Pruning the Wild Berry... How?

April 07, 2008

I'm digging into the topic of wild berry management.


Here in our Michigan yard we have tons of wild black raspberries. Our neighbors have wild blackberries. Very different critters! In our garden we have everbearing red raspberries. How to take care of these things? I'm trying to figure it out! I'll report back on what I find.

The trick is in the pruning. The canes are either, well, this year's or last year's and there is tipping and side-shoots. Maybe there's also the parts that have fruited. I'm still lost.

Later...
