Jewel Black Raspberry Plant Care
This self-pollinating, sturdy variety is grown in USDA Hardiness zones 4-8. Raspberry plants grow and establish quickly, and require 1-2 years to bear fruit. Jewel Black Raspberries prefer a soil pH level between 6.0 - 6.8.
Plant this raspberry in full sun for best fruit production, in well-draining loam soil. Avoid planting Jewel Black Raspberry in clay soils, and amend poor, compact soils with compost if necessary. Allow plenty of space between plants for proper growth, and provide support for the canes for easy harvesting.
Growing Jewel Black Raspberry Plant
Jewel Black Raspberries will thrive when planted in a sunny spot with well-draining soil. When Jewel Black Raspberry is mature, it reaches heights of 4-5 ft tall and 3-4 feet wide. This plant needs adequate spacing for sunlight, airflow, and harvesting, so space plants at least 4 ft apart to ensure room for growth.
Plants can get weighted down with a heavy crop, so you will need to create a simple trellis or fence to keep canes and fruit off the ground and to support the plant for easy harvesting.
Watering Jewel Black Raspberry Plant
Water Jewel Black Raspberry regularly and deeply from spring throughout the fall harvest. Raspberries need at least 1 - 1 1/2 inches of water (natural or rainfall) per 7-10 day period from flowering until harvest. Prevent roots from becoming waterlogged by checking a few inches down into the soil to determine moisture levels before watering.
Feeding Jewel Black Raspberry Plant
Top dress this plant with 2 inches of organic compost or well-rotted manure around each plant in spring to conserve moisture and feed the soil. Raspberry plants can be fed with an organic, water-soluble, liquid fertilizer specifically formulated for berry production, following the application instructions on the label.

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.
