We had vegan wilted spinach salad tonight, with the spinach and scallions from the garden. So good! I’m going to be bummed when I have to buy greens from the store again : ( We put in two dwarf Apple trees, six blueberries, and 12 floricane raspberries. Raspberry question: I pruned them back as instructed by the nursery and cut off canes with green shoots. I stuck the green shoots in water. Will I be able to root them, or am I wasting water and time? Thanks for any answers and opinions!

I’d say it’s always worth a try. No harm no foul. We don’t do Raspberries, as all the ones we’ve tried simply died.

They’ll often root. Not wasting time.

Probably worth a shot.

I have propagated blackberries by bending over and burying the mid section of a cane. Next season I cut the cane and I’m left with two plants.

I’ve also used root cuttings from blackberries in large containers. Sometimes by properly taking cuttings and placing them in the fridge with peat (IIRC). Sometimes, I leave the large container with no plate under it in one place for months, then just come along and move the container, breaking off and leaving behind the portions of the roots that snuck through the drain hole into the ground.

I’ve had no luck with blueberries, unfortunately, as I want a bunch of those to use as hedges.
