That kind of cane is a stress reaction to heat, herbicide, etc.. Multiple buds fuse and when they grow the flat shoot is actually two or three canes growing as one. It's not stable. Cut the tip off and any new shoots will be normal.

The belt cane sounds like a sport maybe?


Maybe. I didn't think of that. I suppose I should have left it until the
following year to see what kind of raspberries it would have given me.
