There are two main types of raspberry canes: summer-fruiting and autumn-fruiting. By cultivating both types, gardeners can enjoy a bountiful harvest spanning several months.

Summer-fruiting raspberry canes (floricanes):

• Typically grow to heights of at least 1.8m (6ft).
• Require a space of 40cm (16in) between plants with a gap of 1.5m (5ft) between rows.
• Need to be supported on posts and wires.
• Produce fruit on the two year old cane so new plants begin fruiting from their second summer onwards.
• Produce berries from early to late summer, depending on the variety.

Autumn-fruiting raspberry canes (primocanes):

• Generally more compact, reaching heights of 1.2-1.5m (4-5ft).
• Require a space of 40cm (16in) between plants with a gap of 1.5m (5ft) between rows.
• Do not necessarily need supporting in sheltered gardens.
• Can also be grown in pots.
• Notably easier to prune.
• Bear fruit from late summer until the first frosts. 
• Produce berries on the one year old cane so new plants produce a crop in their first year after planting.

Are you concerned about the space required for raspberry canes? We understand completely. While traditional summer fruiting varieties can be vigorous and need to be supported on posts and wires, we also offer compact autumn fruiting cultivars that are perfect for smaller gardens and can be grown without the need for support in sheltered gardens. You don’t need an expansive plot to enjoy these luscious berries.

Raspberries require well-drained soil as they are prone to root rot in waterlogged conditions. If your garden has heavy clay or tends to retain water, consider planting raspberries in a raised bed to improve drainage and create a more suitable environment.
