I think raspberries are “easy” if they have the exact environment they like, which can be hard to find. A comment in another video said they tried everything over a number of years to fix some container raspberries that barely produced and didn’t look great, and finally decided to give up, dump them in their compost/refuse area and reuse the pots for something else. The raspberries ended up thriving where they were dropped and produced abundantly.

Two years in a row, I’ve lost my yellow raspberry plants (Fall-Gold,) to the heat. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I have them in pots (no space for them in the ground,) and use the same compost from Lidl as I use for my Blackberries. Blackberries did fine, but the raspberries slowly developed browning leaves and stems, no matter how much water I provided or where (full-sun, partial shade, full shade,) I placed them. Same with my blueberries. I used an acid-lover’s compost for the blueberries bushes, mixed in with the soil from Lidl and when I measured the final mixture, before potting up, the soil was about a 5.5 PH. Monitored the soil after planting and when the soil became a PH of 6, I top-dressed with more acid-lovers compost and watered it in. Also fed with an acid-lovers fertilizer, while my blackberries and raspberries got a seaweed, phostrogen when in flower and diluted leachate from my compost bin, alternated, every week or so.

This is very helpful. I have three 9'x3' raised beds of Heritage raspberries, and got a nice small harvest from the 1st year (growing them as fall-bearing, will be pruning them all back in February). I have also struggled with identifying a sucker vs a normal primocane. I had lots of canes come up last year, but only a few of them actually put on fruit. Is there any identification methods that can help me let the primocanes help fill out my beds, while pruning the suckers? Is it horizontal vs vertical? Is there any leave pattern differences, or other things I can look for?

@allanpennington Жыл бұрын

OK so am a little confused about how to tell what are suckers. Do they grow from under the ground or from the base of a cane just above the surface? I thought the suckers were the way in which the plant spread naturally???

@TheRipeTomatoFarms Жыл бұрын

Both and yes. The come out of the ground near the base and even from side shoots just above the surface. They are the preferred method for the plant to spread naturally. As growers and cultivators looking for the largest harvests, we don't always want our crops to spread out of control.

You are great. I love your programming. Big question from a new gardener I planted raspberries and this spring there were 1 million sprouts/new plants that came up. I was excited now the bed is so thick. I don’t know if I can get my arms in to pick any berries for next year. I think what you suggested was to cut off everything a few inches from the ground , but what about thinning? They’re so thick. I should do something in those regards what would you suggest?

@TevraShai Жыл бұрын

OK so I just moved onto a property and located a TON of berry plants that I'd love to care for, however I'm lost when it comes to getting to learn how to. So info- I'm located in Wisconsin, zone 4. It's June 17th and the raspberries I found have flowers on them. I believe they are Wild Raspberries. #1- So for starters, I'd love to move them and just put them all together in one massive bed and let them take over (because right now they are scattered in the most inconvenient areas)...but each one I've attempted to move died by morning. I keep seeing all different things online about WHEN to dig them up and move them...but they say different things....one said in the fall after the leaves fell off..just before winter..but then another said to do it DURING the end of winter??? (This is not possible for me as we get very heavy, harsh winters that lead into march. Locating would be IMPOSSIBLE for me and would be a miserable task). But then ANOTHER said wait until AFTER winter, immediately when the ground soil is workable, just prior to spring. I am SO CONFUSED. When can I dig them up SAFELY without them dying on me??? Cuz I'll be so upset if I dig up every single one to move and they all die on me. #2- Also pruning...when a new plant pops up (primocane), do I just leave it completely alone until the following year before pruning in ANY way? Or do I cut the tops off in order for it to bush out more laterals the next year? #3- Then for mature canes (floricanes), when exactly do I prune them? Fall? Winter? Just before spring?? (Or was I supposed to do it when it was still technically a primocane??) Do I only cut the laterals that fruited, leaving the ones that didn't, alone?? Or do I just cut the ENTIRE cane to the ground? Also when I prune am I cutting the tops back (the skinnier areas) just before spring?? #4- is it better to prune before or AFTER digging up and moving??? #5-how can I tell which 'suckers' are not fruit producing ones??? #6- if my leaves are incredibly thick creating too much shade for the rest of the plant, can I remove leaves to allow more sun to get in? Or will that ruin something??? And #7-do the same answers for the raspberries apply to the black-raspberries and blackberries I've also found on my property or do they have their own set of rules?? (Sorry I think I'm autistic so I need things to be super specific or I struggle to follow along) Also can I put all 3 types together in the same bed area to co-exist or no? I notice they all kind of grow in their own designated spots on the property, not intermingling, but Idk if that's by chance or not

HELP I love your programs and turn to you for suggestions This is my first year with strawberry production. My tune bearing strawberries were excellent, and my plants are large and vigorous and thick I’ve seen many comments on what to do next some suggest mowing them down others cutting off the tops and holding Rose digging them up. I hate to do that. They are so beautiful and thick. What should I do?

@MrSBGames Жыл бұрын

How can you tell the difference between a "sucker" and a fruit producing stem?

@TheRipeTomatoFarms Жыл бұрын

The suckers are just more horizontal-by-nature and they don't shoot up straight like a regular stalk.

I don't know if I should prune under the dripping and spray a pruning sealer? Ir is that normal? We've had a ton of rain and i have mulch down. Maybe its keeping in the water too much?

When in doubt Cheryl, let all shoots overwinter for a couple seasons. See if the new canes get raspberries the 1st year and then check the level of fruiting on the 2nd year canes. You may not get the name of the variety, but at least you'll know whether or not they are June-bearing or Everbearing. 🙂

Could be pH, could be temperatures, salinity, over fertilizing.... Literally dozens of different possible causes. Hard to say without seeing it or testing the soil.
