Blackberries are a better analogue - the pruning and thinning are
slightly different from raspberries. Otherwise, yes.

Thanks Nick, they are replacing blackberries. I gave up trying to
control a Bedford Giant and Himalayan wotsit as it was easier and just
as good to visit the local pick your own farm. This was I get my path
back


They are a menace! We have Oregon thornless which crops hugely despite
our hard pruning it every year, I know you are not supposed to but it is
the only way of getting in the fruit cage!
