Popular types

For one fall crop cut all canes during dormancy; for two crops retain healthy lower sections after removing spent tips.
Choose nursery stock adapted to local hardiness, season length and disease pressure.
Use cultivar- and rootstock-specific spacing rather than treating a planning value as universal.
Water during establishment and avoid overcropping young plants.
Plant dormant canes in spring at their nursery depth, about 2-3 feet apart, and prioritize root growth in the first season.
Supply about 1-2 inches of water weekly during fruit development and mulch without burying cane bases.
Feed in early spring rather than late summer, which encourages tender growth before winter.
Trellis summer-bearing canes and remove them after fruiting; mow fall-bearing types in late winter only if growing a fall-only crop.
Pick berries when they slip easily from the receptacle, and remove damaged fruit promptly to limit spotted-wing drosophila.

Use local perennial planting guidance; spacing and bearing age vary with cultivar, nursery stock and training system.
