red raspberries for many years. What I did was during winter after the leaves had dropped I cut out all dead canes. These are the canes that fruited. Cut them as low as you can. After I cleaned out all the dead canes I cut what was left knee high. Always had plenty of fruit and your planting will not get out of hand. Even doing this you will have to transplant and start a new row every so many years. Start a new row one year and the next year get rid of the old row after fruiting. This is because an old row will get hard to handle.
We have a community garden and I am taking a lot for next year. I want to plant raspberries and need information about shade or sun requirements, how close to plant, and watering. Thank you.

Raspberries can grow into rather large bushes and can overrun a garden if not pruned. Unfortunately raspberries produce on the 2nd year's growth.
I wanted to ask about the evolution stages of a raspberry plant under artificial light, the light cycle from germination till harvest, and how can I maximize my outcomes of fruits, and what is the best strain to plant indoors?

Summer is officially here when the raspberries fruit. They are so pretty to look at and the taste of a fresh-picked raspberry is indescribable!
Some strange plants started creeping into my yard from the neighbors' yard a few years ago. We had no idea what the plants were.
