Can anyone with experience please tell me when to cut my raspberries back to the ground. I am growing heritage and I know they are everbearing but prefer to cut them down for only one fall crop. Should I wait until after a frost or does it matter? Thanks in advance for all input.

Hi. JFREDT
I wait until it freezes and the leaves turn black, I cut mine with a sharp pruning shears, One year I used my lawn mover, but the blade was a little dull and I didn't have a clean cut, next spring they didn't come up ???? so I cut them by hand (I only have 15 foot row.) I also burn mine ( the cut canes) so If I have any cane borers in my canes, I well get rid of them. I am sure other people do it different than what I do. I hope I helped you out!!!

Thank you for your response. That is what I was planning to do just a little anxious to get garden in shape for winter and relax a few months.
