How to care for raspberry Sweet Sunshine:
When planting, incorporate some well-rotted organic matter (compost or manure) into the planting hole plus a scoop of mycorrhizal fungi to aid root establishment. Once established, 'Sweet Sunshine’ will produce fruit on the previous year’s stems, so cut down any raspberry canes that have already fruited in November - leaving the remaining canes to fruit during the coming growing season. Any shoots that develop during the new season will produce fruit in the following year.
Please note:
This plant is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
