Growing and Maintenance Tips:


This native plant grows best in sunny conditions with a slightly dry, sandy soil. It can be seen growing wild in abandoned fields and along forest edges.

Avoid planting raspberries in places where anything in the tomato family has been planted; they are susceptible to some of the same diseases.
