Unreasonable raspberry expectations?

With summer raspberries, you prune out the canes which have fruited and tie in the new growth to produce fruit the following summer.  If you buy bare root canes, they will have to grow one year and then fruit the next.

The autumn raspberries are different.  You prune the whole lot down over winter and they re-grow the following year.  They take a little while to get established, so you may only get a bit of fruit the following summer, but you should get some.

There is always a risk with bare root that they don't take, but any good mail order company or garden centre will replace any duds you get
