Comments (15)I would not recommend black raspberries as a hedge, unless you want to hurt visitors. They are just a ugly thorny canes. I have the scarred arms every year from picking the quarts of yummy berries. The black raspberry canes never stay in one place. I keep cutting the cane tips with the lawn mower and they dig them self into the ground. I'm always surprised every spring how many new plants I have to dig up and move. I have tried to grow red raspberries, no luck. Only one year did the black raspberry canes have rust. I lost one big hill. Half high blueberry bushes might be a thought....See Morered raspberries and black raspberries
Comments (7)I ended up putting my black and red raspberries next to each other. It has been two years now and I have not seen any disease problems. My black raspberries fruit before the reds and overlap a bit with the first crop on my reds but my reds are everbearing and I prune them to get both crops. Rabbits love raspberry plants and even the nasty thorns on the black raspberries don't stop them. If you have summer bearing reds then you'll need to protect the canes over the winter or you won't get berries since they fruit on second year canes. You'll need to protect the black raspberries too since they also fruit on second year canes. Both types of raspberries spread easily, so I would leave a space between them and the veggie garden. Reds spread underground through runners and end up taking over anything planted near them. Blacks are a bit more manageable as they spread by tip rooting so you only have to keep the tips of the canes from touching the ground if you don't want more plants. You can do this through a combination of trellising and pruning....See MoreSummer-bearing raspberries worth it? Other raspberry suggestions
Comments (25)Thanks for the info in this thread. I would like to grow more raspberry cultivars, and found the info useful. Although I must disagree with some users about Fallgold. I have grown it a few years and it is by far my favorite variety. It tastes so different than any other raspberry. Amazing jam from it. Everybody whom has tried it loved them. I have not tried many cultivars, so I may change my mind, but if this is bad, I can't wait to try Anne and KiwiGold (I ordered both for this spring). Hard for me to believe they could possibly taste better than Fall Gold. Kiwi Gold sounds like it tastes like Fall Gold. Apricot flavor does describe the flavor. More apricot than raspberry flavor if you ask me, but does have a blend of both. What yellow cultivars are commercially sold? I tasted one, it was not marked as to what it was, and it was terrible. I ate 3 or 4 and threw them out. I guess it's possible the soil and conditions make a world of difference. Again thanks all. Has anybody tried Cascade Gold? A Summer bearing yellow! I would love to know any opinons......See MoreThomas
