How do you eradicate raspberry bushes? They have produced no berries for 10 years but keep coming back.
You don't say how many you have so if it is 200 bushes, it will be quite a job. I just pulled mine - grab at base of plant and pull.
I live in western Washington. When can I dig up my raspberries and move them to another location? They are 2 years old.

Can you prune right after you pick? Can you leave new canes all winter and spring?

I have loads of raspberries. I just picked a quart and I want to save them like they are now, till tomorrow. What can I do to keep them from getting mushy and tart? I do a lot of freezing but when I make something, the raspberries are always tarter than when I pick them.
Raspberries do not stay fresh longer than a few days. Raspberries quickly mold when left at room temperature, and only last a couple of days in the refrigerator. You can easily freeze berries that you don't use right away. Otherwise, you'll have to use them within the two-day period.
My raspberries came out very good and a lot of fruit. I only have one problem, the fruits have white spots on them. How can I get rid of them? Is that an insect doing it, or is that another sign of something I am not doing right? It looks like there is no juice in them.

Just as they ripen, they get grey patches on them. Is this caused by bugs or a disease?
This sounds like it may be white drupelet syndrome. No one is quite sure why it happens. Some people think it is caused by sunscald while others feel it is pest damage.
