Soft fruit cuttings help please
The message
from "Bertie Doe" contains these words:
Thanks Rusty, there's no shortage of material, as it's the allotment next
door. I assume early Spring, a few weeks after the parent plants are
growing
strongly.
Do it now! Best time is autumn.
She's also offered loganberry, that has spread about 12 feet along wires.
Can't say I've tasted these before, so fingers crossed for a reasonable
summer.
Ah, they propagate by the tip of the cane rooting, as per bramble. If
any of last years canes are touching the ground, especially at the ends,
but sometimes at a side-shoot, you may find rooted bits.
Cuttings don't take, IME.
If none, ask if you can peg down the end of a cane when it has nearly
stopped growing.
