Black Raspberry plants in need of thinning to about two feet apart,
leaving approx. 4 canes from each root here at the farm.
This farm variety- we call "Black Cap" should
be planted approx. 2 1/2 feet apart and pruned in the fall or winter.
This is the only variety we grow and sell and they are so delicious and
prolific!
The berries of these plants are available at our local farmers'
markets in season and sell quickly. They also can be frozen for later
use in your favorite pancake recipe or pie.

A HARDY AND DELICIOUS FRUIT
Black raspberries are perennial rooted plants, but the canes are
biennial. They have arched canes that grow for one year and then produce
flowers and fruits during the summer of their second year, primarily in
June and early July. The second year canes die after harvest, and should
be pruned out before fall.
They grow best in deep, sandy-loam soils with plenty of organic
matter but may be grown in any good garden soil provided it is well
drained. A leaf mulch works well here at our farm. We enjoy eating the
delicious fruits when working out in the garden! Cultivated
variety-not wild.
