Newbie gardener here so forgive the potentially naive question.
I bought 15 raspberry canes - 5 each of three different varieties early , mid and late fruiting. These were planted into a prepared trench in late march this year and cut down to 9-12" as instructed. Some sprouted new growth on the woody stems, others sent up new shoots from below ground but about 5 seem to be doing nothing (these are of mixed varieties). 1) Is this a reasonable survival rate? 2) Should I wait a full season then complain to the supplier - clearly this is the wrong time of year for them to send replacements. 3)Do plant suppliers offer a warranty, or am I expecting too much? Cheers Bob |

I can never understand why there is this advice to cut down raspberry canes as soon as they are planted. All you are doing is losing a year's fruiting. Earlier this year I gave some surplus canes to a friend and advised him to ignore this advice. He reports that they are flowering well and that he expects a good crop.

I bought ten new ones in the spring from my local nursery - not a single one has sprouted. Could be a bad year. I shall certainly complain. |
