You are the first video I could find that said WHEN to prune! I was going to prune this fall, but I now know I can safely wait until spring. Thank you!
Thank you for the images and explanations. I have a very old raspberry patch, though no trellising because we have the space. We just mow between the rows. The canes stand up themselves, and it's easier to get to the old canes and weeds.
Thank you for your video. I loved your idea of the fencing, and to tame those branches and make it easier to pick the berries. You’re directions are easy to follow. Take care.
I knew nothing about this topic and don't know much about garden in ng in general. But your video is so easy to understand. This is so helpful! Appreciate you spent time making the video available!😄
Thank you. A neat and concise explanation, just what i was looking for. Love the trellis method. I may steal that idea. All the best from Lancashire UK.
I came here to learn how to prune an overgrown bed of raspberries. Thank you for this tutorial. I really had no idea how to go about tackling this project. I have a question about the wood used for the supports. Did you use pressure treated wood? Regular wood won't last but pressure treated has the chemicals. What should be used?
Thank you for the video! Do you have a vid where you show how you trellis your raspberries? I like how they look, they can be contained better. I bought a raspberry cane in spring, it was sad, now I have 5 talk canes Falling over (the stick I provided wasn't enough support) so yesterday I noticed they are growing roots from the tips that are touching the ground 😂 So I'm thinking about pruning now. I'm in Illinois zone 5b
Very timely for me up here in MN. Once the snow melts, I'm getting out the shears. I hope you don't mind an slightly unrelated question, but we have a blueberry bush on the property that is quite old. We only get berries every couple of years from it, but a lot of times I think the deer beat us to them LOL. I want to move it into the fence if it's worth it to do so. Given it's age, it's likely going to be a bear to dig up and move. When do you think the best time to give it a try? Thanks! I really enjoy your videos.
Glad it's a timely video for you! As for your blueberries, you definitely DON'T want to do that now. The best time to transplant fruiting bushes in general is in the late fall/early winter. It may not look like it, but the plants are already waking up, and if you disrupt their roots now they'll suffer some nasty shock. Thanks for watching - happy gardening :)
Had a raspberry for five years and it still only has three or four canes. What am I doing wrong? I though about bending the canes to produce root growth but unsure whether or not it will work. i get around 15 raspberries each year and i want 150.
What type of raspberries are you growing? Im trying raspberries for the first time this year and got 3 different varieties (all good choices for my climate) and this way i can see which one will work best
Thank you for having such a quick, concise and quality video for this. Every other video was 20min plus and I needed something quick. I planted my first bush last year and I got 3 massive canes and I've noticed little ones starting. Had no idea I could dig up the babies and move em. Again, thank you!
@@cadavher You're welcome! And thanks for the "super thanks". You have the distinct honor of being the first person to ever do that for me. Pretty cool.

I clicked video because he looks like a man who delivers the straight goods. Not disappointed. 😂
I like you idea the way you plants your raspberries.

Thanks, that really helped me prune my raspberries! Great tip on the grey versus brown canes!
Glad it helped. Happy gardening!
Thanks for video! Answered my questions. My horse already trimmed what she could. Lol
Ha! Got to love those animal helpers. Glad you liked the video :)
Love the chop & drop advice!
What to do with live brown canes that are too tall ? Just prune to an acceptable height ?
You can definitely prune them to an acceptable height. I do that as well and I've never had any issues. Happy gardening :)

Thankyou for making this so simple for a novice gardener like me any tips in feeding please?
Thanks for your help! I would have done it now, in the fall.
I’ve learnt something, thanks !
Glad you took something away from the content :)
I was about to prune them SO wrong! So thank you!!!
Thank you. Now for my other question, how do I get rid of tall grass that has come up within my raspberry bushes?
Thanks, I’ll be pruning my berries in the next couple weeks too.
Happy pruning, Ryan!
Coming back again!
Helpful information. Wanted trellising information too and got it. Thanks from the Adirondack’s.
Can I still prune them in late May or early June? I live in Calgary, and its USDA zone is 4a.
What type or raspberries do you have? It doesn’t seem they have too many thorns. Are they ever bearing, fall bearing or summer bearing?
