Raspberry Ruby Beauty

Hi Everyone, I’ve bought 2 Raspberry Ruby Beauty and I’m a little unsure about pruning. Instructions said remove canes after fruiting. They have arrived with some old fruit still attached as you can see. I am not sure if I should cut them all back low or if I should cut the small branches back to the main cane as they are a dwarf variety. Should I leave them alone this season? I’ve only grown autumn fruiting before which are straight forward... any advice? I have taken them out of the grey pot, I was in the process of potting on. Thanks

    I think you just need to remove the old cane with the fruit/flower remains on (the nearest one to the camera in your last photo.)  Cut that back to just above the lowest bud you can see on it (green line on edited photo, below.)  The rest of the canes look as though they'll be fruiting this year, so leave those alone.


    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
