Raspberries are a productive, delicious fruit for the home garden. The roots are perennial, but the canes are biennial (they live for two years); fruit is borne on the second-year canes. In late summer or fall, once they have finished producing fruit, the two-year-old shoots should be cut at the base (they are easy to spot because they turn brown), and any weaker first-year canes should also be removed. Red raspberries will send up suckers, which can easily be dug up to produce more plants.
Varieties:
Black Raspberry (Rubus occidentalis) – Some consider this the best-tasting of the raspberries, these are also known as black-caps. Just try to resist eating them all!
Boyne – A productive, summer-bearing variety with high-quality, medium-sized, flavourful fruit
Fall Gold – An everbearing, yellow raspberry with excellent flavour
Heritage – A widely-planted everbearing variety, producing a moderate crop in the summer and then a heavier crop in the fall; large, very sweet fruit
