Plant 6–10 feet apart (1.8–3 m). These plants should also not be set too deeply and after planting bare root canes should be cut back to 9” (23 cm).

The young shoots arising from the base of the plant are tied in as they grow and then the old 9” stub can be removed.

Subsequently pruning is similar to raspberries, canes that have fruited are cut out immediately after fruiting.


SITUATION

Sunberry plants do best in a well-drained, fertile, loam soil with moderate water holding capacity. Avoid heavy clay soils. Sometimes you can improve a less desirable site by tiling, increasing organic matter content and building raised beds.
