  • are these Autumn fruiting canes?

    Hi all,
    Recently succumbed to a bargain.... 6 raspberry canes for a fiver. It wasn't until I got them home and looked at the label, that I realised it was written in German...
    I think they might be 'Fallgold'. Are they Autumn fruiting? It doesn't say, just that they grow to 4'. Would they need to be supported?
    Any help much appreciated.

    Could they be "Allgold" in which case yes an Autumn fruiter.

      What was the German name? Some of us might be able to translate for you.

          Fallgold is a yellow gold raspberry fruiting on year old wood so you won't get anything this year.

              As to pruning, how tall are the canes?

                At the moment, they are about a foot tall with new shoots appearing, RL. Thanks for the link.

                  I wouldn't bother pruning them, you may get a few fruit on the existing canes this year.

                  They should produce new canes this year (strong new growth from the root area). You leave these to grow and they will fruit next year.
