. Raspberries
(Rubus occidentalis ) make a suitable fruit crop for gardeners within U.S.
Department of Agriculture Plant Hardiness Zones 4 to 8, since they
require a climate offering moist, somewhat cool conditions. Most
commercially available raspberry shrubs are propagated vegetatively, but
gardeners can successfully grow the plants at home using fresh seeds.
Seed-grown raspberry plants possess the same potential for fruit
production as those grown from cuttings, but with more variable results
in the abundance and quality of the fruit. Nonetheless, it is a simple
and effective means of creating a new shrub when fresh cuttings are
unavailable.1Place
fresh, ripe raspberries in a mesh colander. Set the colander in a sink.
Crush the berries against the side of the colander while running water
over them.2Pick
out the tiny, light-brown seeds from the crushed flesh. Drain the
raspberry seeds on a sheet of paper towel while you prepare the planting
container.3Fill
a 2-inch-deep nursery tray with sterile, low-nutrient seed-starting
compost. Spray the compost liberally with a water-filled spray bottle
until it feels moist throughout.4Space
the raspberry seeds 1 inch apart on the surface of the seed-starting
compost. Press the seeds firmly onto the surface of the compost with
your palm. Cover them with a very thin layer of medium-grit sand.5Place
the nursery tray outdoors in a ventilated cold frame that stands
against a shaded, north-facing wall. Leave the tray under those
conditions for the winter months to cold stratify, which will break the
seeds dormancy.6Maintain
light moisture in the seed-starting compost with the water-filled spray
bottle. Avoid letting the compost dry out for longer than a few hours
since very dry conditions sometimes cause raspberry seeds to go dormant
again.7Remove
the nursery tray from the cold frame in spring once daytime
temperatures reach 60 F. Place it on a garden bench under light, dappled
shade. Continue to water whenever the compost feels dry.8Watch
for germination four to six weeks after removing the nursery tray from
the cold frame. Transplant the raspberry seedlings into individual
4-inch pots filled with potting soil once they grow to 1 inch in height
and produce a set of mature leaves.9Grow
the young raspberry plants under dappled shade for their first summer
and in the ventilated cold frame over the winter. Transplant them into a
sunny or partially shaded bed with mildly acidic, draining soil the
following spring after soil temperatures warm to 60 F.Things You Will Need* Mesh colander
