Raspberry propagation

[Lisa L]

I have a delicious thornless black raspberry which I think is called Ebony. When and how do I take cuttings from it so we can enjoy more berries next year?

[Kali]

if they are like normal raspberries they will send out suckers and division can be done now or in spring

chop of lenghts of around 6 inches, stick em in a pot and leave em. Not much to taking raspberry cuttings. Now is probably ad time to take them.

I just dig out the suckers trying to keep as much root as I can, pot them up over winter and replant in the spring.

Really really easy to propagate this way.

they don't sucker much like normal raspberries, but will 'tip root' instead. leave some of the new/this years growth to touch the ground (they bend ovetr and do this naturally if you don't tie them all up), then when they have formed roots clip off about 30 cm up, and move/pot up your new plant. hope that makes sense.

Christy you are quite right they don't sucker like normal raspberries and are far less invasive. So the other tips of digging up suckers with roots don't work.

So what I did is when I was pruning it I popped the cuttings into the some nice soil nearby and am waiting to see which take. Everything is dying off right now so hard to work out which are going to take until spring. Fingers crossed.

Wish I had known your tip earlier I'll go and see if there are any branches I can try your idea.
