Pruning & Care
As this is a bare root plant, soak the roots for at least 2 hours before planting, after they arrive. Plant as soon as you can. If the ground is frozen, place into a temporary pot that's filled with decent compost- once conditions have improved, move the raspberry plant to the ground.
Keep the plant well-watered during dry weather.̴Ì?
All the Raspberry Autumn Bliss plant requires is a prune of the old wood in late Winter, along with tying back the new canes with supports. Fruits will grow on new canes the following year.
