Season Overview

Description

The raspberry belongs to the rose family. It is a fruit shrub that produces aromatic, sweet and sour fruits and can grow to a height of 0.6 to 2 m, depending on the variety. Its white, clustered flowers bloom from May to June. The raspberry develops fruit in summer. Depending on the variety, they form yellow, black or red berries (actually aggregate stone fruits), which have a high vitamin C content. The bright red and dark ones also contain anthocyanins, which act as antioxidants. Raspberries are popular summer fruits that go well with many desserts, but also taste good on their own.

Growing tips

The raspberry prefers to grow in a wind-protected, semi-shaded to sunny spot in the garden. To ensure a good harvest in the first year, the root balls should be planted in the fall, but they can also be planted in the spring. Before planting, loosen the soil and mix in some compost, as raspberries prefer a loose, humus-rich soil. When planting, the buds should be covered with about 5 cm of soil and a distance of 40 - 50 cm should be maintained between the root balls. Water the root balls well immediately after planting. Depending on how tall your variety grows, you can also build a small scaffold to support the raspberries and make them easier to care for and harvest.
