I've just got round to cutting out the fruited canes - the brown ones! I noticed that there were new canes (green ones) that had also fruited this year.
Is this usual OR is it the weather this year?
Should I cut them out too? They are not autumn fruiting variety.
I'd be grateful for any advice.
Hi Cherry,
Yep- this is perfectly normal, just leave the green canes. The green canes are where your fruit will come from next year, so the theory behind pruning summer-raspberries is to remove the brown canes that fruited this year and tie-in the new green shoots.
Best wishes and good luck!

Thanks for that Truffles. I will go ahead now and tie in all the new canes.
Cheers.
