These varieties produce fruit at the tips of the primocanes. During the second year, they can produce a summer crop on the lower part of the same canes. One problem with this type of raspberry in Minnesota is that in areas with a short growing season, many berries may be lost to early autumn freezes.
Pruning of fall-bearers may be adjusted to allow for both a fall and following summer crop, or to take just the fall crop. The University of Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station has been testing varieties for many years to find those best suited to our climate. This list is based on that research. Most of the varieties on the list are hardy throughout Minnesota; those with hardiness described as "fair" or "poor" will perform best in protected sites and in the southern part of the state.
There are many more varieties available, with more being released every year, that may be hardy to some areas in Minnesota. If winter injury is a concern in your garden, primocane-fruiting varieties may be the best choice. Early spring is the best time to plant raspberries. Choose a planting site that is in full sun.
The plants will grow in part shade, but will not produce as much fruit. Raspberries prefer rich, well-drained soil. A couple inches of compost mixed into the soil prior to planting will create a high quality planting site. Planting raspberries in a row along a fence or wall makes them easy to manage and, best of all, easy to pick.
Or you can grow your raspberries in more of a rounded patch. Either way, space red or yellow raspberry plants every 2 to 3 feet.
Whether you're planting bare-root or potted plants, the key is to keep the crown of the plant 1 or 2 inches above the ground. Allow new primocanes of red and yellow raspberries to spread along the row or in between plants but not wider than 12 inches.
Wider than that and the plants will be difficult to manage and harvest, and more prone to fungal diseases because of slow drying conditions. Because these types do not produce root suckers, they will create what is commonly called a hill. The "hill" is not made by mounding the soil; it refers to the cluster of canes that develops from a single plant. Although black and purple raspberries do not send up new primocanes outside the hill, they can spread. The long, vigorous canes often arch down to the soil surface, where they may take root.
It's important to keep the canes controlled and supported to prevent this. Raspberries need lots of water from spring until after harvest. Because the root system is in the top two feet of soil, watering regularly is better than an occasional deep soaking. Raspberries need 1 to 1.
Use a rain gauge or check reported rainfall, and irrigate accordingly. All types of raspberries require support to prevent the canes from wind damage, bending over, cracking, and getting out of control.
A trellis can be as simple as a couple of posts and twine for a row of plants, or a decorative obelisk, teepee or arbor for individual or mass plantings. Supporting the plants will not only keep them healthier and more productive, but it will also keep them looking nice.
Plant sturdy ornamentals like yarrow, echinacea or rudbeckia, or perhaps herbs or other edibles like kale alongside your raspberries to create a beautiful mixed garden.
These will help support the raspberries and invite beneficial insects into the garden. Raspberry plants are heavy feeders and generally need to be fertilized. Raspberries enjoy a 2- to 3-inch layer of mulch. Good mulches for use in the home garden include leaves, lawn clippings, and wood chips or shavings because they are usually free of weed seeds. Keep the area around the base of raspberry plants free of weeds to prevent them having to compete for water and nutrients.
Keeping the area weeded will also reduce the potential for insect and disease problems. Red and yellow raspberry plants send up shoots or suckers in places you would least expect. If you discover suckers outside the area intended for your raspberry plants, cut them to the ground. Remember, those suckers are attached to spreading roots, so it's a good idea to use a shovel to sever the roots.
This will likely be a regular task for the raspberry grower. Raspberries grow vigorously and need annual pruning.
This keeps the plants looking good, increases productivity and reduces the chance of diseases. After the last harvest, cut all canes that have produced fruit to ground level and remove them. This eliminates a disease source and gives primocanes more room to grow. If only a fall crop is desired, cut all canes off at the base before growth begins in spring.
Fruit will be produced on primocanes in late summer or fall. To get both fall and summer crops, thin the canes as described for summer-bearing raspberries.
The primocanes that produced the fall crop should not be removed, as they will produce fruit the following summer. Prune them back in spring to about 12 inches above the support, or to the last visible node that had fruit, cutting off the dead tips. Raspberries of all colors are ready to pick when their color is developed and the fruit is plump and tender. Another indicator of ripeness is when the fruit comes off the plant easily when gently pulled.
Right after picking, place raspberries in the fridge. If your fridge tends to dry out produce, lightly cover the container. Raspberries don't store for very long, usually just a few days. Don't wash berries until you're ready to eat them; the moisture will cause them to break down more quickly. Keeping plants healthy and well-cared-for is the best strategy for preventing a host of issues.
