I am wanting to plant a nice Raised bed of Raspberries this Spring. I looked at some varieties over at Nourse Farms and noticed a term, PRIMOCANE.
Can someone please tell me exactly what that means? Also, do any of you here grow Raspberries or Blackberries? Any advice would be appreciated.

Promicanes are the new shoots, the first year canes that develop.
I have both raspberry and blackberry bushes. Since blackberries grow wild all over here, I've kind of let them go and just cut them back. I have trained the raspberries. Neither of them are in raised beds though because they take up so much room.

I always take cutting from the new shoots. Also when I trim, I keep the new ones. The old ones go.
