Propagating Raspberries

Propagating Raspberries shows you how to take raspberry suckers and make new plants out of them. Propagating Raspberry Canes is the same as Propagating Raspberry plants, which is all Propagating Raspberries

Thank you Todd. You are gardening in my zone which is helpful. Your video is the best I've seen for propagating raspberries from suckers.

[@greatescapefarms]

You are welcome. Glad to have helped.

This "tipping" of the berry plants into soil to encourage it to grow its own root system is VERY awesome!!! I have heard this from NO other channel, but yours!!! THANK YOU!!! This is my first visit to your channel, and I am hoping to come back to listen to more of your videos. Great video and good teaching!!!

[@greatescapefarms]

Thanks for the kind words. By all means, please come back and enjoy the other videos!

[@suzieaguilar397]

Thank you for the invitation and I shall certainly return for more of your informative teaching videos!!

[@fixitup2193]

I tip raspberries all the time

[@OurSoVaLife]

Awesome!! Great video, thanks

[@greatescapefarms]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@BrigitteCoffman]

Excellent demo! 🪴

[@greatescapefarms]

Thank you very much :)

[@joemercieca4794]

Interesting. I did everything you did without watching the video. I have never grown raspberries before but plant division is one of the best techniques for propagation.

[@greatescapefarms]

It absolutely is - the root system has already started.

[@PrairieJournals]

thank you for this, going out to do this now lol.

[@greatescapefarms]

You are welcome.

[@gonzalogarcia187]

Tipping will work on raspberries too as long as you cut off the leaves you're burying. just leave some stems and it should root in about 3 weeks at which point you can cut that stem off the mother plant

[@greatescapefarms]

I'll have to try that. Thanks!

[@kristinpotter7482]

Also instead of composting what you trim off of the suckers after replanting you could use to make raspberry leaf tea

[@greatescapefarms]

Yum. That sounds good. Thanks!

[@eliakimjosephsophia4542]

Sounds like it's best to do it in Spring.

[@greatescapefarms]

Thats when I usually do it.

[@Elevate2Wealth]

As a bigginer gardener can I ask which soil do rasberrys best grow in? As I think I've previously used ericaceous compost mixed in with normal soil and had a really good crop? But now looking at more videos I can't seen to find this anywhere

[@greatescapefarms]

Raspberries like soil that is more acid than alkaline. They absolutely love a lot of compost and specifically leaf litter around their base.

[@constancelovejoy7308]

Yes, u can tip layer raspberries 😊

[@greatescapefarms]

Thanks for the tip. I'll have to try that this year.

[@mrsimslam1296]

Do I do this when there small I have one that’s just coming out of the ground. And how do I stop the leaves going black

[@greatescapefarms]

The leaves will go back if you have more top than bottom - what I mean by that is if you have few roots and a lot of stalk. This is normal and happens to me as well, but once the roots are established, it straightens itself out.

[@deplorabledixie2834]

Thank you for the video. Where did you get your gloves?.. they look pretty cool and like they would work well..

[@greatescapefarms]

They are garden/work gloves from the hardware store. I believe the orange ones are from Home Depot and I have the exact same thing (but they are blue) from Lowes.

[@deplorabledixie2834]

@@greatescapefarms thank you! I got some from amazon that looked sturdy and somewhat like yours (after seeing your video) but unfortunately the thorns go right through if I grab the stalk...so definitely need to find something better!

[@greatescapefarms]

@@deplorabledixie2834 The gloves I used worked for the (my) raspberry thorns but would not have worked with blackberry thorns or rose thorns. You'll have to experiment with gloves based on the thorns on your plants.

[@deplorabledixie2834]

@@greatescapefarms That's good to know. So far I'm only dealing with wild raspberry plants, the thorns are little but so piercingly sharp and they made it through the leather fingers of my amazon gloves. Thanks for all your help, I'm gonna try to find your exact gloves and see if they work a little better!

[@greatescapefarms]

@@deplorabledixie2834 Good luck!

[@angelenerash5160]

Why can they not be replanted right away? No strong root system? I replanted 3 suckers last year directly after digging up and they all died.

[@len897]

You should try giving them a transparent cover like plastic to maintain high humidity, temperature and minimum sunglight. You should see success !

[@greatescapefarms]

You can transplant them directly into the ground. The mistake most make is they put the suckers in full sun and there is not root system to keep them hydrated - so they dehydrate and die out. You would need to keep them moist on a regular basis and in mostly shade. After about a month you can back off on the water and allow more sun. In a pot, I can move them to as much shade as they need and put them in a place that I remember to water them regularly.

[@younglivingoilsbycarriepar8019]

When will you plant the sucker that you removed and repotted into the garden? If you don’t remove the sucker will it produce fruit next year?

[@greatescapefarms]

I usually sell the suckers off in my nursery. If I left them in the ground, they will fruit in place.

[@fallenangel7742]

Hiw long it take to spring after winter?

[@greatescapefarms]

They usually take right off.

[@SpeedDeamon95]

Zone 7, so you guys could be from Oklahoma??

[@greatescapefarms]

Mid-Atlantic region actually - MD/WV area.

[@triinpokk9198]

Dry the leaves. Use them for yummi tea. Don't compost them. They are rich in magnesium and good for reproductive system.

[@greatescapefarms]

Thanks!

[@arjowanmustafa6133]

What would happen if I keep the suckers alone please waiting for your reply thank u

[@grzegorz16100]

It will grow...

[@arjowanmustafa6133]

Gregory May thank you

[@greatescapefarms]

If you leave the suckers, they will grow - as Gregory points out. The issue with that is they will continue to spread and spread. If you have a large area and can tolerate the spread, then by all means let them go - they will be happy.

[@BurkenProductions]

Why throw away that big one you cut off? Just take off the two bottom leaf nodes and put it in a pot to see if it grow roots

[@greatescapefarms]

That may work. With well established raspberry plants there is usually enough excess that you can just take the best of the best.

[@waynelacher6017]

I didn’t prune plant and there starting to grow

[@greatescapefarms]

Cool.

[@bad_boy8269]

I think you need a bigger pot

[@greatescapefarms]

Thanks. I've done pretty good with removing some of the suckers and selling them at my nursery. The remaining plants fruit quite well once thinnned.

[@fluffmcmuff6801]

Should you still "trim the tip off" if your raspberry isn't Jewish? (2:32)

[@greatescapefarms]

:)

[@portugeeprepper6821]

Thanks for sharing! Raspberries are definitely one of the easiest plants to propagate. If you have some time check out my channel on backyard homesteading. Thanks

[@greatescapefarms]

Thanks!
