Got the propagation station going in my basement storage room. Black Raspberry from my farm. 3 separate plants all that had sweet large ripe berries this last spring. I plan to give these to farm neighbors that don’t already have an established patch.
The ones with leaves are from a blackberry variety in my parents back yard. They were started about 4 weeks before the raspberries. They have little tiny roots. They woke up really fast compared to the raspberries. I also lost 75% of them and these are the survivors. They got something that killed quick while under the clear dome. I cleaned and washed everything and am trying the best looking black raspberry cuttings under it now. Hence why I took so many cutting. I’m gonna try and get some more blackberry cuttings, they were my original target.
Any and all advice would be hugely appreciated. This is my first time and it is all piled together from internet sources.
Thanks for looking!

Where are you located? It is very easy to propagate black raspberries. The plants have a vigorous growth habit. I had success leaving them each in one-gallon pots in an unheated garage last winter. Rarely needed to water. New leaves appeared at the beginning of spring.
Looks awesome!
