Autumn-fruiting rasberries fruit on that year's growth unlike the summer

autumn fruiting varieties can be cut to the ground over the winter.

I have both Summer and Autumn fruiting raspberries. (The latter are
Autumn Bliss which are NOT YELLOW.)
Last year the summer ones spred too much and I intended digging them
out. So I cut all of them, both varieties, down to the ground during
the winter.
I am now picking loads of fruit off both sorts.
I don't know if it will work with all summer fruiting ones but has
certainly proved successful this year.
