NATURE ATTRACTION – Enjoy big, sweet, juicy, brilliant red raspberries right from your garden with these Thornless ‘Canby’ Raspberries. Entirely spineless on the fruit bearing part of the cane, picking couldn’t be easier and life any sweeter!
KEY TIPS – This vigorous hybrid is extremely hardy, long-lived and grows in any soil type! It will provide abundant fruit from mid-summer to fall starting with the 2nd season. A fast grower, that’s easy to maintain due to its lack of spines, it also has thick erect cane that eventually arches to the ground needing little to no support!
SHELF LIFE – Plant into the garden as soon as the ground has thawed enough to dig. 
PREPARATION - Each bag contains 2 bare root plants. Remove each bare root from the plastic bags. Cut away any yellow or brown leaves that may have occurred. Be careful of the prickly areas near the crown of plant. Fruit-bearing portion of cane is spineless.
DETERMINING THE BOTTOM OR TOP OF CLUMPS – These bare roots have roots radiating from the crown and cane above the crown. The roots should be put into the soil facing downward.
GARDEN LOCATION – They like full sun or partial. Dig holes twice the width of the root ball and deep enough to accommodate the roots.
POTTED PLANTS – These prefer to be placed directly in the garden not containers.
SOIL PREPARATION – They will grow in just about any type of soil including clay, sandy soil or otherwise.
PLANTING DEPTH and SPACING - Plant separately spacing about 3-6 feet plus Dig holes twice the width of the root ball and deep enough to accommodate the roots.
Place them in their holes. Pack soil firmly around crown. Full sun or partial sun is needed.
PLANT HEIGHT – They will grow to 5-6 feet on thick erect cane.
SPROUTING TIME - Sprouts in spring. In the ground it takes a little longer if the temperatures are still cool.
WATER - Water thoroughly upon planting and a couple times per week thereafter all summer long.
FERTILIZER – This helps promote new growth and fruit production from year to year. For best results, use a well balanced plant food once in early spring before growth starts and once more when blooms appear. Roberta’s Flower Magic Plant Food (M7503) works exceptionally well.
LIGHTING – Full sun or partial sun is needed.
BLOOMING – These plants will bloom in late spring.
FRUITING - It will provide abundant fruit from mid-summer to fall starting with the 2nd season.
TEMPERATURE ZONE 4 to 8- These are hardy down to a minus 30 degrees below 0.
SEASONAL FALL THINNING – The best time to thin is after the first heavy frost. Prune away canes that have fruited already, leaving those that haven’t untouched.
GROOMING – You may at anytime cut away dead or damaged wood.

TRAINING – You can train one year old cane that did not produce that year if desired. Otherwise they will arch toward the ground without support.
