I leave a few (mainly-)unfruited canes when I prune down my autumn

I did NOT do that to my Autumn Bliss (IE, I cut them all down) but one
staggly shoot has just fruited! The rest look no more advanced than
usual for the time of year.


wow that's wierd. All my "normal" autumn fruiting canes (i.e. cut down in
Jan) are still growing and maturing. I take it the "staggly" shoot is a
short one?
