Joan J Primocane Red Raspberry
Description
Large, delicious, and easy to pick. This thornless raspberry variety produces high yields of tasty, firm berries from stout canes. A terrific choice for northern fruit-gardens. Joan Squire x Teri-Louise. Cold-hardy. Fall-bearing (everbearing) primocane with a summer crop. Floricane berries ripen in July. Primocane berries ripen in September through frost. Self-pollinating. May be covered by USPP #18,954 or other patents.
Note: Do not plant Red, Gold or Purple raspberries within 75-100 feet of Black raspberries. Black raspberries may be more susceptible to viral diseases carried by aphids to and from nearby raspberry plants.
After planting, be sure to prune the bare-root canes back to about 2 inches above the ground. (This does not apply to potted raspberry plants.) Do not skip this step! It is a crucial factor in encouraging the roots to send up new growth during the growing season. It is in the nature of raspberry plants to send up new growth as suckers or basal shoots from below the ground. This means the canes that you plant may not be where you find signs of life or new growth. When it’s time to grow, you will see new sprouts emerge from the ground around where you planted the cane, and this growth is coming from the raspberry plant’s root system.

Pruning for shape is good idea, so they don't overtake the other plants.

Yes, no thorns on mine from Starks Brothers....do not be worried that they come as "small sticks"...they grow quickly asking very little other than some sun, water, and fertilizer in spring. Otherwise, leave them alone and you'll have berries the first year (small amount) but by year 2 on, a very good crop.....sweet, big and not like anything in the store. They spread a bit (like any variety) so put in an area where that is ok....and I love Stark Brothers, my family (Maine) has used them for years; great plants and if rarely an issue, they stand behind you...
Enjoy!
