Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

trying out jewel black raspberry cuttings from the canes that just fruited. not sure if they’ll root, but they were going to get pruned this fall anyway. I didn’t want to use the new canes coming up, they still have a few ft to grow. Jewel grows quite a bit like a blackberry, where wyoming black seems to grow more compact and bushy like a raspberry. maybe it’s because I have an older plant, or do all black raspberries grow long whippy floricanes?
