Raspberry cuttings
I've tried taking a few.from green side shoots over a month ago. They've
all calloused well,and still look healthy but so far none of these have rooted. Anyone tried this and had success. |

Regardless of whether raspberries can be propagated by cuttings, they can easily be propagated by division - dig them up in the autumn and split the rhizomes. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

Anyone tried this and had success. I am struggling to work out why you are doing cuttings? they are so easy from root divisions, particularly the autumn varieties. Raspberry cuttings run serious risks of transmitting various cane diseases including viruses, we always burn raspberry pruning's whilst nearly everything else goes through the shredder. -- Charlie, Gardening in Cornwall Holders of National Collections of Clematis viticella and Lapageria rosea cvs http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk |

Anyone tried this and had success. I started with one Raspberry plant, it did well last year and started sending runners all around. I didn't want them there so I dug them up and replanted them in a place that I wanted more plants. Eight so far and all doing well. Wally |

Raspberry cuttings run serious risks of transmitting various cane diseases including viruses, we always burn raspberry pruning's whilst nearly everything else goes through the shredder. So nobody's attempted softwood cuttings, then? As for virus transmission, surely it makes no difference what method of propagation you use as a virus will affect the whole plant regardless of which part of it you use for propagation. Stem cuttings are no more likely to be a source of viral transmission than root division. Why I attempted stem cuttings is that I bought new plants last autumn which I had pruned in early spring. I planted the prunings in soil and their buds began to shoot I thought when theese were 2 inches long that I could get extra plants early on from these shoots which would fruit by next year if they would root promptly. All the cuttings I look are still alive, healthy and have callused, but so far no roots |

Cane fruit is so prone to problems that I think it is still the case you need a certification of clean stock from Defra to sell it officially. -- Charlie, Gardening in Cornwall Holders of National Collections of Clematis viticella and Lapageria rosea cvs http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk |
