Hi all
My raspberry's are about four foot tall and still full of leaves which are on wood grown this year. This is the first time i've grown them and not quite sure what i should do?

You haven't mentioned fruit - did they have any this year? If so, when?

If no fruit, then they're summer rasps so leave them and they'll fruit on these stems.

next autumn, cut out these stems which will look dead, leaving the stems that grow next summer for the following year
