Dog ate my raspberry bush - will it recover?

blondnc

I had just planted up a new little raspberry bush and had to answer the phone and by the time I had got back the dog had chewed off the new green shoots and half of the stalky bit.

Can it recover from this or do i have to now buy a new one?

Take it to the vet for an expert opinion

Haha I meant the bush not the dog.

Yes, it will send up new shoots from below the surface.

The dog will enjoy the new raspberry shoots.

Buy a raspberry bush??

Anyone who has them in their garden will probably give you the thinnings for free. :money:

But it should recover anyway. The are on the indestructible side.

I read the title and had to admit I wasn't sure if you were talking about the dog or bush ha ha. Hope they both are fine after the chewing.
