from what I understand....raspberries either bear once, or they bear two times, the first time pretty early, on old wood, and then a second time in late summer/early fall on new wood. I don't think you have to worry about different colors and such. The only thing would be that if you planted them right next to each other, without a quality root barrier between them, then the one might take over and choke out the other.

Never thought about the roots. Is the pound in plastic edging about 6 inches deep enough or do I need to go down a foot or more? |

That's what some call everbearing. I have Kiwigold which are pretty pale looking: http://www.noursefarms.com/catalog/Product/RS-KIBR/Kiwigold+.aspxBut also look at the pic for Anne raspberries on the same page. |

I have never tried to contain them...so couldn't say oh2fly was complaining about their root powers...maybe find his raspberry thread or ask him.
