I have a lot of raspberry canes on my allotment, and although some

cut them all down in the winter and get a good succession of fruits.
My friend does this and she says it hasn't made any difference, she
still gets a good yield every year.
I am searching desperately for the rubus caesius, the dewberry. It is
listed but I can't find suppliers. Also I'm looking for a crabapple,
malus pumila Red Glow. Listed is the 'pink glow' but not red glow. Any
idea?
Pink glow not in the national collection at Brogdale, so can't
propogate it for you. Keepers do it - to order.

As for the Rasps, If the fruit in the same season the likelyhood is
that the autumn fruited ones have taken over, because if you cut a
summer fruiting raps down it will only fruit the following year.
Commercial plantings for a crop of summer fruiting rasps, the plants
are sold as long canes, not cut down, inorder to get a crop the same
year. They also irrigate heavily inorder to encourage new growth.
