In a state of nature the blackraspberry tip takes root readily if it no more than touches thesoil, but in commercial propagation tips are secured so thatthey will not be blown about by the winds. Some growersrecommend pinning the tip down by means of a wooden stakeor a small rock.

On account of their spreading habit of growth, blackraspberries should be planted in rows somewhat farther apartthan red raspberries. Black raspberries should be planted in rows7 feet apart, although the plants may be spaced 2| feet apartin the rows. Preferably, they should be planted in the spring. The method of planting black raspberries should also havecareful attention. The crown bud of a black raspberry tiplayer should not be covered with too much soil or it will verylikely b
