    Hi, I planted new rasberry canes this year, which caught well and have grown to about 3' with lush green growth - but very few berries.

    The variety (i think is Glen Moy) what do I do with them now? Are they to be cut right back?

    Hi Gareth

    If they're Gen Moy they're floricanes so crop off last years wood. When pruning cut down all canes which have fruited (or in your case, just any old wood). Retain the best 6-9 unfriuted canes and tie to wires about 3-4" apart. In February cut back tall growth to 6" above top wire (mines about 6ft). Hope this helps. I'm no expert but that's the info I was given when I planted mine this spring.
