Black Raspberry Spring Pruning Most Important Pruning of the year!

Pruning Black Raspberry bush is important. The most important time to prune is end of winter - early spring.

By the way - the best time to plant black raspberry plants is late fall.

That out of the way. Black Raspberry bushes require pruning in early spring. Why spring pruning of black raspberry is so important? The reason is that unlike other berry plants black raspberry produces more berry canes than it can sustain. If we don't prune our raspberry bush, we'll end up with small berries that will be difficult to pick in the messy tangle of fruit branches. If we do prune black raspberry, we'll get an abundant crop of large, juicy berries.

Black Raspberry absolutely require spring pruning.

Just bought a black raspberry from you. Delivery was fast and the plants are in very good condition. I look forward to the first harvest. Thank you very much!

I watched all your black raspberry videos.
TYVM now I have an idea of what to do. I have 3 thornless varieties, this is my second year.
I watched other videos and I think yours are the best!

Very helpful! We have several areas of wild black raspberries as well as red ones we just planted so this video helps so much. Thank you :)

This was super helpful, I moved onto a property that has black raspberries growing out of control so I look forward to using your tips to prune them! Also, shout out to the cutest co-worker ever, lol.

[marygoodsell]

This was a great video because you did a great job and there are not a lot of info on this type of raspberry. Thank you!

Hi, thanks for sharing your experience with black raspberry! I’m looking into running drip tube irrigation for my patch. I see you are as well, what size tubing and emitter spacing do you recommend?

[rockerobertson]

Great video. Can you pinch off the fruiting offshoots when they are green, during summer?

[resimcdevitt]

I have wild blackberries all around the perimeter of my yard. Can I prune them the same way with good results?

[JimmitheV]

Can you prune your offshoots in fall/summer instead of early spring?

Thank you thank you so much. I have beautiful black raspberries but never knew how to care for them everyone else goes into such complicated explanations that I give up trying to decipher even what they mean you showed us as you did it and this was the best black raspberry pruning video I have ever seen and I am 62 years old.
Thank you from my raspberries they finally will have a season will they will not be on the ground because I was afraid to prune them for lack of a harvest. My black raspberries give me raspberries 3 times a year but I only get to pick two of them in the last one I leave on over the winter for the birds so I was looking for a pruning explanation for the springtime in my zone 3 here in North Dakota. ✌️🕊️🫶🌠🌏🌍🌎🌌💫🫵🌱
