    How long does it takes for raspberry bushes to emerge?

    Have planted raspberry and blackberry bushes but all I have are what looks like just sticks. How long do I have to wait?

    If the canes have not already been cut back to approximately 15-22cm (6-9in) prior to planting, this should be done immediately afterwards. This will encourage new growth from beneath the soil level. The existing cane will normally (but not always) produce fresh growth in the spring but the new growth from beneath the soil level may not show until the early part of the summer. When the new growth appears, the existing cane should be cut down to ground level to ensure the production of strong new canes.

    Wow, thanks. I'll go cut the "sticks" right away. Was wondering why they are nothing more. Underground, huh? This news makes me feel better. ..

    Very informative site there. Now I'm intimidated. I just wanted to stick them into the ground and hope for a couple of berries before the birds got them all.....
