This video reminded me of my grandma. She was known for her raspberries and wild blackberries. She had a few plants and they grew up out of an old rusty car. The rustier the car, the better the blackberries were. I sure do miss her.
Another great video! One bit of advice for those of us that deal with horrible Japanese beetles is that a) they like to eat raspberries and b) if you have Floricane raspberries the fruit comes right when the beetles are in full swing. For this reason we like primocane raspberries which will fruit usually in September after the beetles are gone.
Thank You! I have been wanting to add perennial berries, but really didnt want to plant them in the ground, and I mainly do container gardening. Raspberry shortcake seems to be a perfect plant for my garden. I'm bookmarking this video.
You’re welcome! I had a hard time finding Raspberry Shortcake plants that weren’t ridiculously expensive, but did finally find some from Tractor Supply Co, of all places!
@@GrowfullywithJenna Thanks, there is a Tractor Supply within a reasonable drive from me (40 minutes away). They have the Shortcakes for about $9 as a bare root plant. They also have a dwarf blackberry for the same price. Looks like I will be going there Monday after taking my daughter to work. At $4.75 a gallon for gas I like to combine trips.
@@GrowfullywithJenna I got a raspberry (Raspberry Shortcake) and thornless dwarf blackberry from Tractor Supply today. It ended up being $21 with tax for both of them. The package was so big, but they are small plants. I put them in some cheap one gallon pots temporarily. That way if it dips into the teens overnight (it happened in April last year) I can easily bring them in. I have 2 blue plastic half barrels that I rescued from the trash last year that are about 30'' wide and 24'' tall they will likely end up in.
I just got my Raspberry Shortcake plant. I thought they would wait until spring to send it to me, but they didn't. So here I am in Indiana in the winter. So I have it in its original 2 qt. container sitting on a table by my patio. Hope it survives the winter so I can get it planted and sitting in the sun
Don't plants usually like to be cozy so the pot fits the size of the plant? I am starting with bareroot so it will need to grow a few months before ready for even a 5 gallon pot.
Jenna thank you for this video! I purchased an extra yellow ann raspberry that I didn’t plan for in my permaculture area! I’m going to put her up in a large pot! Thanks for these videos! This is just what I needed. I have a large pot with mint that comes back every year. I read mint grows well under raspberries, I’m going to make room in middle of this large pot for my raspberry, and pray the raspberry established itself with the mint as a companion plant! 🙏🙏
Double cropping is what i do in NZ. It's easy to tell because the new cane grows in spring and fruits in Autumn (Fall) at the end of the cane. Then winter you prune the top off below the finished fruiting and wrap that cane around a wire and will fruit next spring from short growth from each node or leaf set so the longer that cane is the more fruit i get. You will a,so get new canes from the base. Then Summer you can cut that fruited cane off but it tends to die back anyway but meanwhile those new canes from spring will fruit in Autumn/ Fall and the process starts again
Hi Jenna! Robert from NW Ohio here. The timing for your video was perfect. I'm looking to grow several raspberry varieties in containers this growing season.
I just got my raspberries, blackberries and strawberries from Gurneys. I love your videos, always doing a great job. Do you have a video on blackberries? And cherries?
To be clear, it's coco 'coir' not core. The word is two syllables, as in ˈkoi(ə)r. Just say coy ur, COY. UR. Then together, COYUR. Like in the film Idiocracy, everyeryone agrees to say it wrong. If you're reading this, you're not stupid. You're probably just repeating it like all of the ignorant ones before you. Welcome to America.
For trees in pot Bigger is better And I love grow bags for my trees Grow bag help the root development meaning you will have your tree to live longer Usually at least 20 gallons
I’ve been searching for your blackberry variety recommendations- any AAS selections? I’m in 6b in West Virginia so wanted to check before buying whatever looked good in pictures.
