I planted raspberry canes a couple of months ago (along with other soft fruit) - everything else is starting to wake up (buds, leaves emerging) but the raspberries are still just sticks.

When will they start to grow? Will they start to grow from the ground (new stems), or out of the existing stems? And why can't I find the answer to these questions anywhere on the net?

Eta - Don't think they're dead, as when I scrape the stem it's nice and green underneath.

Idk. Much later than you think.

Both.

(based on the rogue ones at the back of our garden)

Hm. Seems implausible that they can grow fast enough to bear fruit before the year is out.

Also I hoped they would grow to cover an ugly wall. I see now that may not come to pass.
