 Black raspberries grow very much like a black berries. They do not send up runners like the red raspberries, instead they have a mother plant that send up cane. Each cane will grow, producing fruit in it’s second year. After the stem fruits it is cut away to allow room for new stems. A mature plant should be allowed to have 5-8 cane. They do require some form of trellis to keep them off the ground as the do ramble.Â
Caution: you should consider against planting Red, Gold or Purple raspberries within 75-100 feet of Black raspberries. Black raspberries may be more susceptible to viral diseases carried by aphids to and from nearby raspberry plants
