About American Red Raspberry

American Red Raspberry Habitat & Range

Raspberries prefer to grow in areas that receive ample sunlight such as clearings and thickets, in soil that's not marshy. They naturally grow south of the Alaska Range and throughout Southeast Alaska, but can grow in areas as north as Fairbanks.
