Plant Care & Growing Tips

Successful cultivation of your Anne raspberry bare root canes begins with proper planting and consistent care. These plants are relatively easy to grow, especially with attention to their basic needs. Plant your bare root canes in early spring or late fall, ensuring the roots are well-spread in the planting hole and covered with soil up to the crown. Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil around the roots. The ideal spacing for these golden raspberry plant specimens is 2-3 feet between plants within a row, with rows spaced 6-8 feet apart to allow for good air circulation and easy harvesting.

Raspberries thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal fruit production. The soil should be well-drained and slightly acidic, with a pH range of 6.0-6.5. Amend heavy clay soils with organic matter like compost to improve drainage. Consistent moisture is crucial, especially during fruiting. Aim for 1-1.5 inches of water per week, either from rainfall or irrigation. Mulching with straw or bark around the base of the plants helps to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature, simplifying your raspberry plant care routine. Trellising is highly recommended for these everbearing raspberry canes to provide support, improve air circulation, and make harvesting easier.

Pruning is essential for maximizing yields and maintaining plant health. For the two-crop method, remove spent floricanes (canes that have fruited) after the summer harvest. For a fall-only crop, cut all canes down to ground level in late winter before new growth begins. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer designed for berries. Monitor for common pests and diseases, though Anne raspberries are generally quite resistant. With these guidelines, your sweet yellow raspberries will flourish, providing bountiful harvests for years to come.

Size & Details

This offering includes 5 individual Anne raspberry bare root canes. Each cane is a vigorous 1-year-old plant, carefully selected for health and readiness to establish in your garden. As bare root plants, they are shipped without soil, making them lightweight and easy to plant upon arrival. Once established, these golden raspberry plant varieties typically grow to a mature height of 4-6 feet, with a spread of 2-3 feet per plant, forming a productive bush. The canes are robust and will require trellising or other support systems to manage their growth and facilitate easier harvesting of the sweet yellow raspberries.

The Anne raspberry is an everbearing variety, meaning it produces fruit on both floricanes (second-year canes) and primocanes (first-year canes). This characteristic contributes to its two distinct harvest periods: an early summer crop on floricanes and a late summer to fall crop on primocanes. The growth rate is vigorous, and with proper raspberry plant care, you can expect fruit production to begin in the first or second year after planting. These everbearing raspberry canes are a long-term investment, providing a continuous supply of delicious golden berries for many seasons.