Ooh- thank you for this-- I need to add fruit to my list, which I'll do soon! But for blackberries, some of my top picks include: Triple Crown, Heaven Can Wait, Ouachita, Prime-Ark Freedom and Black Magic.
Great video! I always watch you channel since you give clear info and about the same zone. Do you have any Blackberry planting vids? I tried a search and nothing came up. Thanks.
Just found some wild raspberries and blackberries in my back yard so I trust they will survive my area 🤣 I just hope my plants take root in the pots so I don't need to go into the field next year
I'd love to hear if this works for you. We have wild black raspberries here which are one of my favorite fruits, and I've often thought about trying to transplant and cultivate them, but was worried they wouldn't respond well.
Omg what perfect timing for this video! I’m in Ohio and just bought a raspberry plant from Lowe’s a couple days ago with no real idea where I was going to put it haha
My favorite berry had them and did great in my last yard and rested here but my full sun here just dried berries beyond of any use.I've half barrels and planting you advise on blueberries in containers. Great video and thanks for the teaching Lady
HELLO JENNA ! IT IS MY PLEASUR TO WATCH THIS VIDEO TODAY, JUNE 2022. THANK YOU FOR A DETAILED VIDO. I HAV ALREADY A PLANT IN A BIG POT. NOW AFTER WATCHING I REALIZED MY PLANT NEEDS MORE WATER. NOW ONWARDS I WILL KEEP WATERING PROPERLY. CAN I ADD AND USE ABSOMSAULT IN THE WATER ? THANKS A LOT. 👍👌
I wiah i would of got a thornless my golden raspberry is downright dangerous has the most wicked thorns of various sizes even down less than a hair size does good keeping the birds off :)
Finally i found an amazing video about raspberry. I've finally figured why my raspberry isn't doing amazing. Thank-you so much for your amazing explanation.
I have blackberries growing on a trellis and would like to add raspberries to my garden How far away do you have to plant them from each other? I’ve heard they can spread disease to each other
Great question, Stephanie. There is a lot of conflicting info (and straight up misinformation) out there about this topic. Personally, I have no issue planting cultivated blackberries and raspberries near each other, as long as they are given enough room. The concern for me, is planting near wild brambles, which are more tolerant to some diseases that cultivated varieties may be susceptible to. Ohio State University Extension warns against planting cultivated raspberries within 300 feet of any wild blackberry or wild raspberry plants; this avoids introducing wild pests or diseases into your garden.
I had an empty tub set up like Gardening with Leon and had bought a raspberry plant, so I gave it a try. It tripled in size and has a lot of blossoms and green berries. It has been easy to maintain, I fill the reservoir twice a week with water, staked the branches and I am going to fertilize it. This video was very helpful,I had no idea how to trim or over winter
Thank you for sharing this video! I garden too and I’m trying to research all the things I can grow in containers. This is very helpful. Thanks for teaching me something new. I hope we can learn more from each other as we grow our gardens and our TH-cam channels!
Just a heads-up: I picked up 3 Raspberry Shortcake plants at the Mason, OH Costco this week for the unbelievably low price of $18/ea! Semi-mature plant, not just the sprig!
I planted a nice selection of raspberries this past week, but I'm quite convinced they will get wiped out by Japanese beetles. There seems to be more and more of them in E TN each year. Do you have to deal with them much in Ohio?
Knock on wood... the only thing I have much trouble with them on are my grapes, but I know other folks around me that have tons of them every year. Japanese Beetles are notoriously difficult to deal with. The best luck I've had is going out in the morning and knocking them off the plants into a bucket of soapy water and/or feeding them to my chickens. Another tactic (which is not an immediate solution) is to apply either nematodes (Heterohabditis bacterophora) or bT (Bacillus thuringiensis v. galleriae) to the lawn/soil to control the grubs that will eventually turn into the adult beetles.
