    Can anyone help me please?  We have a Raspberry Tulameen which we bought last year. We got a few fruits from it last year, but this year nothing seems to be happening.  There are no flowers so we won't get any fruit.  I have researched on the internet but I can't find any information on why it hasn't flowered.

     The blueberry and strawberry plants are fruiting abundantly, so I am completely flummoxed!

    All help/advice gratefully received

    Hi,

    I grow Tulamen raspberries, in addition to American Heritage and Fall Golds.  My plants were started from suckers and took about two years to mature.  You have to cut fruit-bearing canes down to the ground immediately after you harvest fruit. If you did that, then perhaps the new shoots will not flower till the next year, as most raspberries will bear fruit on one-year-old canes.  It takes several years to have enough mature canes to get a good harvest.  This year, we had an abundance of rain and my Tulamens were HUGE!!  The more regular watering they get, the more and better the fruit will be.

     Thank you so much, at least I know that we haven't damaged them!!!!

    I look forward to getting good crops next year, as we did cut the canes right back.  Will ensure we don't do that this year so we get fruit!!!

    Thanks again,

    Best regards
