So I ordered 6 raspberry canes last Autumn . Took a while in the post ( I wanted a specific variety - Polka - Autumn fruiting, and couldnt source in Ireland so ordered from UK) and they were a bit bedraggled when they eventually arrived . Soaked them , planted and over wintered them in situ . Pruned back to about 30 cm end of January . In a decent new bed with virgin soil/compost mix.
They have a few very small buds but apart from that little signs of life - unlike the new blackcurrant which is full of green buds.
Am i being too impatient as they are still dormant or are the probably dead ?
And if they are dormant when should signs of life appear
Thanks
