My friend was given some raspberry canes earlier this year and is now wondering what to do with them. She also bought some from Lidl, but no longer has the labels.
They were all nowt but twigs when she planted them. At least some of them (and the two possibly different, possibly not, varieties have been mixed up) fruited this year. Would that make them Autumn fruiting varieties and they should be cut right back to twigs now? What about the others?
Any advice gratefully received

) is that raspberries don't grow well in pots. I am sure someone will come on and say they have been growing them in pots for 25 years with no problems. But although I normally espouse (that's a good word) pot growing and say you can grow anything in pots as long as the pot is large enough (never tried it with an oak tree 
) I really don't think rasps, who love to send out runners and are not deep rooted but like to spread out, are suited to confined growing. But I seem to rememember someone on here who has done it up tripods. That's one of the things about gardening, you can try anything, and often get away with it.
