Raspberries: I only grow autumn fruiters, because summer ones get full of maggots (raspberry beetle).
You don't know what you've got (yet), so let them fruit. If they have their berries in June/July mostly, then they're earlies (summer).
If they start in late July but produce most fruit in August/Sept, then they're autumn fruiters.
Once you know what you've got, you can prune accordingly. Grow your own raspberries / RHS GardeningAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.

Thanks for all this info. I have loads of fruit canes all planted out very carefully but extremely overgrown. I think there are raspberries, gooseberries, blackberries (thornless) and all the usual berries. I wont really know until they have fruited or the leaves are fully formed but I intend to let them fruit, see when and how they do it and then I can plan my pruning for next season. So much to do, so much learning to do, so much fun to have and so many fruits to eat.
You've gotta love nature!

I've read before about double cropping autumn raspberries, so when you find out what you've got have a go at following this method.
