Do raspberries like full sun? Or do they perhaps prefer partial shade?


I think partial shade works best for them. I had a few raspberry bushes in
a full sun spot and they were literally fighting for survival for three
years until I moved them into the shade created by picket fence (and a
medium size tree for a part of the day). They seem quite happy there, no
yellowing and blooming rather well this year. It would be the first year
in partial shade, so I'm not sure if less sun affects the taste of the
berries, but at least the plants themselves look much healthier there.

That part of the garden is further away from the house, so the soil is not
damaged by all the construction activity 6 years ago. So, perhaps there
are several factors at play here, not just the amount of sun.
