How Much Space Do My Berry Bushes Need?
Asked by G4rden_P4nd4
I'm trying to figure out if the spacing between my berry bushes—blackcurrants, redcurrants, blackberries, and raspberries—is okay. I read that they should be at least 1.5m apart, but I only have about 0.5m between them. Someone else mentioned that could be fine. Can I leave them like this for a while until they root better, since they were bare roots? I could always transplant them later if needed. Also, I have some other plants in 50L grow bags. Should I keep them there or switch to bigger pots? Are 50L pots enough for dwarf apple trees, or will I need to upgrade them as they grow? Thanks!

From my experience, raspberry bushes can really spread out and they grow super tall—around five feet! If you're somewhere that's drier, you might need to give them more room. I live in Scotland, so they thrive here. Where are you located?

G4rden_P4nd4: I'm in London! Well, as long as they work, I guess that's what matters. I have some barriers nearby that might block some light for now, but I'm hoping they'll grow well. Just diving into gardening this month!
