Here is an explaination of 'tip rooting' black raspberries. Google tip rooting there is probably a step by step tutorial.I just read the rose info. Good stuff. It actually gave me a little inspiration to look into purchasing some of those. Right now though, we have some black raspberry bushes growing by the hundreds in the woods nearby. Anybody have any experience with taking cuttings from raspberry bushes? I hear all you need is a new shoot but they've just started producing fruit so not sure how that applies.
The long canes bend over to the ground and the tips root in late summer. You can then cut these off when they have roots and plant them to make new plants. You could also cut off about 4 inches of the tip, remove some of the leaves, plant it with the growing tip down in the soil in pots or whatever, and these will root in about 2 weeks if you keep them moist. Right time to do this, IMO, towards the end of August.
