How Far Apart to Plant Raspberries?

Plants need to be spaced approximately 18-24″ apart for best results.

The distance between rows should be approximately 10-12 feet.

New canes are going to emerge from the plant roots after 6-8 weeks.

Mow or cut all canes that growing beyond the initial rows with the two feet width, after the planting matures.

Getting ready to plant your Yellow and Red Raspberries

Raspberries thrive in organically rich, sandy-loam or drained loam soil. If you need more organic matter, add some aged manure or compost a few weeks before planting or during the fall before planting.
If the soil is reluctant to drain post-rain, or if you the soil is heavy or consists of clay, build raised beds.
Check the pH of the soil. The ideal pH is between 6.5 and 6.8.
Fertilize your plants as soon as possible after they’ve been planted.
Mix 12 to 34 pounds of 10-10-10 for every 100 square feet a minimum of 2 to 3 weeks before planting or in the fall before planting.
Every bramble crop should be trellised!
It is critical to have water that is easily accessible. Irrigation is required at the time of planting and during the growing phase or season.

Keep your raspberry plants healthy.

IRRIGATION

Throughout the growth season, 1″–2″ of rain or equivalent is expected every week.

FERTILIZATION

In the spring, side–dress every row with 34 lb – 1 pound of 10–10–10 for every 100 sq ft. Commercial producers should apply 500 pounds per acre of fertilizer or fertilize according to the results of the soil test.
Test your pH on a regular basis and apply amendments as needed to preserve the soil pH between 6.0 and 6.5.
In the fall, don’t fertilize.

CONTROL OF WEEDS

During the growing season, regular nurturing is required.
The roots are generally shallow, so don’t go deeper than one inch.
For chemical advice, contact the local extension office.
After the first year, we suggest that you avoid mulching the raspberry plants.

TRELLIS

We profusely advise using a trellis to support your plants.

PRUNING

Varieties that give fruit year after year (Fall–bearing)
Mow or trim every cane in the early spring or early winter while all the plants are still dormant for a single highly fruitful Fall crop. Always leave the smallest amount of stub feasible.

Final Word:

We hope that this blog has given you a clear idea about the spacing for raspberry plants, and also offered a wealth of other information regarding the plantation process.
