How to Train Blackberries and other Trailing Berries for Maximum Yields

- In this video we explore how to best prune and train blackberries and other trailing hybrid berries such as loganberries so that they produce a bumper crop year on year. It is best to do this from late September onwards after the last crop and should be done before Christmas in zones 7-8. I hope you enjoy and if you have any questions then please do not hesitate to ask!

This is the only video that I have found that shows how to properly trellis blackberries. This was information that I desperately needed. Thank you so much!
Me as well!
i know it is pretty off topic but do anybody know of a good place to watch new series online?
@Khalil Jedidiah lately I have been using Flixzone. Just google for it :)
@Zane Dexter definitely, have been using FlixZone for years myself :)
@Zane Dexter Thanks, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I really appreciate it !!
Hi from San Francisco :) Hands down the best video I’ve found on caring for loganberries. I have 3rd generation loganberries (from my lovely grandma Eleanor) and have been wanting to care for them properly. Can’t thank you enough for this wonderful tutorial!
Hello from North County Rural San Diego (yes, where we have terrible fires and gorgeous weather) Watched your video last year. Followed your recommendations. Got an incredible harvest of boysenberries this year. I have a 6 foot chain link fence. Instead of using ties I'm able to use slightly bent lengths of sticks woven through the chain to attach my canes. It easy, cheap and for the most part they stay put. They snap off easily when I removed the canes. Having several, close horizontal rows, has shielded the berries from heat and hides them from marauding birds. I love your videos.
Thank you for showing a realistic picture of dealing with blackberries. I don't think I'm prepared for that right now. Someday, maybe having blackberries will be lovely.
You got a gorgeous handy assistant over there. Your father is funny! Awesome video! looking forward to more father and son video, it's pleasant to see. thank you!
Thank you for the video! I like this way of trellis because once it’s time to prune it’s easy to remove! Right now my are interwoven and it’s a pain to keep sticking it everywhere :)
Great video. I just bought my first Loganberry plant yesterday and can't wait to see how it will work out. This will help a lot!
Hey Huws
my humble suggestion....
you and dad should post a videos at least every week.
+Carnatic Fan Yes we should! I do try but it's hard with school. Once I finish this will be my full time thing. :)
I think if you’re in a very cold climate, it would be better to do this in the spring and leave the canes lying on the ground through the winter to protect them from the cold. Also, maybe cover them with something to proved more protection.
Without a 'handy assistant', holding the tip in position with a releasable cable tie helps, whilst you do the main ties.
I didn't know this could be done and it looks fantastic. Thanks!
+Chele Hennebeck Good luck and thank you so much for watching :)
Pretty neat video actually. Shows how putting in a little thought and effort about what is going to happen in the future will pay dividends! Cheers.
Mmmhummm. Handy assistant indeed 😘
And from experience, LEATHER gloves and a woven fabric (not knit fabric) sweater/shirt. Even fine knits (like tee shirts) get caught on thorns more easily
Great vid guys. Thanks for sharing.
+Rob Backyard Gardenerr Thank you very much!

Other than cutting down primocanes after they fruited, do you prune or tip your trailing blackberries?? Thank you!

Thank you for watching :)
I am looking for a fruit-producing bush or vine that can tolerate no direct sunlight to replace the holly bush that currently covers our unsightly, home gas meter. Any suggestions? I was thinking blackberries.
Arctic kiwi might work; they're surprisingly happy in the shade.
