Can anyone help? I bought a raspberry plant and as a newbie put him out a bit early and it lost its 3 leaves. I don't have a greenhouse and it's in quite a bit pot, so I put him in the porch. As the weather has been so lovely I moved it into the coldframe. I have a small green leaf coming out of the soil near the base of the branch. I don't know if its a weed or if its coming back to life. What do I do? Any ideas?

Mine seemed like they had died, as all my other fruit bushes were budding like crazy.
The wee green leaf could well be a Rasp shoot, and mine did a similar thing. Leave it for a bit, and you should be able to tell.

The new leaf is probably the Raspberry's new cane growing. This is what the fruit will grow on.
Ours have been quite slow to grow, so I wouldn't worry if it takes a while. In fact, we only have growth on about 1/3 of our plants so far!
