Established red raspberries
Raspberry Pennsylvania
I have a 25 foot row of ever bearing raspberries and a row of summer bearing raspberries. The rows are parallel to one another, and about 5 feet apart. They were planted 6 years ago. Last year, I noticed the centers of the rows looking rather sparse. Now, it is clear that about one third of the center of each row is gone! Can I simply plant new plants in this empty space? Is there a way to propagate new plants from what is still there and growing? Also, the winter was very harsh. Could the plants have been killed by extreme weather?

When you say that the center has become sparse, do you mean the whole row in an even way (as if now you would have two rows separated from the initial row)? if that's the case, I think the solution (and the cause) is in the prunning technique used. about 9 years ago.
