Bristol Black Raspberry produces abundant black raspberries mid-season with excellent flavor. The fruit is firm, large and delicious, and can be harvested in July. Whether you are eating fresh off the vine, making preserves, or freezing, you’ll have an abundance of extra flavorful berries. Bristol Black Raspberry grows as a perennial in USDA zones 5-8.

Bristol Black Raspberry Care  

Plant Bristol Black Raspberry in the spring after all danger of frost has passed. Select an open area where your black raspberries will have plenty of room to grow, in a full sun location for best fruit production. The mature height is 4-5 ft and 3-4 ft wide, so space plants to allow easy access to the fruit from all sides. 

Growing Bristol Black Raspberry 

Select a sunny area that has well-draining, nutrient-rich soil with plenty of organic matter added.  Raspberries prefer a soil pH between 6 - 6.8. Bristol Black Raspberries reach heights of 4-5 ft and 3-4 ft wide and grow on very sturdy stems. If needed, provide a simple trellis to keep the heavy fruiting canes up off the ground. If growing a black raspberry patch versus a single plant, space plants approximately 3 feet apart, and avoid crowding so they don’t have to compete for sunlight and vital soil nutrients. 

After planting, topdress the soil with a couple of inches of organic compost to keep weeds at bay and help retain soil moisture. Before canes bear fruit, attaching garden netting to stakes will protect your harvest from birds and other critters.  

Watering Bristol Black Raspberry 

Keep an eye out for dry soil, and water deeply and thoroughly weekly, particularly during the hottest summer months. 

Feeding Bristol Black Raspberry 

Apply a water-soluble fertilizer specifically formulated for raspberries on new or established plantings throughout the growing season. Choose a formula that strengthens roots and stimulates fruit production.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
