FLORICANE RASBERRY - These raspberries fruit on second year wood. Prune after fruiting, but only remove the canes that have already produced fruit. Provide a trellis or frame at planting to contain growth and for ease of harvest. Improve soil with compost prior to planting. Apply compost annually in spring. Water during long dry periods and during fruiting.
