Planting Raspberry Canes.

The summer fruiting varieties of raspberry canes will need support and I will put a post in each end of the row. This will be 18ins in the ground and 4 ft high. I will put wire between the posts at 18 ins (the first being 1 ft off the ground) so that as the canes grow, they can be tied to them. The canes will be tied at an angle of 45 degrees, all in one direction. This is so that when next years canes start to grow, they will be tied inĀ  the opposite direction, making it easier to prune after they have finished fruiting.
