Keep plants cold and dormant until planting time. Easily stored up to 2 weeks. If the soil is not well drained create raised planting beds 12”-16” wide. Separate Red/Yellow raspberry plants from blackberry/black raspberry by 200 feet to avoid virus problems. Blackberry/Red raspberry-dig a trench deep enough to cover the roots and shallow enough to allow the suckers to easily come up through the covering soil. Take special care during planting to protect blackberry roots from bright sunlight. Roots will often suffer high transplant loss if planted on a bright sunny day. Keep roots in the dark as much as possible. Trim plants back to 2”- 3” after planting.
