I live in Denver and I was wondering what time of year is best to plant Raspberries and Blackberries? As you know it can be 80* here one day and the next day it will be snowing and 15*. Do I plant them now or wait till summer? Please help me. Thanks Diana |
If your plants are bareroot, you can plant them in the ground now. Colorado State University has a publication (#1207) that discusses raspberry culture and you might find it helpful. http://www.ext.colostate.edu/P... I cannot find a similar publication for blackberries so they either won't grow well, or they are so easy to grow the university decided there was no reason to write a publication!
