Raspberries

[Ruined]

I've got a row of raspberries on which are fruiting now. I know it sounds a daft question, but does that mean they are summer ones?

If so, what should I do in terms of cutting them back?

I've got another row which havent fruited yet, but it's their first year so will have to wait and see what they do.

There's only one rule with Rasps. If a cane has fruited, cut it back.

And the other rule is <looks sideways at Zaz) don't stress the plant by allowing too many canes to grow. No more than 8 per stool.

It would also be helpful if we new what part of the country the questioner harkened from? My rasps here 'upt north' have just about finished!

I would say if they are just starting fruiting now they are Autumn Raspberries as my Summer ones are the same as Snadgers and are all but done.

Yep...my autumn ones have started fruiting now too, my summer ones finished around a month ago.

my polka and joan j look like they are about to start,and its stopped raining for a few minutes,so fingers crossed....

I wonder if they are what the French call 'remontant'. That is they fruit on new wood in late summer, then again on the same canes early the following summer. You cut the old canes out after the first fruiting, and the new canes fruit for the first time 6 weeks or so later.
