Understanding Raspberry Growth HabitsRaspberries are soft, edible fruits with clusters of juice-filled, seeded drupes surrounding a stem portion called a torus or core. The plants have roots, crowns, and canes.
The roots are hidden underground and the crowns sit at soil level, where the roots and stems meet. Roots and crowns are perennial.
The canes are long, unbranched stems that live for two years. They range in height from three to nine feet, depending upon the species or cultivated variety.
There are two types: primocanes and floricanes.
Primocanes are soft, first-year stems that sprout in the spring.
Floricanes are woody second-year stems.
In addition, there are three types of raspberries:
Summer-Bearing Fall-Bearing EverbearingSummer-bearing types flower and fruit on floricanes from early to late summer.
Fall-bearing plants bloom and set fruit on primocanes from late summer to frost. We prune them post-harvest.
