[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 529763, member: 11791"] Lisa - Raspberries, in particular, come in different classifications. There's to major splits: - fruit on new canes, or fruit on second-year canes... the latter give more fruit, but are harder to trim, you have to keep track of which canes are new (for next years fruit) - s uckering or non-s uckering - the first, are the ones that take over - the others don't - I have a whole row of the latter, never had a problem, except for one plant that wasn't "as advertised"... and IT is taking over, so this year it will be transplanted to an area where we WANT it to take over... ALL berries take room. Canes (raspberry etc.) do best along a fence or wall so you can tie them up. We've never had problems with our dogs and the thorns, but ... ours have always been heavy double-coated, so maybe they didn't notice? But... commercial canes don't have the aggressive thorns that wild ones do. Stawberries are low to the ground, and should not be planted where they will be shaded by other plants. [/QUOTE]
