How to grow it
SCARIFICATION & STRATIFICATION: Open your Seeds In A Cup kit. Lightly sand raspberry seeds with fine sandpaper. Soak for 24 hours. Place in the provided moistened growing medium in a sealed bag. Refrigerate at 33-41°F (1-5°C) for 90-120 days.
PLANTING: After stratification, fill your Seeds In A Cup container with the provided growing medium. Press seeds gently onto the surface and cover lightly with ⅛ inch of medium. Mist thoroughly. Place in a warm location (70-75°F) or under a grow light for 14-16 hours/day. Germination occurs in 21-60 days.
SEEDLING CARE: When seedlings have 3-4 true leaves, transplant to individual pots. Move outdoors in USDA Zones 3-8 in spring. Provide full sun and well-draining acidic soil. Install support or a trellis. Water 1-2 inches per week during the growing season. Expect first fruit in the second year.
