words:

Hi Anne:
I agree with all of that (cuttings for gooseberries and wild rasberries
not
worth the hassle) but I have a silly question and you seem good at
cuttings:
can you propagate rasberries by cuttings? Digging up canes seems the
usual
method but I have a couple of plants that I would like to turn into a
dozen
as fast as possible and cuttings seem faster in that case?
Des

Well, I've never tried it, but it must surely be worth a go? If you
want to sacrifice one cane, and cut it into half a dozen or so lengths,
then do it! I would! G You know how to determine that you're sticking
the right end in the soil, I'm sure.... ;-)

Ok, you are right; there is not much to lose by trying it on one cane.
I will do my best to stick em in the ground right way round :-)

Des
