    Has anyone ever been successful in growing raspberries in a container. I have no room for them in my garden but would love to grow some. If anyone has managed it which variety do you recommend? Thanks

    Hi Revnick,

    Not tried it but its not a deep rooted plant so it should be ok. Got 3 blackcurrants in containers at the moment & they are doing ok.

    I would think you'd need at least a 10" pot though.

    Hi

    Plantoffer.com are offering a Raspberrie collection free at the mo 3 canes which should fruit early mid and late summer and Iwas wondering if I would be able to plant them all in 1 container - I've never seen a raspberrie bush grown before

    I love this site everyone so helpful but I think I need my own section on here just for Becks questions lol

    Hey Becks...there is no site at Plantoffer.com..

    Raspberries grow on canes, can be tied to supports if you wish..Upto around 6ft in height.

    Steve...:)

    I have a golden raspberry in a 40cm balconniere. Seems to be very happy, it's been in there a couple of years and is doing great.
