How to Plant and Care for Tahi Black Raspberry Plants
Best Planting Time
- Early Spring or Fall: Plant Tahi Black Raspberry in early spring or fall when the soil is cool and workable. If planting in fall, make sure to plant well before the first frost to allow the plants time to establish roots.
Soil Requirements
- Well-Drained Soil: Raspberries prefer well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Aim for a pH of around 5.5 to 6.5. Improve drainage by mixing organic matter into heavy soils.
Sunlight
- Full Sun: Tahi Black Raspberry Plants need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. The more sunlight they receive, the better the fruit production.
Spacing
- 3-4 Feet Apart: Space the plants at least 3 to 4 feet apart to ensure good airflow and prevent overcrowding. Proper spacing helps reduce the risk of fungal diseases and allows the plants to grow to their full potential.

Pruning and Maintenance
- Pruning: Prune in early spring to remove any dead or damaged canes and to encourage fresh growth. After harvesting, remove the spent canes to make room for new shoots. This helps promote healthy, productive growth.
Support
