That's how I got mine. They were purchased by my grandmother originally then passed to my mom's garden and eventually mine. I'm not sure what variety they are but the canes fruit twice this year's new canes are fruiting now and will fruit again in early summer next year then be done. I end up pruning 14 month old canes once per year in July.Root cuttings are the way to go with Raspberries, you'll be sure of getting the plant you want.
