Multiplying Existing Raspberries

Question

I have a row of everbearing raspberries that are several years old.
Each of the plants has 3-7 stocks/stems that have been cut/pruned earlier this spring to about 4 inches above the soil. I want to create a second, and possibly third, row of raspberries. How should I go about this?

Answer 1

This answer I gave for transplanting raspberries may be of help……… Rather than take cuttings I use the runners that pop up. From each cane I usually get 2-5 “runners” (growth from the original root pops up as new cane). I dig these up, cutting the root back from the original cane, soak in warm water for an hour & then plant in a pot until established, then give away or plant a new area of my garden. Works for me.
