- July & August is the time to prune and train blackberries. Join me in the Potager garden today as we take a look at how Blackberries grow and prune the old canes and train the new. I believe this technique is the secret to bigger, sweeter berries.

You are THE first person that’s ever mentioned identifying Primas from Floras by the leaf count, and I’ve watched waaay too many blackberry vids, including Dr Powell’s, so if he mentioned it, I missed that episode 😊. That is so good to know. Thank you! BTW I’m in central Texas now (8B), but I’m from Huntsville, AL. Enjoyed your vid.
You are welcome!
Is it the same for all blackberries, like natchez, arapaho, sweetie pie blackberry?
@@lburrsshinyhunts2253 Not sure, but I only have Triple Crown and Prime Ark Freedoms. It's true between these two. The Prime Arks, which are first year fruiting Primacanes (Floracane like), have 3 leaves. My Triple Crown has 5 leaves, since they are true Primacanes. Hope I said that right, but I'm sure I'll be corrected if I didn't 🙂
Excellent video, Tracy! Thank you. Hope you are healing up and feeling so much better. Much Love.
Thank you!
Did ya feel the hug? My dad gifted me a blackberry plant and it's been in my garden since spring. I did not build a trellis, nor did I know anything about growing them. I paused the video, ran to the garden, and found the primocane and floricanes...woohoo! I understand what I'm looking at now. No fruit obviously, but can build a trellis and prune and train still. So happy to see this video. Thx from Missouri 🙏😘
😊. I’m so glad this video was helpful
Happy gardening!
This is great! Dr. Powell would be proud of you.
Aawwwhh! This made me teary eyed. I hope so!
I am such a visual person it helps me be more hands on.thankyou for sharing part of your day with us.❤️
Thank you Shelley! Happy Gardening
Wow! This is the absolute best video explaining and showing the whole process!!! You answered every question that came to mind😊. Thank you so much. Plus, I just love your sweet nature…. You’re always so kind and encouraging. Have a blessed day!
Aaawwhh! Thank you Tina. So glad it was helpful!
I've watched several videos on blackberries. Yours is the best, hands down
Wow! Thank you so much!
I'm growing osage blackberries on my small patio garden it's their 2nd year love the berries from Maryland I have just 2 plants
Happy growing
I have prime-ark freedom plants so they produce on the primocane in the spring and the flourocane later in the season giving you 2 crops
That’s awesome!
Wow! I wish I would've found your video ages ago! I never knew the different numbers of leaves on primocanes vs floricanes! 🤩 Thanks for sharing!
hi tracy jason from cog hill menton you again on his live feed so I came over to subscribe
Hi Patricia! We are so thankful you have joined us! Welcome!
Tracy, thanks for putting this video up.
I will work on my raspberries tomorrow.
Recuperating from the drive him from Petals.

