How much room do you have? And what pH is your soil.
Blue berries need acidic soil. I would imagine your soil is OK, but you may
want to have it tested.

Two types would be OK (don't worry about male/female). I have been told not
to plant black and red raspberries within several hindered feet of each
other (don't know why). Maybe they cross pollinate and lose some of their
flavor. Make sure they are for growing in the North. They grow wild in
Alaska and the UP of Michigan so I know they are available.

I think you can plant them in the spring or fall, but contact your catalog
company and ask them when they recommend you do it. If you dont have
someone to order from, let me know and I will look up some of them for you.

Good luck. Dwayne

Hello All:
I live in the south eastern part of Ontario. Can anyone tell me how
to grow raspberries and blueberries? I heard that you had to have
more than one plant in order for them to survive. Is this true? If
so, which two do I need? Are there male and female plants or is that
a dumb questions? (hey, they have male and female plugs, why not
plants?????) Also, when is the best time to plant them? Any help
would be appreciated. Thanks
