Tulameen Raspberries out of sync

Hi Everyone,

A few weeks ago I ordered some cheap discounted Tulameen Raspberries.

They arrived sealed in bags with one stem each of last years growth. As I understand it these are a Primocane variety and fruit would/should have appeared on this growth. As these cane are discounted end of season stock the canes have been suffocated in plastic bags all season and have not been allowed to grow. By now there should be a new cane of this seasons growth and I should be cutting off last years'.

I'm looking for advice - what should I do with these canes? Cut last year's growth down and hope new canes develop next year? Or will nothing come back? Will I not get raspberries next year?

At the moment I've put the canes into a bucket of water and some new shoots are growing on the canes.

Thanks

Plant them now and cut the existing stem's down next spring. The new growth next year will bring forth the fruit. Put a handful of bonemeal in the planting hole, they will enjoy it.

Yes they are summer fruiters.

I have Tulameen and they grow huge  The new growth (which will fruit around mid June) is about 2.3m tall and there are masses of stems too.

Let it grow, as you will get no fruit next year otherwise

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for all the good advice. I'll get them planted at the weekend.

Kind regards

Matt
