How to grow black raspberry

When to plant black raspberry

NC State Extension describes black raspberry as a deciduous perennial shrub with canes that grow erect to about 6 feet in the first year. No planting date is given, so set out dormant plants in early spring as soon as the ground can be worked, like other brambles.

Black Raspberry is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
