Whilst clearing down the blackcurrants, I found
entwined several long (5ft+) summer fruiting raspberry
canes, spread away from my main row by aboy 4ft. As I
would like some more canes in the row, can I move
these as they are and expect them to fruit next year
or should I move and cut down in the autumn so they
will shhot next year for cropping the year after.

I prefer the former approach and may well try a couple
even if strongly advised against it!!!

How do you know that they are summer fruiting? Yes I am confused too.
A previous thread suggested that autumn fruiters can fruit in summer if the
canes are not cut off to ground level in autumn, but left to fruit in
summer, then cut them.

Mainly because my autumn fruiting ones have spiny
stems, and the summer fruiting ones smooth stems.
