Last autumn we planted some raspberry canes.
They have sat there doing a good impression of sticks ever since.
A week or so ago noticed this growth near the base of a cane;

Could that be actual raspberry growth?
Yes that is your new growth,it takes time with rasps ,you think they are dead, then when you have givin up they pop through ;D
Certainly looks like it. Seems like they have given the main cane a miss but developed suckers from the roots. Others might appear as time goes on.
My raspberries are quite frightening: they are now as tall as me and are totally feral, although laden with tiny green fruit. Next year I must be ruthless and actually dig out a few as they are just too vigourous, they are harming surrounding plants.
They are the huge clump you can see behind the potatoes:

They are meant to grow from the roots, with the first shoots appearing an inch or so from the case, I assume the stick to the top right of the shoot is the cane, in which case all is well.
