Do people put in any supports for these (I have polka) - the Internet seems to have conflicting advice. I have 5 canes and am unsure whether to plant them in a row or as a 'group' in a bed as once again the advice is conflicting! I need to get them in this week so I need to make my mind up...

I've got a 32' row of Autumn Bliss and not a stake in sight!

Do you find the canes drag on the floor and result in rotting fruit (which seems to be the argument for staking them). Obviously I would far rather not stake if I don't have to!

If they did, you'd see some stakes!

I have what started off as a single row of Polka, which when they start growing again wil be a three feet wide hedge without any support.

Any that grow outside of this will have their roots chopped with a spade and dug out.

Perhaps 'row' was not a good description for a 32' x 6' block!

Mine are heading in that direction as well - and none are staked here either

Perfect - that is one less job for this week then, thanks
