Last night on 'The Edible Garden' Alys said that she only cuts back half her autumn fruiting raspberries in February each year as this way she gets earlier fruit on the canes she didn't cut down She also says she doesn't do this to the same canes each year as this would weaken the canes, she alternates it (which is why she only leaves half uncut each year),
I was wondering if anyone on here does this and if you laeve the canes every other year as she suggests then wouldn't it eventually weaken the canes?
If it works as she says then the earlier fruit would be great...but is this too good to be true?
