<p>Raspberry ‘Souri’

‘Souri’ Raspberry (Rubus idaeus ‘Souri’). Rubus idaeus ‘Souri’, known as ‘Souri’ red raspberry, is a deciduous fruiting shrub with an upright and well-branched habit, selected for its hardiness and reliability in cold climates. A mid-season, single-cropping variety, it offers abundant and consistent production of well-colored fruits in summer. Its creamy white spring blossoms attract pollinators and promote uniform fruit set. Its dense green foliage supports robust canes suitable for row cultivation in the vegetable garden. Rubus idaeus ‘Souri’ prefers full sun exposure and fertile, well-drained soil to ensure optimal yield.

To plant ‘Souri’ raspberry, choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is as follows: rich, fertile, and well-drained. Plan for access to pick the fruits without breaking new canes. Pruning depends on the fruiting cycle: distinguish the canes that have produced shoots intended for the next harvest. Support can facilitate the maintenance of vigorous varieties. Water the root ball before planting it in the ground and ensure water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow a width of 1.2–1.5 m (4–5 ft) to organize this plant's space in the garden. The indicated height of 1.5–1.8 m (5–6 ft) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Combine this variety with plants whose light and water needs are compatible. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Potted roots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
