How to Use Latham Raspberry in the landscape

Prepare your Latham red raspberry harvest the way you want to. Latham keeps pumping out fresh raspberries for a wonderfully long time.

You can create delicious jams or pies with them, eat them fresh, or freeze them for later. Add plenty to make sure you have enough for smoothies or winter cobblers.

The sweet flavor can rev up a marvelous salsa, or add full-flavored gourmet flair to homemade barbeque sauces. Make your own baby food with homegrown berries. The sky’s the limit!

Create a long-lived patch with several. Raspberries are self-pollinating, but they love having partner plants nearby.

Extend your season with early and late season summer bearers. Plant two to three feet apart and add a sturdy trellis to tie up the raspberry canes.

Make an Edible Landscape by mixing these beautiful plants into your perennial border as a fabulous backdrop. The trellis adds structure, and the white blooms, red berries and burgundy fall foliage are all very showy.

#ProPlantTips for Care

Latham fruits best in full sun. Give it six hours of sunlight a day, and you’ll be rewarded.

Plant well-drained soil. If you have slow drainage, add additional soil and elevate the planting bed.

Provide water during fruit production. Apply a three-inch layer of mulch over the roots to cut down on surface evaporation. Consider adding soaker hoses along your Raspberry plants.

These plants start producing fruit on canes that have overwintered. Harvest your first crop from the old canes in late spring.

After harvest is done, cut out the old canes at ground level. Discard them in your yard waste bin.

Allow the remaining canes to stand overwinter. They can be tip-pruned in late winter for a more compact plant.

Apply a slow-release fertilizer in early spring. Follow label directions for application rates.
