hi
i have got flowers starting to come on the autumn rasps
do i remove them or leave them alone ? ???
thanx in advance
debs :D
looking forward to the replies on this, our autumn bliss has started, eric, our chairman, says, just enjoy them :)
that makes three of us!
was given some Autumn Bliss canes by a neighbour having a tidy up, and they're flowering already.
LEAVE THEM!!! And enjoy!
I must check mine then... they've certainly shot up with that wet week... maybe they think summer has been and gone.... hope they're wrong!
;D
I have fruit on my "Autumn" canes, 'cos I cheat & cut old wood down to half it's height (wisdom says to remove completely, as you probaly know!). Should be ready in about a month, I reckon.
Out of interest, are all the flowers on this years wood? I've just checked & my new wood has nowt thus far.
yes, we cut them down early on in the year :)
My autumn Joan have been flowering virtually since I planted them in March - should be ready soon. Funny old year. :)
are mine the only ones doing very little think might just be able to see couple of buds starting :(
Leave the flowers alone as OllieC says. Patience!
For those that have no flowers, if you have autumn fruiting types, the flowers will come. For those that have summer fruiting types, canes wil grow, no flowers will come and if you leave the canes until next year, they'll flower then.
