  • Not sure if I should be pruning these raspberry canes

    When I moved house I took some newly pruned raspberry canes that I had been keeping in a temporary bed. I planted them permanently in June and thought that would be that until next year. However, to my surprise they started fruiting in August and continued until last month (and very nice they were too!) They are not meant to be an autumn fruiting variety so I don't understand why they fruited this year. There is also new growth of about 1ft high. My question is should I cut down the canes that fruited this year as normal and leave the new growth or should I prune all the growth and hope new canes grow in the spring?

      Leave the new growth alone ,and ,if in doubt leave the fruited canes until the spring and see what happens( although I suspect they should really be cut down).
      Leaving dead wood on the bush will do it no harm over winter

        I have to admit my instinct (not that I have much!) tells me not to prune the new growth but to get rid of the old woody stems from this years fruiting but it just seems odd that the new growth has started already.

          How odd - I've just realised that both of you have connections to France, as do I. What a coincidence.

            do you know anything about the new parking arrangements at Limoges airport?
