This is typical. Raspberries grow like weeds once established.

Time to let the neighbours/friends and family loose. I love all fruit but nothing beats a raspberry

This motivates me to buy raspberry plant next year.

You can put in rhizome barriers to contain your monster

We dug our raspberry bushes up and I miss them!
chocolatechipwizard
Use your lawnmower to mow down a third or a half of it, let that come back to production again, and mow the older portion. It’s the lazy way to have healthy raspberry plants, and you won’t be losing anything, since you have more than enough berries anyway.

Share some canes with friends so they can start their own patches. Win-win.

You mean it´s YET 40% bigger than last year

Oh wow! I wish we had space for this. Right now I’m growing blueberries and blackberries in big containers on the patio.
Our patio ends right before a little clearing, a bit of woods, and then a stormwater retention pond. Do raspberries need a lot of light? I wonder what would happen if I “accidentally” planted some in the woods?
Enjoy your haul!!

Let me know when the blue ones come in. Blue raspberry is my favorite

Are you complaining?
amlovesmusic88
Are these thornless raspberries? If not, how do you get to the ones in the center? Or are those the sacrificial ones for the birds?

Any tips for harvesting the middle of the patch?
Which-Confection5167
How do you harvest them? Do you clear a path through the middle?

Can you just mow it in the winter?

It’s not out of control, it is now in control of EVERYTHING.

Take some cuttings and put in qt size pots. Keep thru winter and sell in spring.
I did same thing with strawberries and plantssold well

Looks like you have money growing in your back yard.

Jealous!
ninjarockpooler
Oooh that’s even bigger than my patch
They are a super resilient and productive fruit (compared to all the others)
Do you have a local community larder or food bank? I’m sure they would be super popular.

Is this a thorned raspberry bush?
Edited to add: for context to why I’m asking, I’m pretty sure we’re going to go with a thornless variety next year as we have kids and I’m not really into wading or pruning or picking through thorns, but I want a lot of berries and I’m nervous they may not produce as well.

Sounds like a real jam.

What other berries do you have?
SubsumeTheBiomass
This… Is bigger? 29 gallons last year?! Jeepers you may have to open a winery at this rate.

I would almost cut paths into them so you can better reach the center for easier collection lol

My partner and I cleared a raspberry patch, we ended up getting about 8 wheel barrows full of weeds and old dead berry stocks. We staked and tied about 27 raspberry “trees” now we can walk through it and actually pick berries all around, instead of what we can reach.
janaenaenae21
so when can i come over??? you lucky dog!
Uzzaw21
Honestly, you need to thin that patch and create rows where you can walk between the canes and better pick the berries.

As someone that planted raspberry, blackberry, and blueberry bushes this year, I have a question! Did you plant these or were they already there? If planted, how many did you plant to start and how long before you had what you have now? Thanks!!
