Have you been pruning them like everbearers? (As some do, cutting all the 
canes down in winter.) That wouldn't work if these bear only on second-year 
wood.

Subject: [nafex] Purple raspberry issue
 

I've had some purple raspberries growing in my garden for about three years 
and though they are vigorous and healthy plants, they have not produced any 
sign of a flower or fruit.  They are in raised beds and my soil is fairly 
heavy but there are everbearing raspberries growing right next to them that 
produce fine.  Anyone know why they aren't flowering?  I'm ready to take them 
out because I'd rather grow something else if they are not going to produce 
at all.  I've had trouble finding much information about purple raspberry 
cultivation.

Dan,
The Purple Raspberry I developed for Minnesota is twice as vigorous as my
black raspberry and produces more fruit.  I will probably do just as well in
Missouri.  It does well in a well drained soil.
