## Description

The September Red Raspberry Plant is an everbearing producer with medium to large, dark red colored fruit when ripe with a tart raspberry flavor. The canes are vigorous, hardy growers that need support. Use a simple T-bar trellis or double-wire system to keep the plants upright and prevent them from bending or breaking. The September Raspberry is also resistant to Mosaic, and a good choice for colder climates, that bears lightly in June and heavily in September. Because the "September" raspberry is highly cold-hardy, it will easily survive the winter. However, some areas with very hot summers will need to provide the canes with some afternoon shade to prevent the berries from sun-scald.

## More information

Raspberries thrive in rich, well-draining soil. Mix in a few inches of well-rotted compost or manure to improve drainage and naturally balance the soil. The slightly acidic soil range allows the roots to absorb essential nutrients efficiently while preventing problems like iron chlorosis.
