Thanks, Mary.

You'll find that to compensate for not being a bush, they'll send out lots
of new stems and gradually march along your plot


It wouldn't be so bad if it were just "along". You'll soon find them
*all over the place*!!
My love of raspberries means I am prepared to forgive them for the
amount of pulling of stray stems I have to do throughout the year.
