Raspberry plants are at one of two distinct stages in August. It is towards the end of harvest time for summer-bearing raspberries, while fall-bearing canes are starting to ripen their fruits. The types of raspberries you have impact what attention they need this month.
In a nutshell, both types need picking, watering, and weeding, while summer-bearing raspberries also need pruning and tying in. You wouldn’t want to trim fall-bearing raspberries, though, as you’ll miss out on fruit – a regrettable mistake.
