I have never had raspberries, but I know that blackberries musts have the
bearing canes cut off when done bearing. Then the new canes will bear the
following year. When you cut them off, destroy them preferably by burning.
They could contain harmful pests and diseases.

Some raspberry growers say they cut them to the ground after they finish
harvesting the fruit, but that idea kind of scares me. Maybe it is a
different kind of raspberries.

I have been growing raspberrys for 3 years. the first year i had a good
crop, the 2nd was fair but this year not very good. i tend to get fruit on
only certain branches but i have loads of new shoots coming up all the
time.
is it a pruning problem? any advise would be welcome.
