Hi there,

Quick question. I have some autumn fruiting Malling Jewel raspberries in. Am i right in thinking i need to prune the woody canes down to a couple of inches?

Many thanks

  • In my gardening book it says to prune them down to ground and this is what I have done. These are canes I took from an empty allotment so I just hope it works.

    Cheers. Will give it a try. It's a bit scary though!
