Re: raspberries


What kind of raspberries are you getting---black or red?  When I 
was a kid, lo those many years ago, my father had a large black 
raspberry patch.  He had wood supports for each row and pruned 
the new growth down to that level in the spring.  The old canes were 
eliminated each year.  They were really wonderful.  I would like to 
have had them in my east-central Oregon garden, too, but only the 
red variety could be grown there because they are more winter 
hardy.  The temperatures sometimes got below -25°.
