Raspberry canes

[Jay]

Hi all,

Did anyone manage to order the 3 free 'all gold' autumn fruiting raspberry canes from last years GYO oct/nov iss?

If so, are you having any problems? Only I planted as per instructed, and one in particular was starting to show signs of life, (a couple of leaves) the other two have not shown any life whatsoever.

To my shock and horror as I checked them out this morning, the one and only's leaves have now dried and shrivelled up. The other two are still not producing anything.

I have done as instructed 'on the tin' and planted in the best position with muck from my composter etc, only to see it with dried leaves.

Has anyone else had this problem, if so can you help me, or at least offer some advice as to what to do next.

I have blueberries, redcurrants, blackcurrants, blackberries, rhubarb, apples all growing quite happily but not the raspberries.
Help.

Many thanks
Jay

No dried leaves on mine, but only one of the three has survived, bit disappointing. Other autumn raspberries next to them are looking great. Never mind, I suppose I can take suckers to get more All Gold next year.

I got the 3 canes last year so far 2 have got quite a lot of leaves the third one does not seem to be doing anything just yet. But mine are thriving

Update: they are all sprouting beautifully! One way ahead of the others, but all three looking good. Patience, patience.
