Title: 7 Foot Raspberries
Post by: silly billy on August 29, 2007, 19:50:04
I planted some canes (brought from Woolies) last year and we had our 1st fruit this year.This seasons growth is now at least 7ft. Do I just tie them to the wires and leave them or should I reduce their height? They are summer fruiting.

The Leo on the fruit farm where I used to work did this - absolute monsters. And spiny buggers too. We would gently bend the tops over to make a hoop, so tied in 2 places at the top.
