    How can I train/grow this to take up the space on the left where the cosmos is?



    This is a autumn bliss variety.

    With regards to cutting it back, I've read with the autumn variety you cut it back to ground level, when would I do this?

    Many Thanks

        Should I do any pruning or cutting after fruiting and before February, or just leave them and cut them back and wait for new growth?

          February is the latest time to chop them down, you can do it any time after the foliage dies down in autumn. Whenever's convenient for you, really. That's the traditional way of managing autumn raspberries and it's what you should do this winter.

          A different way, once the plants are cropping well, is to only completely cut out at least half of the fruited canes but shorten the rest by about a third. The ones you leave will give you a small crop in mid summer; you cut the rest of the old cane down once you've picked them and wait for the normal autumn crop.

            Let it fruit and die back - lose it's leaves. Then almost any time from Nov to Feb you can cut it back. In case it throws up any early shoots make sure you avoid chopping them.

              Thanks very much.

              Just noticed this afternoon, I've got a pest eating away at my leaves, am I able to spray the leaves with a pesticide/fungicide? Or is it best not to bother?

              Thanks

                Do you know what's eating them? A photo might help . Always best to know what the pest is before treating it. I'm lucky on my plot that the only problem I have with my raspberries us the bind weed that grows up them but I do know there are other problems round the country.

                Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

                  The damage looks minor, so personally I'd be inclined to leave it alone and hope the natural predators pick off whatever it is.
