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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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*
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 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.
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.
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
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
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! 🙏🙏
@@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!
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.
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
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!
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!
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 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!
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.
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?
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.
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
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 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!
That miniature raspberry plant looks great. I may have to get a couple. I used to have a nice hedge of raspberries but they got old and weren't producing too well so I pulled them and switched to blackberries last year. Should get some this year hopefully. Thanks!
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 No kidding! I was planning on going there next week to pickup a cattle panel so I'll have a look. Thanks. 10-12 gallon container right?
Thank you Jenna, great video. I did not know chill hours were a factor in growing raspberries! I'm glad you mentioned this so I will not waste my time (avg 450 hours in Austin, Tx).
You're welcome. There are some low-chill raspberry cultivars in the works (or perhaps already on the market), though I don't know much about them-- may be worth looking into?
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 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,
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 have the shortcake ones. I cut all the canes down a few weeks ago except one because the leaves turned brown and it was looking ugly. You didn't say if they were flora or primacane ones. Are mine gonna grow?
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?
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.
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.
Hello Jenna and greetings from SW Ohio! I recently watched your video on growing blueberries in pots. I wasn't aware that they would not do well in the ground. I just ordered 2 bushes and I am looking forward to seeing great results. Thanks so much for taking time out of your day to share your knowledge with the rest of us!!😊
Hello Joe! Someone in comments here mentioned that there are small pockets of Ohio that do have soil appropriate for blueberries and other acid loving plants- it might be worth testing your soil to see (though it sounds like it may be in the more eastern area of the state). I’m in midwestern Ohio and the soil here just does not work for blueberries!
I’m in between Dayton and Cincinnati and my raspberry and blueberry plants don’t do good.. the blackberry plants do good… I really think it’s the soil probably time to test the soil
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.
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 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
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
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?
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?

Very helpful tips as I prepare to plant my bare root raspberry plants. Thanks!
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.
@@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.

@@GrowfullywithJenna No kidding! I was planning on going there next week to pickup a cattle panel so I'll have a look. Thanks. 10-12 gallon container right?
@@franksinatra1070 I actually got them from their website, not the store... but there's a chance your store may have them! Yes, 10-12 gallon
Do you plan to do any Livestreams for some QA?? Very Helpful and Informative!! Thank You!!
Eventually I hope to!
Thank you Jenna, great video. I did not know chill hours were a factor in growing raspberries! I'm glad you mentioned this so I will not waste my time (avg 450 hours in Austin, Tx).
You're welcome. There are some low-chill raspberry cultivars in the works (or perhaps already on the market), though I don't know much about them-- may be worth looking into?
Great! Thank you!
You might like to try micro Hugelkulturs in your pots.
Absolutely!
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."
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
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,
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
I have some freak golden raspberries that fruit twice, late spring and late summer
Bonus fruit! Woohoo!
Jenna where did you get your big pots. enjoyed the video. thanks
Hi Nancy- all my big pots are hand-me-downs.
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 have the shortcake ones. I cut all the canes down a few weeks ago except one because the leaves turned brown and it was looking ugly. You didn't say if they were flora or primacane ones. Are mine gonna grow?
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.
Wow, what an excellent video, packed with awesome information!

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.
Thank you so much.
My Allah bless you for this helpfull info 🙏
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.
Hello Jenna and greetings from SW Ohio! I recently watched your video on growing blueberries in pots. I wasn't aware that they would not do well in the ground. I just ordered 2 bushes and I am looking forward to seeing great results. Thanks so much for taking time out of your day to share your knowledge with the rest of us!!😊
Hello Joe! Someone in comments here mentioned that there are small pockets of Ohio that do have soil appropriate for blueberries and other acid loving plants- it might be worth testing your soil to see (though it sounds like it may be in the more eastern area of the state). I’m in midwestern Ohio and the soil here just does not work for blueberries!
I’m in between Dayton and Cincinnati and my raspberry and blueberry plants don’t do good.. the blackberry plants do good… I really think it’s the soil probably time to test the soil
I have the raspberry shortcake variety. Are they primacane bearing or florocane bearing?
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’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.
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
Do you have to root prune the bottom roots of the potted raspberry plants every year?? To promote growth?
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
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!
हरे कृष्णा हरे कृष्णा
👍
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!
Is the raspberry shortcake a primacane or Florian variety?
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?
Great info thakns
You're welcome!
Would an old recycle bin work?
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.
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!
Where did u get your plaid shirt? 💙
