Last year I bought a raspberry which was supposed to be Autumn Gold or some
such - late fruiting with golden berries.

It fruited this year barely later than the main crops, in July, and the
fruits were large, long and delicious. But purple.

We'd like to grow more canes of this variety at the back of the fruit cage
(the others are in the main garden) but don't know if we can take cuttings.
There aren't any runners.

Yet :-)

Give it time...

Yebbut we might not have as much as it has, which is why I want to take
cuttings. If it's possible.

You can chop the rootstock up to produce lots of new plants but you will
need to grow the small bits on before putting them out

This isn't something I've ever come across, but if you were to lay
one of the canes along the ground, is there a possibility that it
would shoot (and root) from various parts of the stem?

SWK may be along shortly... if not I'll ask my fruit farmer friend.

If SWK is around, could you ask if we/I could lay a cane along pots of
earth/compost - or air layer? there's not much room to lay a cane on the
ground. It's complicated but I'll explain if necessary.

Is that guaranteed?

I'm happy to try it if it is but if not I'm not too happy about sacrificing
a root.

The message t

I have a feeling - only a feeling, mind - that a cane wouldn't root. BICBW.

If it does, it will only do so at nodes.
