The Rubus idaeus L. is native to North Americaand grows from northern Europe to northwestern Asia. It is frequently found along the edges of swamps and bogs. It is also commonly found after burnings, clearings, or other disturbances. It grows great in a well-drained loamy environment in a sunny or somewhat shaded location. It is not picky about the pH texture of the soil and can survive a good sized range of it. [http://www.gardenguides.com/taxonomy/american-red-raspberry-rubus-idaeus/] | |||
If you are trying to maintain an American red raspberry bush, you should take into consideration the following: | |||
1) Prune the branches to stimulate new growth and production of the fruit for the next season (every year). [http://www.gardenguides.com/taxonomy/american-red-raspberry-rubus-idaeus/] | |||
2) Occasional burnings would be helpful to stimulate new growth as well. [http://www.gardenguides.com/taxonomy/american-red-raspberry-rubus-idaeus/] | |||
3.) Since these plants grow so well in moist conditions, if there was a drought, you would need to keep watering the ground to make sure your raspberry bush gets enough water. [http://www.gardenguides.com/taxonomy/american-red-raspberry-rubus-idaeus/] | |||
