Raspberries prefer an open sunny position, if possible, protect from the afternoon sun. Exposure to wind is fine, although will not tolerate salt. Some chilling hours are required; if you can grow an apple, you can grow Raspberries. Plant in rich soil with good drainage and use a good mulch. Prune out dead and old fruited canes.
