Willamette vs meeker raspberry

Raspberries are prolific plants that come in either summer-fruiting or fall-fruiting varieties. You can even get modern dwarf types that are suitable for growing in pots.

Whichever type of raspberries you grow, it is important to plant them at the right time of year.

Raspberries tend to be available as bare-root plants or container-grown ones.

The former are commonly seen in fall and spring, when it's fine to plant them. Potted raspberry plants, however, are available to purchase - and subsequently plant - all year round.

The amount of care and maintenance required to establish your plants will vary depending on the time of year they are planted, as our experts explain.
