How to Grow Raspberry Canes

Natives of Britain, Europe and Asia, they are often found growing wild in hedges. There are red, yellow and black varieties, the black varieties being most common in the United States.

Where To Grow Your Raspberry Cane
The major need for a raspberry plant is a moist soil, though heavy clay is not suitable. Light sandy soils are acceptable, as long as you are prepared to water weekly in the warmer summer months. For tip-top results with your raspberry plants the soil should be neutral, although raspberries are better than most plants in moderately acidic soils. 

Flowering on raspberry canes occurs late in the season, so protection against frost is not normally a problem. For this reason, areas which may be frost pockets (lower lying land) are likely to be acceptable.  Although full sun in a bed running North to South is is the ideal position, raspberries grow naturally in woodland areas, so shade for part of the day will not cause problems.
