The Raspberry Shortcake Raspberry is a fantastic bush that is completely thornless, so it’s fun to grow. It grows no more than 3 feet tall, so it doesn’t need support and can be grown right in your shrub and flower beds, and in pots and planters too. Yet it produces a good crop of full-sized delicious berries that are beautiful to see and to eat, with classic raspberry flavors, and the perfect balance of tart and sweet. Eat your home-grown berries fresh, in salads and desserts, or baked into delicious muffins, tarts and cakes.
Full sun and rich, moist but well-drained soil will give the best results from the Raspberry Shortcake Raspberry. It is usually free of serious pests or diseases, and is resistant to viruses. Simply remove the old canes after you pick the last berries from them, leaving new canes to grow and fruit the following year. For planters, make sure they have drainage, and use a blended potting soil for outdoor pots, mixed with a small amount of garden soil. Feed regularly with liquid tomato food, or a fertilizer for fruit bushes.