When issues do arise, it is important to look closely at what you are seeing. Where is the damage located: leaves or fruit, primocanes or floricanes? Correct diagnosis is key in taking the right steps to address problems as they arise.
Rabbits are partial to raspberry canes in winter and will eat them, thorns and all, right down to the ground or the snow line. This is particularly damaging for summer-bearing raspberries, while fall-bearing raspberries are typically mowed down every spring anyway.
A simple chicken wire fence around your raspberry plants should protect them from rabbits throughout the winter. To properly diagnose pest problems on raspberry plants, it is important to understand the normal growth pattern of these plants. When trying to identify what is killing leaves or canes, always check to see if the symptoms are on the primocanes or floricanes.
Since floricanes die in the middle of summer, yellow and dying leaves on floricanes after June is considered normal, but yellow leaves on primocanes may indicate a problem. Diseases can be limited by planting certified disease-free plants, destroying wild or abandoned brambles near the garden, and removing weak and diseased plants in established plantings.
One of the most effective measures is to improve air circulation by proper thinning and pruning and by controlling weeds. Keep an eye out for spots, discoloration, parts of the plants dying, or moldy growth on leaves or fruit. Cane blight is a common reason for the dieback of canes on raspberries. Disease lesions near the base of the cane cutoff water and nutrient transport to the rest of the cane, causing it to die. In ripe fruit, gray mold may not appear until after picking and spreads quickly in a container.
To manage this disease, plant in narrow rows, remove weeds often and thin plantings that have become overgrown. In strawberry patches with a history of gray mold, remove and discard all straw in early spring. Replace with fresh straw or other organic mulch. In raspberries, phytophthora crown and root rot causes canes to die back, due to an infection at the crown, or base, of the canes.
The crown is located at or just beneath the soil surface. Phytophthora infection causes brown discoloration on the outside and inside of the crown.
It thrives in wet soils. Positive confirmation of phytophthora infection is necessary before diagnosing and treating it. Dig up and submit an infected crown to the Plant Disease Clinic for diagnosis. For details, please check with your state.

It can be frozen or used for preserves. It is comparable to the red-colored raspberries that generally taste better than yellow ones.
It harvests in summer but ripens rather late. Golden summit raspberries are large, firm berries golden in color. These are ever-bearing berries available in high yields. They have a great flavor and are known to crop the first season. Mowing it off a few inches above the soil level during the winter would help yield a large fall crop the next season.
Source: Greenhouse. Also known as blackcaps, these are blackish-blue, round, and small raspberries native to Northern US. The rich, unique taste is reminiscent of both red and black raspberries. They bear more varieties than yellow and purple varieties:. Jewel is basically a cross-bred variety between Dundee and Bristol. Bearing a rich raspberry flavor, the large-sized fruit is glossy black in color. According to the New York Fruit Testing Station, these are currently the highest-rated black raspberries.
The strong, sturdy plant offers an early ripening and high resistance to diseases and viruses. It can easily bear harsh winters but it is recommended that you plant it as soon as the soil may be worked in the spring. Normally, the plant produces high yields of firm berries.
To prepare a lively, colorful, and mouth-watering treat, Jewel can be added to baked treats. They may also be preserved and used all year long. Moreover, the variety contains high levels of phytonutrients, as well as some cancer-preventing nutrients. Loganberry is basically a cross between the wild blackberry of the Pacific coast and a red raspberry but is generally classified under black varieties.
It displays large, deep wine-red berries that ripen in July. Introduced by the lawyer and horticulturist, James Harvey Logan, Loganberry is grown in huge quantities in Washington and Oregon as well as in parts of England and Australia. To enjoy the best flavor, they must be allowed to darken into deep-wine to purple color. It is often frozen for preserve or pie stock, canned, or used to make wine.
In addition, Longberries are easy to grow and less demanding. Its vigorous, trailing plant comprises compound leaves of three to five leaflets and prickly canes. Also, they are hardy as well as reasonably resistant to frost and diseases. Source: Loganberry, Degroot. These are good quality, dull black varieties of black raspberry. Its vigorous, hardy plant is more tolerant of poorly drained soils than other plant varieties. What makes the picking easy are its upright growth and cluster formation.
The medium-sized, firm, and glossy fruit offers a delicious black raspberry flavor. The plant is highly vigorous but moderately hardy. It is highly resistant to powdery mildew and bears fruit one year after plantation. Soil level of pH 6. It comprises of tall, spiny canes with very good suckering. Bristol not only offers excellent flavor but also offers high levels of Nutraceuticals which provides valuable nutrients to your body.
