One plant will produce a multi-stemmed clump, so it can be a space-saver and will not spread as much as red or yellow raspberries. and thrives in Zones 4-8. Space plants 2-3 feet apart. Care Full sun aspect or shade only early and late in the day. Tip prune in the summer to about 30 inches to maintain a bushy shape, and remove old canes after they’ve fruited.
