Hi. I have some raspberry canes and blackcurrant, redcurrant and gooseberry bushes which I should prune late in the year. Because of hip replacement surgery, due mid Sept., I am unlikely to be able to do it then. I would like to do it now and wonder if this would be alright?
Thanks Roy

Thanks Moon growe
Had a good crop of raspberries this summer but last fruit was easily three weeks ago. Old and new canes easily discernible but will take your advice though and leave it a while longer.
Big thanks

Green Cabbage I suggested you cut back the raspberry canes now!

If your raspberries are summer fruiting you can prune out the canes that fruited this year now. i would have thought you still had fruit on the bushes, why not wait until just before you go in for surgery to prune those?
