Summer Bearing Raspberry Bushel and Berry® Raspberry Shortcake®, Raspberry Bushel and Berry® Raspberry Shortcake®, Red Raspberry Bushel and Berry® Raspberry Shortcake®, Rubus idaeus Ruby Beauty, Rubus 'NR7' PP22141, CPBR#4580
Perfect for small gardens and containers, Rubus idaeus Bushel and Berry® Raspberry Shortcake® (Red Raspberry) is a compact dwarf, self-pollinating, slightly cascading, thornless shrub that gives high yields of sweet red raspberries. Clusters of white, rose-like flowers give way to full-size berries which ripen in early to mid-summer. Self-supporting, no staking required. Great for patios and balconies where this charming rounded shrub is sure to add a little burst of brilliant color.
- Grows up to 2-3 ft. tall and wide (60-90 cm).
- A full sun to part shade lover, this plant is best grown in organically rich, slightly acidic, moist but well-drained soils. Raspberries dislike waterlogged soils and shallow chalky soils. For best results, plant in a sheltered, sunny position. They will tolerate light shade, but the yield is likely to be reduced.
- Raspberries are usually planted in rows and trained along a post and wire system. But, if you have a smaller garden, you can still grow raspberries, either in containers or trained up a single post
- Fall is the best time to plant raspberries.
- Prune in summer immediately after fruiting. Cut back the tips of everbearers that fruited last fall (top 1/3 of the canes) but leave the rest of the cane for summer fruiting. Remove the canes completely after they have fruited over their entire length to encourage the production of new canes. Promptly remove excess new plants and suckers to control spread.
- In late winter, remove any canes damaged by winter and thin, as needed, the remaining canes.
- Can get aphids, glasshouse red spider mites, raspberry leaf and bud mites, leafhoppers, and raspberry beetle. May be affected by powdery mildews, raspberry cane blight, raspberry rust, raspberry spur blight, or raspberry viruses.
- Propagate from suckers.
