This is a good choice if you want canes that are rooted in soil and will start to grow right away. Compared to dormant bare root canes that will take 3-8 weeks to start to grow. These plants are rooted in a soilless mix that produces very fibrous roots.
Ready to plant outside if your night time temperature is over 28 degrees. Or, cover on nights when your temperature is from 24 degrees to 28 degrees. If your temperature is colder, plants will go dormant.
Joan J is a ever bearing red raspberry with completely spine -free canes...NO THORNS. Large delicious firm berries that are easy to pick. Yields are approximately 20 - 30% more than Autumn Bliss and flavor is excellent. Patented variety. Best grown in USDA Zones 4 - 8. Great choice for Northern Growers. These plants are huge dormant bare root 2 year old plants. This size you would see in a garden center in 1-2 gallons containers. They were originally 4+ foot tall, but have been pruned back to promote branching.
These plants bore fruit last year and will produce fruit in the Fall...and in the Spring and Fall of following years, depending on how plants are managed. Plants were originally 4+ foot tall, but will be pruned to 4 inches tall for proper planting height. This forces buds from the lower cane and roots which will produce more fruit this year. Photo shows bare cane as you will receive, properly pruned for planting.
