Planting & Care Notes:
If leaves begin to yellow or droop in summer - apply a balanced liquid fertilizer and water well.
This dwarf red raspberry produces abundant new canes each spring and fruits on new canes that have gone through a winter dormancy period. Once fruiting is finished, prune out canes at base that have fruited leaving new canes to fruit the next season.
NOTE: If you choose to plant Raspberry Shortcake™ in the ground, as with any raspberry, take care to plant in an open landscape or garden area where moderate spreading is tolerable. Raspberry Shortcake™ is perfectly suited to large patio containers, and will fill them out no matter the shape!
