Title: Mixed up Raspberries
Post by: silly billy on October 19, 2006, 15:49:57

I've made a bit of a mistake! I brought and planted a few Raspberry canes in the spring and now I have no idea wether they are summer or autumn fruiting :o They didnt get around to flowering or fruiting so i'm at a loss as to what to do with them this winter.Can anyone offer some advice please.I don't want to dig them up and start again.Thankyou.

If they haven't flowered or fruited they are almost certainly Summer fruiting and the cane that have grown this year will fruit next.... then you cut out the ones that have fruited and tie in the new ones that have grown next year and so on... that's why i only grow Autumn ones, you cut them all down in winter and can't get it wrong!
;D
