Fruits and Vegetables, Trees and Shrubs

Sow immediately when fruits ripen, or stratify 3 months in fridge. Tip layer in late summer; or propagate by simple layering. Remove and replant new plantlets in spring; place in 6" hole and fill half way, continuing to fill during growing season. Rich soil should be well-drained, very slightly acidic is ideal; full sun and sheltered location appreciated. Difficult to propagate from cuttings; take tip cuttings in spring. Zone 2-9 Remove and plant up healthy suckers in late fall, when shoots are dormant. These are biennial for red and yellow raspberries, although the original plant is perennial. Purchased plants should be planted very early in spring, and set 2" deeper than previously
