  • In this educational video, Dr. Arlie Powell of Petals from the Past shares Part I of how to increase your blackberry production by pruning for next year's harvest.
    At Petals from the Past, we utilize the TPUPS trellising system yearly on our blackberry fields and Kiowa Blackberry plants. This allows us to lengthen the lifespan of our plants and consistently maximize each cane's output of berries.
    We are located in Jemison, Alabama, and our nursery specializes native plants, old fashioned perennials, and antique roses of the Southeastern United States. Petals' fruit farm also grows pears, peaches, plums, nectarines, apples, grapes, persimmons, kiwi, blackberries, and blueberries, constantly researching and experimenting with the best growing practices for home and market gardeners. We hope our videos are helpful, encouraging, and inspire you in your horticultural pursuits.

    This entire video is an example of the best way I’ve ever seen on UA-cam to explain a gardening issue. He gets right to the point but doesn’t leave anything out and you can see very well what he’s doing. I applaud you sir. I’ll be doing everything you have shown including how high and far apart to put my wires. I love your tips along the way. I won’t pull when I’m caught by a thorn 🤗

    I don’t know why this video popped up, but now I have to go outside and look at my 2 neglected blackberry plants that I have never pruned and definitely need trellising. Thank you, excellent video.

    I just want to thank you guys for this and the earlier videos you put up on the TPUP system. I'm in my 3rd year of growing blackberries in my garden and it's worked great! Arlie, if you use a clothespin to anchor the cane while you're tying it, you don't end up with your hands full of thorns. I just clip one of the leaves to the wire and it's like having an extra hand while you secure the cane. Thank you so much for this new video - I will pass it on!

    Thank you very much !!! I have just planted first few blackberries/raspberries/ blueberries in my garden! I have so many childhood memories from my parent`s garden. They had beautiful blackberries. I knew some about how to take care of them but I have learned so much from you as well! Thank you for teaching us!

    Thanks. You seem like you are so experienced and I really appreciate somebody with all that experience showing us younger people of growing blackberries what we need to do. Thanks for the in-depth instructions. Probably one of the best instructional videos I’ve ever seen about growing blackberries.

    This is truly a Masterclass. Thank you so very much for all the detail and for your generosity with your knowledge and time. I learned so much from you that I feel confident that my production will be much better. Up to now it has been a bit of a "lucha libre" out there trying to get things under control. (That means freestyle wrestling where there are no rules.)

    I live in upstate NY, in the Hudson Valley. I grow thornless blackberries, it's my second year, last year my vines were small. This year they are 6+ feet tall and some branches to the side are 6-8 feet long. I'm having a hard time keeping birds away from my ripe berries. Im using bird netting but it's a pain to pick the berries as they ripen . Is there a better way in your opinion?

    How would this technique change for blackberry varieties from Univ. of Ark that are primocane? (i.e fruiting off of floricane and primocanes - berries in summer and in fall, until the frost kills it). I currently I have Ark, Prime 45 and Ark Freedom.
