Two or three dozen Autumn Bliss about 5 years old. As usual cut them back to
ground level after harvesting this year. Now they seem to think it's spring.
All plants are now growing to about 2 feet high. Should I (re)prune them to
ground level or let winter take its toll?

If they're Autumn Bliss then they should be prune late winter. I'll
leave them till then and then re-prune.

Autumn Bliss can be pruned now

He's already pruned them - far too early in my opinion. We do ours in
late october/november - last year they went on the bonfire. So I
suggest he waits a bit, and re-prune them at the right time which is
usually late winter. The weather is so warm, we must delay things a bit.

Yes he said that in his opening post did you not see this? I replied
saying he can reprune now

The best you can do is to ignore her, then hopefully she will go away!

When did you prune? Ours are still fruiting, and will be, given
semi-decent weather, until into November. I usually prune my autumn rasps
in January. They seem to do well on this regime.

Thanks for the dozen or so answers to my query. A summary would suggest
that -
1. I pruned at the wrong time (September)
2. The new "Spring" growth should be left until January/February then
pruned.
3. In future do not prune until Jan/Feb
