Spring is easing into a ready to be sprung position and the propagators among you will be looking forward to getting those cuttings that you were eyeing up last year off their parent plant and into your garden (having asked their rightful owner first, of course…).

Eeek! Here we are trying to come across all professional and wise and we plain forgot to mention autumn  fruiting raspberry canes in our newsletter this month (which is having trouble at the moment, like the rest of our site – bit of a nightmare, actually).

So, the point was: if you have autumn fruiting raspberry canes, prune them down to the ground now to get a good crop later this year.
