🍇 Raspberries

73 / 100

Good choice

Easy cane fruit in cooler climates. Heat and humidity invite disease in the Deep South.

Winter / hardiness ✓ Zone 8a is workable
Growing-season warmth ✓ Good
Season length ✓ 229 frost-free days
Coming heat ⚠️ Poor choice right now
Sunlight ✓ ~8 hours is a good match

You still have options

  • Treat this as a fall crop
  • Look at heat-tolerant substitutes