Nice! I just pulled the trigger on a dozen blackberry and raspberry plants yesterday. I have a few that grow wild on my property, so I'm sure they'll take right off in the ground. I'm glad I found your channel. It's fun to watch gardeners from various parts of the world, but they aren't as useful as watching someone within the same zone. Keep up the great work
Very cool! That's a good sign that your conditions are right!! One thing to be aware of, is that it's typically advised not to plant cultivated raspberries near wild brambles, which are more tolerant to some diseases that cultivated varieties may be susceptible to. Ohio State University Extension warns against planting cultivated raspberries within 300 feet of any wild blackberry or wild raspberry plants; this avoids introducing wild pests or diseases into your garden. I've got mine planted closer than that, because like you, I've got the wild ones around me and they kind of ring my whole property... so it's hard to get away from them. No issues yet- but my cultivated ones haven't been here that long. Happy planting!
Wow, what an excellent video, packed with awesome information! A new subscriber here!🌱 Only, one little thing: the sound volume is a little too low, could you turn it up a little? I had no idea that one could grow raspberries in a pot! And I love those berries, lol. I am considering changing careers and studying Horticulture soon. Back to Nature!🌱🌻🌳🌱🌿 So, Jenna, do you mind my question: do you I need a 2- year education in horticulture, or one year certificate in horticulture wouldn't make a difference when looking for an employment? I already have my BA, my AA and some other trainings, ( not related to Horticulture), so a certificate for me, as a career changer seem to be a more appealing option, because I am not getting any younger! lol Do you have a suggestion, Jenna? BTW, I live in PNW, Portland 🌱
Thanks! And yes- I've recently gotten myself a lapel mic which helps a lot with the sound. Regarding education, I think a degree might help one get their foot in the door, but isn't always necessary. WIth enough hands-on or life experience, many companies are willing to give potential candidates a try. Also, it's something that not everyone wants to do, but if you're willing to start essentially 'at the bottom' working for a horticultural or gardening company, many will provide on the job training.
Getting ready to plant raspberries in containers. Thoughts on plastic versus fabric, RainScience. Do the last two require a lot more watering? Do they give better results?
I grow my raspberries (mostly Joan J) in three-gallon pots in Sunshine Mix #4, which is a "soilless mix." The pots sit in 14-inch saucers full of water all winter long and the roots don't rot, because they are growing in a "soilless mix." The more compost one uses in the pots, the higher the probability of root rot.
@@GrowfullywithJenna That's what I used to think until I ran into Gary Matsuoka's research. I no longer use compost in potted plants. It's been a game changer for me. My raspberries no longer die from root rot. I am forced to only grow raspberries in pots because the roots of my neighbor's gigantic fir tree have invaded half of my garden soil. Watch Gary Matsuoka's TH-cam video titled: *Your "Dirt" May Be Killing Your Plants*
Hi.. I recenetly brought fall gold raspberries from ireland and brought to India. I have transfered it in to a small pot but it looks its leaves are started shrinking from its tip. Does anyone knows the reason. Please help me to save this plant.
I am going to try raspberries in containers this year. I live in the Pacific Northwest which is perfect berry growing territory, except unfortunately deer munched down all the raspberries in my garden 😢. The deer will not come close to the house though, where I will place my containers. A perfect solution until I can get deer fencing in, thank you!
Hello. I’m in 5b/6a Ohio and just found your channel. I flower garden and wondered if I could plant the raspberry and blackberry bushes in containers when I do my flower containers- Mother’s Day weekend? Or is that late for berries?
Hi, I’m going to be growing red raspberries and black berries in pots. I’ve read that it’s not a good idea to plant together due to diseases that can kill each other. If I plant them together in the same garden bed but in different pots will they be fine?
I live in the Caribbean Islands where its two seasons, rainy and sunny, I have a raspberry plant that's about one year since I got it. It's the thorny one but i don't know what the berries look like. It's potted in a very large pot that u was given, think it's a ten gallon pot, I'd like to know how much soil do I put in the pot,
Thank you. I use bird netting or a pop up protector like this: www.gardeners.com/buy/pop-up-pest-protector/8610416.html Some folks also use things like reflective tape or even aluminum pie plates strung up on string to scare off the birds.
