Can raspberry shortcake plants be divided?
We have a raspberry shortcake bush and this is the third year we have had it in a pot on our deck. It’s doing very well and has gotten very large. Can we divide it, put say 1/3 back in the pot and could the other 2/3 be put directly in the ground in our garden? And if so, should it be done in the fall or the spring?

This is a new plant on the market and I have never tried to divide a \"raspberry shortcake\" raspberry but I think it would work. Split up the plant in the fall or early spring. Let us know how it works out - I will wait to see how yours did before I divide up mine. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
