THE RASPBERRY

This fruit if well tended will prove full as productive and profitable as the Strawberry, and the care in tending it is about the same. It is a little more trouble in starting, but will last much longer without renewing. No definite rule can be given in regard to the number of years that Raspberries will bear without renewing. From ten to fifteen years, if well tended, is the general average.SFCC 11.1