They would be very similar! There is a comparable blackberry variety for containers called 'Baby Cakes'. Likes, raspberries, you can grow other blackberries in a pot, but be aware that there are some varieties which get HUGE- something like 'Triple Crown' can have canes that are up to 15' long, but others stay relatively compact. Something like 'Heaven Can Wait', which grows to just 4' and canes are pretty much self supporting, would be better suited to containers. The other growing requirements are going to be pretty much the same, one small difference is that blackberries can tolerate a more neutral pH soil, anywhere in the 5.5 to 6.5 range.
I have a 2nd year plant in a smallish pot. The leaves are out. Can I still transplant to a larger pot or do I have to wait for fall? Any advice will help. Thanks
Hello central indiana have b2 red and one orange rashberry plants. orange not bloom will try pot plantmight have got root binding ,clay soil will trypot plant on orange one
Thank you for this! I just got a raspberry plant from a plant swap. I don’t know what variety it is but it looks very healthy. I plan on planting in a container and need some tips! I’m zone 6b PA
I just discovered your channel and am so happy. I watched your potato video and I will planting those shortly. We are zone 6 and I'm thankful to watch and learn.
Thank you. I live right between zones 7 and 8. I'd like to try a potted one of these. I have thornless blackberries in my yard and they do well. I also have a lemon tree, a lime tree, and pineapple plants in pots, and they bare fruit: they winter in my greenhouse though. I have seen lemon trees survive outdoors here and bare fruit. So there is a wide range of what will grow here. I just assumed that where I live was too warm for raspberries.
Very informative video. I recently purchase 4 Raspberry Shortcake Plants. All are 8" - 10"s tall and getting bushy. I also built two Wooden Planters 22"s wide X 24"s deep and approx 32 "s measured corner to corner. Can I plant more then One Raspberry Shortcake Plant in ea Planter or should I stick to One per Planter. I havent grown raspberries in pots before but did have great success with Heritage & Fall Gold Raspberries in the ground yrs ago. Keep up the great videos.
@@GrowfullywithJenna Thank you Jenna. It's getting warmer here in SC and I'm anxious to get them out and into the Planters. These RSC Plants were about an Inch above the soil & each had barely a 1/4 inch leaf to them when I got them. I wish I could show you a photo of what that look like a short month later. They do grow fast. Yrs back I grew Heritage (5 canes) back on Long Island. In ground. Our house was built on an old Potato farm so the soil was incredible, as is most soil on LI. All I did was rake up & crumble some dried maple tree leaves (planted in Nov) into the holes & plant. Within two yrs we had more Raspberries then we knew what to do with. Even our children were getting tired of picking them! LOL Hoping my new venture will be as productive and satisfying. Again, thank you for replying.
@@aguilera1728 probably not this year, I'm sorry! I'm still learning this crop, so I really don't have any advice to offer at this point! I just know I love to eat it!
Great video! Raspberry bushes love more acidic soils... Amending the potting soil with spent (coffee grounds from brewed) or unused coffee grounds can provide some assistance with additional acidity: unused coffee grounds providing the most acidity and "spent" coffee grounds providing lesser acidity. QUESTION: is there anything else, about coffee grounds, that might hurt a potted raspberry bush? Thanks for sharing you gardening experience!
Thanks. There is some debate as to whether coffee grounds actually acidify soil. According to the University of Minnesota Extension, "Coffee grounds can be beneficial to your soil. However, they have not been shown to consistently lower soil pH."
