As far as I know, summer raspberries fruit on last year's growth; autumn raspberries fruit on growth from this year.
(Sometimes they get a bit muxed ip, though
)
Although, I'm surprised that by now, end of June, that you haven't had any so far, so perhaps they are autumn raspberries. Hubby tells me that they should be trimmed right back in their first year though, and not to expect any fruit in that time - sometimes you can be lucky.
Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can help you out !!!!!
It shouldn't affect the rasberries unless they have stripped the canes of the flowers which the fruit will come from. Was it your first year of planting the raspberries if so they will flower and fruit next year after being cut down this year at end of season. Tell us a little more about when you bought them etc and can help you out a bit. Not very experience but been growing rasp for a good few years so will help where i can.
On a matter of my own that I need help, my raspberries this year do not have the flavour they use to. I have done companion planting and put in quite a bit of manure etc would that have affected the taste. Had a really good crop and very healthy but really dissapointed in taste.

My raspberry canes were given to me so I have no history but they have developed into multi stemmed bushes.They look very healthy since their premature "pruning". When I cut them back to the ground do I reduce them all or just leave one to regrow? I have had about 6 raspberries from them.
The more people I meet, the more I love my animals!

Cheryl: Maybe it was just the kind of year you've had or maybe the growth was at the expense of taste. One other possibility I was thinking of was that it may have fed the roots for next years crop and next year maybe a stupendous year taste wise.
Sandy according to Mr Geoff Hamilton, once the fruit is picked cut the old canes down to the ground, leave the new canes or tie them in place for summer fruiting varieties. Autumn ones grown on one year canes and so are cut down in late winter.
Will have to see if our blueberries are ready too but that needs working up to and gearing up as they are in the insect infested forest.
