Raspberry bushes are perennial plants that produce sweet, red or black berries. They thrive in well-drained soil and require plenty of sunlight to grow. These bushes can reach heights of 3 to 6 feet and often have thorny stems, which can help protect the fruit from animals. Raspberry bushes typically bear fruit in the summer, with some varieties producing a second crop in the fall. They can be grown in gardens or containers and need regular watering. Pruning is essential to maintain their health and encourage better fruit production each year.
