Collection: Bare Root Raspberry Canes

Bare root raspberry canes should be planted during their dormant season, between the months of November and March.

First, soak your bare root plants to help hydrate them, then plant them at a depth of roughly 5-10cm (you should still be able to see the soil mark on the cane, so plant to that depth).

Bare root canes are just another way you can purchase a raspberry plant, the alternative being to buy a potted plant. Bare root canes are lifted out of the ground during the dormant season, then sent to you with exposed roots rather than in a pot with soil.

Your canes will produce fruit, but when they do depends on the variety you’ve planted. Autumn-fruiting raspberry canes yield fruit on the current year’s growth, making them a good pick if you want fruit in the first year. Summer-fruiting canes produce raspberries on the previous season’s growth, so you’ll have to wait a year to get your first crop.
