A live raspberry plant sold in a #2 nursery container (1.5 gallon / 5.7 liter pot), ready for planting in the home garden. The #2 container size is a standard nursery industry designation indicating a well-established root system suitable for transplanting directly into the ground or a larger pot.

Raspberry plants thrive in full sun with well-drained, slightly acidic soil and are prized for producing sweet, flavorful berries during the summer and fall months. Once established, raspberry canes are hardy perennials that return year after year, producing fruit on second-year canes. They are well-suited to a variety of climates and make an excellent addition to edible home landscapes, kitchen gardens, or fruit patches.

Plant in a location that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Water regularly during the growing season and prune canes after fruiting to encourage strong new growth. Plants typically begin producing fruit within one to two seasons after planting.