It was so nice to meet you! Thank you so much for coming to see us!
Clyde is adorable 🥰!
Awesome information friend!!! I will be doing this tomorrow and needed a little guidance. Thank you so much!
Excellent video and explanation.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great info Tracy. We are blessed to have wild berries all over our property every year. We just have to get to them before the deer do...lol Thank you again for sharing. Take care and many Blessings friend.
You are welcome. Happy gardening!
Same
Awesome explanation!
I’m so happy you are doing this vlog! This is my first year growing berries. I appreciate you
You are welcome Michael! Happy gardening!
👍 awesome instruction
This was the best explanation on how to prune blackberries. Thank you
Wow! Thank you so much for this video. Inspiring me to keep my berries.
I absolutely loved this video. First time I've seen your page. You have a new follower for sure.❤👍I've been growing blackberries for about 6-7 years now. And NEVER noticed the 3 leaf - 5 leaf thing. That's handy to know. Thx. Keep up the good work.
P.S I live in Dothan, Al.😊
We are so glad you found us! Thanks for watching!
So glad to see this ... I've planted blackberries and raspberries this spring and nearly ready to begin setting up the trellis system. Amazing tutorial, many thanks and I'm excited to follow how your blackberries are doing through out the growing season. All the best!
Exciting Jean! So glad you got your berries planted. Happy growing!
This was a great help for me! Thank you! I am a first time gardener and am growing my blackberries in pots right now because I anticipate moving, then I'll put them in the ground. I'll be watching this several times! If I have them in pots, would you recommend Less fertilizer for them and it seems all I have are primacanes... You are AMAZING! I am very thankful I found you!
Thank you! Best video on blackberries I’ve seen! Love your videos and gardens!
great video. thanks for the wealth of knowledge
Thank you so much for explaining how to train my blackberries!!! 🥰
You are welcome Lucy! Happy gardening
I need to get me some long gloves for the rose addiction you’ve given me 🤪😍♥️
Thanks for sharing the black Berry trellising tips! That’s one berry I plan to add next year. 🥰
Oh gosh! Once you start growing roses it’s , “where can I put the next one”😊
@@justdigitfarms 😂😂😂 true story!
So so much information. Thank you so much. You have been a great help to me 🥰
Great Judy! I’m glad it was helpful!
What an excellent video! Like others, I have watched a few videos but yours was the one that left me feeling confident to prune. I moved into my home last year and was delighted to find blackberries lining the fence.
This is valuable information! I better understand prima & flora canes; when to prune & how. I have new canes that have gone wild. I just put in t-post for transplanting & trellising. Ty!
Im new to blackberry plants. Nice video and thanks for the informations
Glad it was helpful!
GREAT info!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Thank you so very much
Very interesting. Thanks Tracy!! 🌞🇨🇦
You are welcome Ron!
Does this type of pruning work for bush varieties?
Lovely video, thankyou, 💜
You are welcome!
I have a nice raspberry row, they grow well here in east Idaho. I need to see how well blackberries would do. My little piece of property gets zone 4-5 summers, but the winters are more zone 3. Vey cold! But trellising looks easy and doable. 🤔
thank you for sharing!
What a great video. You explained everything so well, but I especially liked your attention to detail explaining how the lateral canes will grow on the vine, how long you let them grow and how far back to prune them. I still have questions about primocane suppression since I'm in a zone 5 and my season is only from May15 to Oct15. Do primocane suppression literally mean you cut all primocanes to the ground without letting them grow until a certain time, then you let them all grow until it's time to select next year's floricanes?
Yes but you don’t let all of them grow you select a few of the healthiest and let them grow and continue to keep the others cut back
Thank you so much ❤
You're welcome 😊
Great video!!!! South east Louisiana here (9a) i need to move my blackberries, I built the tpup system when should I transplant my blackberries?
Hey! Thank you I’m glad it was helpful! best time to transplant is fall.
Saving this one!! What do you know about wild blackberries (dewberries). I have TONS of these.
As far as I know you should be able to train the wild ones just like these
Great video. I had no idea to do that. All I have are wild blackberries. Can they be trained. I’m in North Carolina.
Hi Janet. Yes I believe they can
I am in Ontario Canada .This is my first year growing black berries. Should I be pruning all the side shoots I didn’t do much trimming , because I didn’t know .So far I put up a trellis not as nice as yours but there is something . We are in zone 7 .But I watch cog hill all the time that is how I found you. Also I grow elderberries they need pruning they have lots of berries but are too big ?
Hi Deborah. So thankful you have joined us! Welcome!
Great video! Very informative. We are in the north east and I was advised to prune the raspberry all the way down, so does that mean that these these are all Prime games that are growing now? Does this mean I will not get fruit this year?
Great and helpful video. My blackberry plants were a jungle. I spent time pruning according to your instructions. They look great and I’m looking forward to better berries next season. BUT here’s my question: the plants are actively putting out new shoots from the ground again. They will turn into a jungle again in no time. How do you deal with this? I realize these are the next prima-canes so I need at least some of them.
Oh silly me. I just watched your video again and you did address my question. So I have my answer. Thank you again. I think I’m going to be watching this video several more times.
I'm gonna go dig up some wild blackberry plants and plant them in rows and trellis them and put them on drip irrigation. They're free and sweeter than the thornless but if they don't make it I don't have a lot of money tied up in them.
Hey Charles! Blackberries are so tough. They will probably do well! Happy gardening!
So the prima cane will drop 2 leaves the second year and become flora cane? I’m confused about this part 😞
The prima cane is the newer growth that will become the flora cane for next years fruit
@robbielynnhowlethehomestea8761 To answer your question about the second year leaves on blackberries. The primocane leaves all have 5 leaflets on them. In the Fall they drop them all completely, the second year it has become a floricane and grows new leaves with 3 leaflets on them.

Hi Teresa! We are so grateful you have joined us! Welcome!
Does this information cover all blackberry and raspberry brambles
Hey Jen from my understanding I believe most varieties of blackberries and raspberries are perennial and have biennial canes(floricanes & primocanes).
I did ask Dr Powell about growing the raspberries on this trellis system and he said yes it would work wonderfully
I have thornless blackberry bush in container. I wonder if you would have different advice. My plant has gone wild with new canes and I'm overwhelmed as to how to make it more like a bush.
Love the bleach tip!
What about Himalayan Blackberries are they controllable? Worth it?
Just wondering if you can help me with blackberries that suddenly are so sour and tart that I literally have to spit them out. The first berry of the season was sweet but all others have been terrible. Thanks in advance
I thought you said you were going to add the link on how to setup the trellis.
Look in description under suggested videos
There is a link how to build blackberry trellis
Pruning especially so drastically is one of the hardest things to do to plants of any kind. We all know it’s necessary but pruning green off of anything makes me cringe. Lol I do it but always wish there was something I could do with what I cut off besides discarding it. Just a seed of thought to plant Tracie…a video on the correlation between garden pruning and spiritual pruning. As I said, just a thought. Saved this video for future reference. Where is the best place around Birmingham to buy Kiowa berries and when to plant them please. Also, does it hurt anything for them to be next to blueberries? God bless and happy gardening.👩🌾💙☀️
Hey! Actually God gave me some scriptures to share for this video and I got caught up in my task and I didn’t do it!😒. I will though! I definitely will. There’s so much correlation in the Bible with horticulture and agriculture. I love it.
Petals from the past is the only source I know for Kiowa blackberries.
You will be fine to plant them near your blueberries
@@justdigitfarms I’m glad you’re going to do that. Take your time with it. Choose you a relaxed setting and give all the Lord has given you about it. I think the same thing. My garden is where God meets with me. I agree. So much correlation between the two. My sister when she was just a few years old told my mom she knew Gods favorite color. When my mom asked her what it was, she said green because God put green everywhere outside. In the leaves and the grass and plants. Ahhhh the heart of a child. 👩🌾💙💙💙 Steel away somewhere quiet on this one Tracie and listen to the voice of God. It could be one of your best videos.
@@justdigitfarms oh and thank you for info on source for berries and where I can plant them. Happy gardening sweet online friend.
@@apiecemaker1163 oh wow thank you for this encouragement
I am excited now for Gods direction on this one!
@@justdigitfarms can’t wait to see it! I’ll ask the good Lord to help you. Enjoy your Sunday.👩🌾💙🙏
My laterals have grown 5 ft and some spots. Will the laterals fruit if you trim them?
