Lovin' The Homestead
I ordered these raspberry bushes from Gurneys or Henry Fields (Heritage and Anne). Well, after having been planted for over a month not ONE had started to bud. I called Gurneys and spoke with a really nice gal who helped me to determine that indeed 1 of my heritages had died and all of my anne's. The Anne's are on back order until next year. I got my Heritage's 2 days ago but couldn't plant because day one was delivered after dark and day two rained ALL day. I go out to double check the locations of where to plant them and notice something a bit odd. It seems that while the shaft of one of the Anne's was dead (no green at all during the scratch test), there are what look like 3 new shoots coming up around it?!?! Neither of the other two have this but is this normal for raspberries to do? Have the main shaft die and then they shoot up from elsewhere. CRAP! I didn't plan for THAT to happen.
