Raspberries generally bloom in late spring to early summer. Specifically, raspberries start blooming approximately in late May or early June, depending on the variety and regional climate.
- Floricane (summer-bearing) raspberries typically bloom from early to mid-June on their second-year wood. These types produce fruit roughly one month to 40 days after blooming, with fruit ripening starting in July.
- Primocane (fall-bearing) raspberries bloom later, from late July through the fall, depending on the weather. These produce fruit starting in late August and can continue until the first frost.
- Raspberry flowers are usually small and appear in early to late summer, producing fruit starting from June to August in temperate regions.
Thus, for most raspberry varieties, expect blooms to appear mainly around late May to mid-June for summer-bearing types and later in the season for fall- bearing types.
