Glen Coe Raspberry

My two year old Glen Coe raspberry plant has grown to over 8 feet in length over the summer. It fruited earlier in the season and these canes were removed. Should I prune it further or move it to another position where it can be trained along wires similar to a blackberry.

Comments

  • Yes they do that.

    I just bend the canes over into a loop and secure - and along the top side of the looped cane - you get loads of new growth that produces lots of lovely rasps next year - [festooning it].

    The thing with these is they don't sucker - so you can move it if you want to train it, and after a few years you can split the crown and make more plants.
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.
