hi can someone help me figure out my raspberry canes. I bought them in feb/march with the info of them being summer fruiting. They started flowering and fruiting September and october still with flowers on them, so when do I cut them back?

    Also there are no aftercare instructions, except water regularly during the Growing season

    They sound like autumn rasps.  the berries are often bigger and darker than the summer variety

    if you see signs of new growth I would think they may be summer, don't prune until you are sure

    summer canes fruit next year on this years growth, autumn can be cut to ground level in Feb.

    That’s what I thought and I took pictures of the tags to make sure i knew what kind I had. it definitely says summer on them, so that’s why the confusion with when I should cut back. They’re Polana From b&q. 

    ill have a look to see whether there’s more new growth Tomorrow and ill cut the ones that have fruited and see what happens next year then
