Raspberry - 10 Seeds

Raspberries have a unique growth habit. The plants have a perennial root system and crown, or plant base. But the canes are biennial. Red raspberry plants have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years, while black raspberry plants live for five to 10 years, depending on the presence of pests or adverse environmental conditions.

For summer-bearing raspberries, it takes two years for each cane to produce fruit. Individual canes grow just leaves the first year, produce fruit the second year, and then die. You can cut second-year canes back to the ground after you've harvested all the fruit from them; each cane only produces fruit once.

Raspberry plants grown from seed can take up to 18 months to begin producing fruit but it's worth the wait to have your own home grown raspberries. You can begin harvesting the raspberries in late summer or early fall. Raspberries are ready to be picked when they turn bright red in color.
