Raspberries are a crop usually thought to require a lot of space, however they are a fruit that can be grown successfully in pots. All types of raspberries are suited to pots, though it is best to choose shorter-growing canes or the modern compact varieties. I had a dwarf ‘Ruby Beauty’ raspberry in a pot that was really low-maintenance and provided me with fruit for several years – I gifted it to my sister and it is still cropping for her.
You do not need lots of raspberry canes to feed a household and, for a small outlay for a handful of bare root raspberry canes in fall, you can get fruits for at least three years. The only potential drawback is they do need a large pot in which to grow and will require regular watering while the canes are forming fruits.
