Thank you! Wow good news.

If it fails let me know, keep us updated. What is the name (cultivar)?

It's called an Ever bearing Jaclyn? Is that what you mean, I am a city girl who has always wanted a green thumb and tend to love my plants and flowers to death! Lol

Thank you I am encouraged! You have been so helpful- Also I have to container garden due to tiny yard but I bought a big pot for her and was told use acidic soil. Your thoughts?

They like a slightly acidic soil, so it is fine. Tap water is very basic so having an acidic soil helps. The current canes are probably from last year. Limit new canes to 2 or 3 canes in a pot. Cut off any others. Don't let it produce a bunch of canes. It should fruit on any new canes in the fall. The first year it might be behind and the season runs out before berries ripen. This happens sometimes the first year. These plants can have two harvests, but since it is in a pot I would only take one harvest. 1st year canes (primocanes) produce a crop on the upper third of plant. if cane is left, it will produce a 2nd crop the next summer. I would advise in a pot to forgo this crop. It will be too crowded. So at the end of the season after fruit ripens in the fall. Remove all canes right to the ground. The next spring it will grow new canes and start the cycle over. If it has overhead protection leave the pot outside.
Keep it moist not wet. I don't know where you are, so have no idea what winter advice to give.
Right now I would let the soil become dry on top before watering. Don't over water.

You have been most helpful! I so appreciate you taking the time out of your day to share your wisdom I will probably be reading this several times to let it all sink in! ! Lol I am in Central PA and we are having a late frost this weekend but I am hopeful that after the warm weather will come back next week.

Drew really knows his stuff, so you are getting good advice. I just wanted to wish you well and tell you that its worth the work...there is something special about eating fruit you grow yourself, and you'll be surprised how much better it will taste than store bought berries. All raspberries are definitely NOT created equal! Good luck. Keep us posted.

Thank you so much!! You are such nice peopIe so refreshing! I grew up in Boston so never had much chance to appreciate the gardening experience. Last year was my first ever garden. I planted 27 tomato and cucumber plants by my tiny walkway for my family of 3...OH MY GOSH! We could not get to the door! Lol but I was so delighted to get the crops and everyone on the block received the overflow... So this year I wanted fruit. My blueberry looks good and strawberry also its just the poor raspberry plant. But I will not give up! :)

Hi...i got Jaclyn growing outside, all my other raspberries growing like mad, suckers galore on some.....Jaclyn just started putting out green buds this week and no suckers showing up yet but that don't mean nothing, most of the growth on raspberry is under the soil until the root system is established then suckers pop up like crazy, Drew is right even with the cold weather lately my raspberries are still throwing out suckers overnight as long as they don't go dormant they still keep growing....i'll keep u abreast of my progress as the season moves along

Hey green did the Crimson Night ever start? If not I'll send another.

Hey Drew...nothing above soil showing life yet, u got enuff suckers coming already i'll surely take it if u can spare......btw drew ur privacy settings don't allow other peeps here like me to send you a message like the old site...just so you know, u prob already know...thanx
