| Is there a sure-fire way of determining whether a raspberry plant is ever-bearing or summer bearing? I have raspberries growing on my property that were planted by a previous owner of long ago. I have read on-line that everbearing raspberries can be mowed down at the end of the summer and they will come back and bear fruit the following year. I would like very much to mow down these plants at the end of a season but don't want to gamble on losing these plants. |

| I don't think you lose the plants mowing them down, you just won't get a harvest the following year because you won't have canes from the previous year to bear. But everbearers should be producing flowers about now or shortly on new canes for a fall crop (in my zone, you don't give your zone). And last year's canes should be approaching the end of their production. |
