You might think that a black raspberry would be a blackberry, but when you taste the fruits you will be in no doubt – they are raspberries. If you live in a hot area, you will need to provide light shade to enjoy good quality fruit. Otherwise, plant them in full sun. Raspberries like a moist but well-drained soil. After fruiting, cut out the new canes and prune your main cane back to four buds in winter.
