Cindy starts with ... I also came across this plant in the nursery today but there was nothing on it to tell me how to grow it and it's eventual height. I always thought that Raspberry like a trellis or support to climb on but this tree had a long stem with leaves on the top Could it be planted in a pot successfully?

Benno says... I've just recently bought a Summer fruiting raspberry too, I'm curious about what soil mix would be best for encouraging healthy growth and fruiting in the Melbourne climate. some of the leaves on my plant are starting to curl and turn yellow, yet i've only watered it, and am yet to repot it into a larger pot with a trellis. can anyone tell me why this is? is it due to wind or pests? thanks! | About the Author Benno West Melbourne 30th January 2008 2:25pm #UserID: 627 Posts: 4 View All Benno's Edible Fruit Trees |
Kath says... It could have dried out, once potting mix dries out it can be difficult to re-wet, water will run freely through the mix without the plant receiving very much of it. Try dunking the pot into a bucket of water until the bubbles stop rising. Repot into a lager pot in good quality mix. They like a slightly acidic, rich soil with lots of humus and good potassium levels. Loamy soils with a PH of 4.5 - 7 are ideal. | About the Author Kath Cawongla 31st January 2008 7:18am #UserID: 2 Posts: 363 View All Kath's Edible Fruit Trees |
