Raspberry canes

[springbok]

I have two canes that are not seem to be doing much.  They are autumn varieties, my other one planted in September is already flowering.
Do I have two dead canes?

Woah there springbokgirlie!!! I was thinking the same thing about some new Allgold last week, and a shoot has appeared on one of them today... Don't throw them yet! I think I'm Souther than you?

One of the 10 I planted last year seemed to have died but this year it as reappeared...except that i only found it today while weeding and I've chopped most of the new leaves off!
So don't give up yet..anyway if you have others you can transplant some runners into the space.

good example of the difference in the weather here in France - my autumn raspberries are already in full foliage, although not exactly in flower yet. So about 3 weeks ahead of some of you ;)

If you gently scratch the stem with your fingernail and you see green under the bark, then you will know for sure if you are growing raspberries or growing dead "twigs"  ;D