I got a raspberry shortcake this year and it produced like three raspberry’s. Do you have to wait three years for them too? Also I live in WI. Should I leave outside or in unheated garage? If brought in how much water and how often do I have to water them as my container strawberry’s died that I brought in garage. Thank you
Because the raspberry plant is an aggressive grower will a raspberry planted in a pot that is sitting on dirt somehow spill over onto the dirt ground resulting in new raspberry canes? I want to prevent this spill over affect. I understand raspberries can take over a yard. No bueno!
Potentially it could, but with a compact, low vigor variety like Raspberry Shortcake it is unlikely. With other varieties it would be more of a concern.
I have a raspberry shortcake plant in its second year. It's sending out runners that are filling the pot. My question is, should I remove the runners or leave them?

WIth enough hands-on or life experience, many companies are willing to give potential candidates a try. Also, it's something that not everyone wants to do, but if you're willing to start essentially 'at the bottom' working for a horticultural or gardening company, many will provide on the job training.
Getting ready to plant raspberries in containers. Thoughts on plastic versus fabric, RainScience. Do the last two require a lot more watering? Do they give better results?
Fabric definitely dries out faster. But either will work just fine.
Those red-winged blackbirds are gettin' down in the background! I love the sounds of spring
They are! They're enjoying the weather as much as I am!
I grow my raspberries (mostly Joan J) in three-gallon pots in Sunshine Mix #4, which is a "soilless mix."
The pots sit in 14-inch saucers full of water all winter long and the roots don't rot, because they are growing in a "soilless mix."
The more compost one uses in the pots, the higher the probability of root rot.
It depends a lot on the quality/make-up of your compost.

That's what I used to think until I ran into Gary Matsuoka's research. I no longer use compost in potted plants. It's been a game changer for me. My raspberries no longer die from root rot. I am forced to only grow raspberries in pots because the roots of my neighbor's gigantic fir tree have invaded half of my garden soil.
Watch Gary Matsuoka's TH-cam video titled:
*Your "Dirt" May Be Killing Your Plants*
Fantastic video! Thank you for all the information
Hi.. I recenetly brought fall gold raspberries from ireland and brought to India. I have transfered it in to a small pot but it looks its leaves are started shrinking from its tip. Does anyone knows the reason. Please help me to save this plant.
I am going to try raspberries in containers this year. I live in the Pacific Northwest which is perfect berry growing territory, except unfortunately deer munched down all the raspberries in my garden 😢. The deer will not come close to the house though, where I will place my containers. A perfect solution until I can get deer fencing in, thank you!
I feel your pain- deer are a major issue here too, and I just had some of my tomatoes munched up! Containers near the house is a great solution!
Hello. I’m in 5b/6a Ohio and just found your channel. I flower garden and wondered if I could plant the raspberry and blackberry bushes in containers when I do my flower containers- Mother’s Day weekend? Or is that late for berries?
Hello! Yes, you can absolutely plant then!
Good information 👍
Hi, I’m going to be growing red raspberries and black berries in pots. I’ve read that it’s not a good idea to plant together due to diseases that can kill each other. If I plant them together in the same garden bed but in different pots will they be fine?
I live in the Caribbean Islands where its two seasons, rainy and sunny, I have a raspberry plant that's about one year since I got it. It's the thorny one but i don't know what the berries look like. It's potted in a very large pot that u was given, think it's a ten gallon pot, I'd like to know how much soil do I put in the pot,
Thanks so much. Wonderful imformation.
I enjoy watching your vids. How do you protect them from birds?
Thank you. I use bird netting or a pop up protector like this: www.gardeners.com/buy/pop-up-pest-protector/8610416.html Some folks also use things like reflective tape or even aluminum pie plates strung up on string to scare off the birds.
Your tshirt is cute! Where did you get it? Thanks for all the helpful information. Going to work on my raspberries soon
Thanks- I got it on Etsy: www.etsy.com/listing/224856301/beet-the-system-mens-funny-vegetable-pun?show_sold_out_detail=1&ref=nla_listing_details
Jenna would I handle blackberries the same way?
They would be very similar! There is a comparable blackberry variety for containers called 'Baby Cakes'. Likes, raspberries, you can grow other blackberries in a pot, but be aware that there are some varieties which get HUGE- something like 'Triple Crown' can have canes that are up to 15' long, but others stay relatively compact. Something like 'Heaven Can Wait', which grows to just 4' and canes are pretty much self supporting, would be better suited to containers. The other growing requirements are going to be pretty much the same, one small difference is that blackberries can tolerate a more neutral pH soil, anywhere in the 5.5 to 6.5 range.
Thank you for keeping it real! My read is very authentic and helpful!
You are welcome! I try to!
If I plant now, how long would it take to produce fruit from a raspberry shortcake plant from bushel and berry (not sure what age they sell them at)?
Most raspberries start fruiting 1-2 years after planting.
I have a 2nd year plant in a smallish pot. The leaves are out. Can I still transplant to a larger pot or do I have to wait for fall? Any advice will help. Thanks
I’m hoping to try this with some Black Jewel raspberries in galvanized tubs. Thanks for the tips.
Best of luck!
Hello central indiana have b2 red and one orange rashberry plants. orange not bloom will try pot plantmight have got root binding ,clay soil will trypot plant on orange one
Best of luck!
Thank you for this! I just got a raspberry plant from a plant swap. I don’t know what variety it is but it looks very healthy. I plan on planting in a container and need some tips! I’m zone 6b PA
You're most welcome! Happy planting!
Oh no I better put a trellis in my raspberry…also move out my strawberries I planted around it 😳…thanks for the helpful info 🥰
You're welcome
Can I just buy a bag of medium? If so, what kind is best?
Yes- if it were me, I'd splurge on some really high quality stuff. I've heard good things about Fox Farms potting medium.
I have the raspberry shortcake variety. Are they primacane bearing or florocane bearing?
would definitely plan this in a pot. I made the mistake of planting in a bed and its now growing EVERTYWHERE!!!
Yes- some varieties of raspberries sucker badly!
Do you plan to do any Livestreams for some QA?? Very Helpful and Informative!! Thank You!!
Eventually I hope to!
Thank you. I will drill some extra drain holes. I just planted my first bush a month ago. Its slow going so far.
Good luck!
Super helpful and informative! Thank you!
I just discovered your channel and am so happy. I watched your potato video and I will planting those shortly. We are zone 6 and I'm thankful to watch and learn.
Hello Lesley- I'm glad you found me! Best wishes for a wonderful growing season!
Thank you. I live right between zones 7 and 8. I'd like to try a potted one of these. I have thornless blackberries in my yard and they do well. I also have a lemon tree, a lime tree, and pineapple plants in pots, and they bare fruit: they winter in my greenhouse though. I have seen lemon trees survive outdoors here and bare fruit. So there is a wide range of what will grow here. I just assumed that where I live was too warm for raspberries.
There are some newer 'low-chill' varieties out there, that may do well for you.
Good video, I may try putting one in a container but I am not going to move that inside this fall! zone 5b/6a
No need to move indoors, see the info at 08:02 about overwintering your plants
I have some freak golden raspberries that fruit twice, late spring and late summer
Bonus fruit! Woohoo!
:)
Very informative video. I recently purchase 4 Raspberry Shortcake Plants. All are 8" - 10"s tall and getting bushy. I also built two Wooden Planters 22"s wide X 24"s deep and approx 32 "s measured corner to corner. Can I plant more then One Raspberry Shortcake Plant in ea Planter or should I stick to One per Planter. I havent grown raspberries in pots before but did have great success with Heritage & Fall Gold Raspberries in the ground yrs ago. Keep up the great videos.
Glad you found it informative, Thomas!
With a planter that size, I'd put 2 Raspberry Shortcake plants per planter.
