Topic: north-south verses east-west

Are they taller at the top or the bottom?

South east end or the bottom/front

I've noticed an interesting thing about my raspberries but I don't know why it happens. As I said my plot runs lengthways NW-SE and so does my planting. I have two rows of raspberries at the top end of my plot and another two rows at the bottom. There is a very, very minor slope lengthways down the plot but all the raspberry plants are taller at the south east end of their rows. The Autumn Bliss have the most noticeable difference they are very short one end about 18" and 4ft at the other. I don't think the slope is enough to have an effect as there isn't  a slope from one end of a row to the other.  :-\

A guess: More water at one end?  Better soil that retains water or has more nutrients?

Must be however the soil on lot of raspberries is on is completely different from the other set and yet I have the same height gradient!
