South east England. One - raspberries.Two - plums.

Autumn Bliss. Plants about five years old. Excellent crops until this year.
Very poor and the leaves on several plants have lost their "green-ness"
Prune to ground level every year about January and feed with Growmore at
that time.

Victoria Plum. About 20 years old.  Never a very good cropper, but a couple
of years ago produced a bumper crop of excellent fruits. Last year about
half-a-dozen and this year nil. Prune two thirds of last years growth in
early Spring.

Any suggestions?

Alistair

I suggest you post this question in uk.rec.gardening where there are many
very experienced gardeners who have a lot of knowledge to help you.

You might have added that they have the benefit of local
experience :o)

Chortle.  I thought that would have been obvious, but given my recent
experience here, perhaps you are right.  I should have stated the bleeding
obvious. :-))
