Winter Raspberry Pruning

In this video, Christof Bernau, covers the basic growth patterns of raspberries and how to winter prune them to maintain healthy vines and produce good quality fruit.

This was an excellent video. 👍🏻 I learned a bunch…Tytyty!
I especially love the portion about only pruning the top fruiting portion of the primocane and getting more fruit year two. 👍🏻

Glad it was helpful!

I don’t understand. Does the style of pruning determine when the plant bears fruit? Or does the variety of plant determine how you prune?

[@ucscagroecology]

The latter. May your berry vines prosper!

Thanks always learn from your videos

Whats the difference between floracane and primacane? Are they different kinds of raspberry or what?

[@ucscagroecology]

Primocane-fruiting raspberry plants can produce a limited number of flowers and fruits the first year, from late summer to fall, and then produce a second, larger crop of berries from floricanes in the second year. In contrast, floricane-fruiting raspberry canes produce no fruit in the first year.

My entire plant is on the ground. In the end of 1st year. Got tons of vegetation. How are yours standing up???. Mine looks like a vining bush almost. Please help

[@spencerchamp]

Yours might be a "trailing" type, while his could be "semi" or fully "erect"

[@ucscagroecology]

Did you put up a trellis or wires for the plant to grow on? Without support, like the wires used to hold up the plants in the video, the vines will just lay on the ground.
