Comments

Digging up this thread (ha ha humorous gardening pun!) The raspberry plant has gone absolutely mental and is now about 8 foot tall! it is fruiting now so I'm wondering if it is in fact not Malling promise and was labelled wrongly? It seems to be fruiting on this years growth?
i would really like to move it so should i cut it right back and then move it? or just replant some new shoots/suckers and get rid of the original plant?
Thanks for any help!0 -
Summer fruiting raspberries often have a small second crop in the Autumn, so could still be Summer ones.0

The thing with raspberries is; just cut down the cane once it has finished fruiting. Do that and you won't go far wrong.If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.0

What's confusing? If rasps fruit and then they finish fruiting, cut the cane down to the ground.If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.0 -

Summer fruiting ones can have another crop, and so can winter ones if you half cut them back they fruit early summer. However for a beginner, just stick to the basics; let nature take it's course and gather the harvests as and when you can. I have strawbs fruiting now for instance, as they all think that we've had winter and are now in another summer.If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.0 -
Thankyou :-)0
