Should autumn raspberries have buds on?
« on: February 26, 2012, 21:49 »
I really should know this but it's now our first full spring with the autumn rasps, and when I came to cut them back today, I realised that almost all the canes had green buds, where I was expecting just dead canes. Is this the way they usually are at this time of year? With the exception of one rogue plant, they were definitely autumn rasps -we were eating them in November!

Yes they will bud and have fruit.

One year due to circumstances they were left. They fruited, but not very well, neither did the canes that bore fruit in the same season.

Has this killed the thead?  :lol:   (Only a joke if you're in on it).

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Yes, most of the canes on autumn-fruiters survive the winter, and they fruit relatively early, but poorly - there has to be suspicion that if you let them they will sap some of the strength from the plant which should be going into the new canes which carry the autumn crop proper.

(Same as DD really but I wanted it to be me who killed the thread - bet no-one lets me!)  :lol:

Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

why should you be the one to kill the thread :unsure:

Just cut them all back to the gound, If you want even more plants just poke the prunings in - they often root ;)

Just to explain the joke - quite a while savbo post about him being a thread killer.

Oh - never mind, him & me know what we're on about!
