🌿 Important Establishment Tip (Read Before Planting)

Dorman raspberries benefit from controlled humidity during early establishment.

It is normal for the initial stalk to die back as the plant redirects energy into root development.

Recommended setup:

Cut the plant back to 1 inch above soil level
Cover with a large humidity dome or container (not a small bottle)
Ensure ventilation holes to prevent excess moisture
Keep soil moist, not soggy
Avoid condensation buildup inside the cover

New growth typically emerges from the soil within 1–2 weeks once roots are established.
