Transplanting Rasberries
A kind hearted neighbour has given me some raspberry canes to plant. They are about 6 ft tall have good shoots on them but no leaves or foliage. I know they produce rasberries in summer.
Do I need to cut the canes down to about 12 inches or plant them as they are?
Thanks

Do they have roots, Bluemoon?

They did have roots on them - does that make a difference to what I need to do?

No, this advice is for rooted ones.

If they are summer fruiting ones cut them down to a max of 18" - you may get a few odd fruits next year on them. If they are autumn fruiters cut them right down to the ground as they fruit on the current year's growth.
