===Propagation===
===Propagation===
Raspberries are relatively easy to propagate, as they are "weedy" and tend to take over gardens if not maintained. There are several methods.
====Suckers====
New plants will often spring up next to parent plants (suckers). These seedlings can easily and reliably be excavated and replanted in early spring. Sever them from the parent plant's root system and keep the rootball as intact as possible.
====Layering====
Layering, specifically tip layering, is the most effective, and can be done during the growing season after fruiting is complete. The growing tip is placed into a hole and covered with soil. The tip will work its way back up to the surface and roots will form at the elbow.
====Cuttings====
Otherwise, cane cuttings can be taken in early fall and planted immediately. A cutting should have several buds
If it is the middle of winter, root cuttings can be taken, stored for the winter, and planted in early spring.
