I have two really overgrown raspberry bushes that have never been pruned properly and have been grown as a hedge...they are now out of control and all the new shoots are on the outside leaving old bare leafless wood internally...
I hope the photos can be of some assistance ...I'm sorry they aren't clearer...
What I have resembles a very dense hedge...maybe 8 ft high and 8 ft across...15 ft long
I want to prune it hard and am wondering if I were to cut back into the really old branches would I get new shoots next year or be left with a hedge that would take years to recover.?.
Not sure what type of raspberry it is ...it's never produced any berries because of numerous light trimmings throughout the year...
