Red raspberries prefer well-draining, slightly acidic soil with consistent moisture and morning sun with afternoon shade. Prune old canes after fruiting and provide support with trellises or stakes for best fruit production. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds while keeping mulch away from the base.
