SOIL

“The Black Raspberry and its varieties succeed in both light and heavy soils, (although they prefer the former), and in the most Northern, as well as in the Southern States.”-Fuller.SFCC 11.4

If the soil be heavy, it should be well drained, and ditched so that no standing water will remain after rains. The land should, unlike that of the Strawberry, be quite rich, as the yield of berries depends upon the growth of the canes.SFCC 11.5
