The message
from "Bertie Doe"

contains these words:

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.


Thanks Rusty, I'll make a start ASAP.
