Has anyone tried raspberries in a container?
Raspberries?
I have seen raspberries producing fruit in containers at the nurseries, but, the fruit was always small and not very tasty.
I would think that if you grew them in a very large container with lots of humus/forest floor organic material you might have better luck than a nursery.
Water quality is an issue, city water is of low quality (for plants), saved rain water is best but presents its own issues and well water can be OK in most places.
I just stick with flowers for the most part, but, I do grow good tomato plants in earth boxes.
Here's what I have currently. My mom got a bunch of volunteer from a neighbor who had them coming up under the fence. I figured I can't plant them in my yard. My neighbors would not like raspberries coming up under the fence. But, if I can get it to thrive... Since it was free and would have been killed if mom hadn't taken them I figured to foul if it didn't work.
zhinu,
You might want to pinch the top of the plant, to keep it bushy. Raspberries are almost vines and that should keep them from 'rasp-ing' people on the patio. Next summer you should get some fruit.
Dale love the pictures of your containers - what do you have planted in them - looks like bouquets of pink flowers!
Rain Lilies - Habranthus of some sort. Not my containers however.
These are not mine also, Pentas
