Autumn fruiting Raspberries

[Ken the Chef]

Earlier this year I purchased an Autumn fruiting raspberry; Autumn Bliss.
The plant came in a pot with canes left over from last year still in place and several side shoots which developed and gave a reasonable crop of raspberries and it put up two new canes.
After it finished fruiting I cut back all the old canes.
I thought autumn raspberries fruited on the same year new growth canes.
My question, will I get a crop this year on the new canes; so far there is now indication that I will have a crop.

Yup, you're right. Mine aren't showing flowers yet either.

When did it fruit, and when did you cut out the canes?

[chris]

Oh, I mis-read the part about buying it this year, thought you said last year!

We are eating ours

autumn raspberries will fruit on stems left on from last year,fairly early on,they will then fruit on this years stems,dont forget that the unusual spring we had has delayed this years fruit,so far on my 23 bushes,we have had 7 raspberries, mostly they havent even flowered yet, so whats needed now is a good "indian" summer come the autumn, and then we will all be wondering what else we can do with them...

Would like to know if your autumn raspberries did turn out ok. The reason being that I had loads of canes shooting up this year for my autumn bliss but did not get any fruit. Should I have thinned them out or what?

[Two_Sheds]

No fruit at all? That's unlucky, I've had tons of fruit from mine, it's been a bumper year for rasps (cool & wet)

I bought new Autumn Bliss last winter, they did not get planted till late Feb due to weather and I have been eating them for about 6 weeks now and they are still producing.

I've been a little confused with mine, I have a few varieties that have done well, my autumn fruiting canes have produced pounds of fruit but I also have a late summer fruiting variety - Tulameen that should fruit on second year wood, this year I had a small harvest (end july - aug) but now the new canes that should give me fruit for late next summer all have fruit forming on the end of their stems. They will never have time to ripen. Should I cut the tops off? They are about 5-6ft tall.

[Inthevalley]

Seems like everybody's have been ok but mine then. Here we've had a very dry spell until last few weeks. Even the local stream dried up for the first time in most people's memory. I
It was the second year for these rasps. The first year had some, then cut I cut them back to about 4" from ground in late autumn, plenty of canes this year growing to about 5ft high but no fruit.

[taff]

mine fruited once at the beginning of the summer {bought them at the edible garden show and planted them straightaway], now they're about 5ft and starting to fruit again.
So I leave those canes that are just fruiting now, and cut them down after they've fruited next year?

I cut all my raspberry canes to the ground in late winter: BBC - Gardening - Gardening Guides - Techniques - How to prune soft fruit

Started picking off ours this week

If you chop autumn raspberrys down they fruit autumn next year, leave them they fruit very early summer so i chop a lot of them , leaving some to fruit early

So if you get summer and autumn ones you have very late spring, summer and autumn raspberys
