Rubus 'Raspberry': Raspberry Shortcake

This plant requires full sun to produce a harvest of berries, however in our hot Charleston climate, it might need partial shade in the afternoon.

Consistent moisture is needed, but avoid overwatering, as they are sensitive to soggy soil.

After harvest, prune down older, fruited canes to the ground; remove dead canes in early spring. We suggest Bond Bypass Pruner.

Apply an all-purpose fertilizer in early spring and again in summer. We suggest Espoma Citrus Tone. 

Proper nutrition is important to the health of your plant and its longevity. To ensure your plant is getting the appropriate nutrition, use a fertilizer labelled for this plant type and apply according to the label.
