Luke, where did you get your thornless raspberries, or is that just wishful thinking? I've been attacked by raspberry canes too (even wearing gloves and a long sleeve shirt) and it's not a pleasant experience!
Great video, Luke! About how far do you cut back the raspberry canes after they go dormant? Almost all the way to the ground?
Thank you for making that video . I like how it came out. Nice job 🙂
Thornless raspberries are quite appealing right now lol. Great video!
Maybe using gloves next time… lol
Those stakes are much shorter than what I use. I grow 4 or 5 different varieties under a 10 ft tall lemon tree because I am limited on space. I like several types of raspberries because I have extended my season which starts in May and goes to late September. This year I have had a bumper crop. Being under the lemon tree, which I thin regularly, has worked out great. Since the space under the lemon wasn’t being used before I don’t need to find an empty space. Also fertilizing takes care of both the tree and raspberries.
I wonder why my canes grow 8 ft tall. Maybe it is the tree but using taller stakes takes care of that. I also put several rows of twine so the canes come through according to their varieties’ height.
I staked our wild black raspberries and this year they quadrupled and more in the amount of fruit they produced, it was bigger and juicer!
What type of seeds are good to plant in an aerograden
Great info thankyou
I have rasberries also. Never knew they had thorns. Boy did i find out the wrong way. Lol. I am going on my second yr with them. They are in a pot atm but will have to put them in the ground very soon. Probly after this season.
SUGGESTION VIDEO: Fertilizer, equipment, supplies, seed maintenance and storage for winter.
I like your idea, but when I use cotton string to do the Florida style weave. The cotton string loosens once it get wet.
When dealing with raspberry plants, never grab the stems. Grab a couple of the green leaves at the end of the stem and lift them up to pick the berries. The stems have the intense pickers. The leaves, although they are fragile, can be lifted to reveal the berries or move the stems where you want them moved. Avoid the stems unless you have on gloves and thick sleeves.
Awesome 🙂
Hi, Luke! I just wanted to let you know that I received your Trifecta today! Wow, that was a fast delivery, faster than Amazon and I'm a prime member! Can't wait to use it and see my peppers and tomatoes grow. Thanks!
How far back do u prune them and how often fall,spring,etc ?
Do you cut it like to the ground?
That short of stakes would offer zero support for my raspberries. My stake are 3 feet tall but my plants are 5-6 feet tall. (In Montana with heritage and Letham varieties.)
Question… I've got a Kiowa blackberry plant I planted this spring. It's not a year old yet and takes about 2-3 years to fruit. Should it still be cut back if it has not produced fruit yet or should I wait until it starts fruiting? As always, thanks for the informative videos.
I only have one raspberry bush and i wouldnt dare with no gloves !!lol but I did learn something to cut them back after they fruit! Do you remember how old these raspberries are ?
or wear gloves
I just wear gloves when working on my raspberries.
How many plants do you have in your planter?
As a carpenter and someone with lots of landscape construction experience I can honestly say I have never used rope or strong to set a grade stick :p.
We do use string lines everyday but never for grade.
Love your visa, just had to say that!
My raspberries grew to ten feet tall and they really did need to be secured with very strong stakes.
LOL You might try Canby "thornless" raspberries. They do well here in Zone 4 Rocky Mountains.
So, they make these things called gloves
gloves?
Thanks for the great videos. I really appreciate them, and I learn a lot! Question: I have a community garden, where my raspberries are just taking off. My neighbor told me I had to thin them out. I watched your videos on raspberries and saw nothing about thinning. Is it important to thin raspberries?
Kill the music!
