How long can I keep raspberry canes before I need to replace them?

Our Advice:

You can usually expect raspberry canes to be productive for 7-10 years before you need to replant with new ones (in a different place). Raspberry plants are likely to decline over time as result of virus infection, usually brought in by aphids. To get the most from them, always start with new, virus-free canes.
