43130Q.Raspberries
What would your recommendations be for planting red & black raspberries in the central Ohio area. Also I have read conflicting articles about if they need to be planted away from each other or not. Type of soil each would be recommended.

July 12, 2017A.Whether to plant red and black raspberries together is largely a matter of garden economics. If you can separate them, do so, simply because their growth patterns are different; otherwise, plant them together.
Stick with nursery-purchased plants that are certified disease-free. and red and black raspberries will likely stay healthy for many years, even when planted together.

Certified ExpertA.This has been a difficult growing season for gardeners. If you are getting flowers with no fruit, this is typically a pollination issue. These articles may help:

If you are not seeing any flowers, then it is likely due to a lack of phosphorus in the soil. This can be remedied by using a phosphorus rich fertilizer or adding bone meal to the soil around your plants.

Duluth, MNQ.Cutting, thinking summer bearing raspberries
Duluth, MN.--I have a small patch and each fall I have been removing the canes that bore fruit. Past years bushes usually got to about 5 feet tall. This year I added some recommended fertilizer along with straw and leaf mulch and with all the rain they have grown to 7-8 feet tall. Question: after removing the canes that bore fruit this year, should I top the remaining bushes and if so how much should be pruned away? Gene.
