Can I add to this that the Autumn fruiting varieties of Raspberry can be left un-pruned until later, when fruiting is over. Then all stems can be pruned back and those which grow from next Spring will have time to develop and bear friuit next Autumn. JB

You should not cut any of these back, Lovegreen, as they are next years fruiting canes. Once these canes have fruited in 2010 then you cut them back to ground level, being careful not to damage the new 2010 canes. The raspberry is like a biennial in that the fruit forms on the previous years canes.
