Basically, raspberries do not need winter protection. The plants are hardy and survive even very cold winters. However, you should protect new plantings with a mulch layer. Potted raspberries also need some winter protection.

Winter protection only for newly planted raspberries

If you planted a new row of raspberries or a raspberry hedge in autumn, you should cover the young plants over the winter.

The following are suitable for this:

  • mulch cover
  • fir branches
  • straw
  • protective fleece

Winter protection for potted raspberries

Raspberries in the bucket are more likely to suffer from the cold, as the soil in the pot freezes through much more quickly. Therefore, protect it with foil or other suitable materials.

Place the bucket on a sheltered house wall and don't forget to water the plants occasionally.

tips and tricks

Foliage is an ideal winter cover for beds of all kinds. But only use leaves from healthy trees to protect your newly planted raspberries from frost.