@@GrowfullywithJenna Thank you Jenna. It's getting warmer here in SC and I'm anxious to get them out and into the Planters. These RSC Plants were about an Inch above the soil & each had barely a 1/4 inch leaf to them when I got them. I wish I could show you a photo of what that look like a short month later. They do grow fast. Yrs back I grew Heritage (5 canes) back on Long Island. In ground. Our house was built on an old Potato farm so the soil was incredible, as is most soil on LI. All I did was rake up & crumble some dried maple tree leaves (planted in Nov) into the holes & plant. Within two yrs we had more Raspberries then we knew what to do with. Even our children were getting tired of picking them! LOL Hoping my new venture will be as productive and satisfying. Again, thank you for replying.
Love it! I have had my raspberries in a huge container like the one I. Your background. They give me fruits every summer.
Glad to hear your container raspberries are doing well!
Jenna, will you do a video on jicama? As a Mexican loving in Cleveland, I would greatly appreciate it!!
@@aguilera1728 probably not this year, I'm sorry! I'm still learning this crop, so I really don't have any advice to offer at this point! I just know I love to eat it!
Love this video! We are new to berries and it has been over whelming. You made it easier!! lol
Also, love that t-shirt.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
i left my blueberry all in the winter outside now it looks dead. how to know if she will revive or not
Great video! Raspberry bushes love more acidic soils...
Amending the potting soil with spent (coffee grounds from brewed) or unused coffee grounds can provide some assistance with additional acidity: unused coffee grounds providing the most acidity and "spent" coffee grounds providing lesser acidity.
QUESTION: is there anything else, about coffee grounds, that might hurt a potted raspberry bush?
Thanks for sharing you gardening experience!
Thanks.
There is some debate as to whether coffee grounds actually acidify soil. According to the University of Minnesota Extension, "Coffee grounds can be beneficial to your soil. However, they have not been shown to consistently lower soil pH."
Thanks for the great video Jenna! Just wondering - do we need to stake the raspberries at all?
The variety I'm growing, Raspberry Shortcake, does not need staking. However, if you are growing another variety, they can benefit from some support.
I got a raspberry shortcake this year and it produced like three raspberry’s. Do you have to wait three years for them too? Also I live in WI. Should I leave outside or in unheated garage? If brought in how much water and how often do I have to water them as my container strawberry’s died that I brought in garage. Thank you
….. just subscribed to your channel … love it ! .. thank you !
Awesome, thank you!
How do rate tera cotta pots for this?
Terra cotta should work just fine.
Because the raspberry plant is an aggressive grower will a raspberry planted in a pot that is sitting on dirt somehow spill over onto the dirt ground resulting in new raspberry canes? I want to prevent this spill over affect. I understand raspberries can take over a yard. No bueno!
Potentially it could, but with a compact, low vigor variety like Raspberry Shortcake it is unlikely. With other varieties it would be more of a concern.
I have a raspberry shortcake plant in its second year. It's sending out runners that are filling the pot. My question is, should I remove the runners or leave them?
Hey there..should you only plant one bush per pot? Also for a family of 5 im curious how many plants we should have? How much do they produce?
हरे कृष्णा हरे कृष्णा
👍
Jenna where did you get your big pots. enjoyed the video. thanks
Hi Nancy- all my big pots are hand-me-downs.
Thinking of getting a few of these Bushel and Berry raspberry plants. How are yours doing?
Mine are doing great! Both the blackberry (Baby Cakes) and this raspberry!
@@GrowfullywithJenna thank you so much for your reply! I just ordered both their raspberry and blackberry plants. Hopefully I have luck with them!
Would an old recycle bin work?
Thanks Jenna for the informative video. Enjoyed, take care!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I guess I was looking for something simpler...for a balcony.
Super good information Oh love the ponytails!!!
Thanks
Is the raspberry shortcake a primacane or Florian variety?
You might like to try micro Hugelkulturs in your pots.
Absolutely!
