What climate does raspberries grow in?

Answer 1

Raspberries grow in a moist, temperate climate; they are native to Western Europe and the Eastern United States. Wild raspberries will naturally bloom through the summer but the fruit is now commercially produced year-round. Raspberry bushes need ample sunlight and water, fertilized soil and lots of space where they can take over--because they will.

Raspberries are often planted in the winter, while dormant, and need a raised bed for better drainage (they are prone to root rot). The plant should be fertilized from the spring until the fruit blooms, mid-summer through early fall. It is ripe for picking when it reaches a full red (purple or black) color and falls easily off the stem.

Answer 2

Raspberries thrive in a temperate climate with cool winters and moderate temperatures during the growing season. They typically prefer regions with plenty of sunlight and well-draining soil. Some varieties can withstand slightly colder climates with good winter protection.
