gbw starts with ... Hi, I have a Williamette Raspberry planed about six months ago. It is spreading quickly with long runners along the ground - but nothing vertical like a sturdy self-supporting 'cane'. Are these runners actually canes, and thus I should be supporting them against a vertical structure, or are they suckers and I should be trimming them? Do I wait for vertical canes to just shoot up, I'm not sure whether to prune these long things to keep the plant in check, or whether they should be supported. Thanks! | About the Author gbw TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN,4272,QLD 5th January 2021 10:49am #UserID: 25365 Posts: 1 View All gbw's Edible Fruit Trees |
Itstilldepends says... The canes will need supporting, not a lot though. You can put a couple of long star pickets in at the ends of each row. Run a wire/line at about 3 feet off the ground and another at the top. Tie the canes to the wire as they grow and if they get really long, wind them along/around the top wire. | About the Author Itstilldepends EATON 6232 WA Australia 18th January 2021 12:03am #UserID: 24701 Posts: 7 View All Itstilldepends 's Edible Fruit Trees |
