Autumn Bliss Raspberries
I set these 2 canes last Summer and only had 2 raspberries on them, which was to be expected as they were newly planted. This year they have made tremendous growth but no flowers as yet. Shouldn't they be in flower by now - and will I get any fruit this year? Does anyone else have this very late variety?

Lots of water, a good fertilizer and well rotted manure. Make sure that the plants are kept damp as well especially during dry weather.
Prune autumn fruiting varieties in mid-winter, cutting the old canes back to ground level. Tie in new stems to the supporting wires as they grow, using garden twine. Excerpts taken from BBC Gardening website.....

Thanks all. Yes as I said they were new plants last year, only planted last Summer and produced just 2 fruits which was to be expected really being new. Pruned them down to ground level and was pleased when they started new shoots this Spring and made loads of growth, quite tall now. They are quite crowded though, planted next to our blackberries, could that be the cause, do they need bright sunshine and space around them? I water them well regularly.
