[@annak7905]

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!

[@YouCanToday]

Awesome. Thanks. Let us know how they'll do throughout the season.

[@glory_gate]

What i like most is your super cute young man.. he looks so curious 👶

[@YouCanToday]

Thanks :)

[@MrRight-MAGA-KAG]

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!

[@YouCanToday]

thank you! good luck with your raspberries!

[@michaelwatkins3842]

Much respect for your one arm pruning skills!!

[@YouCanToday]

I appreciate that!

[@Uiopuiop123]

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 :)

[@YouCanToday]

Thank you :)

[@marygoodsell3602]

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!

[@YouCanToday]

Glad it was helpful!

[@playnejayne5550]

I notice that they are lumped together with red raspberries, although they are quite different in the way they grow.

[@onemellowmarigold]

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.

[@YouCanToday]

Thanks Good luck with your raspberries!

[@Kevin-d3z]

Best video yet. I understand now about the pruning

[@YouCanToday]

Awe! Thank you so much!

[@mariehoover8686]

I don't want that helper 😂😂😂❤... but he's beautiful, God bless him

[@VonFej61]

Very nice, Berks county is in 6b also. I currently grow Mac Black & Niwot black raspberry's. I guess I need to make room for a row of Jewel 🤔

[@YouCanToday]

Hahaha. Once you get one variety you've got to have them all.

[@zepguwlthistle7924]

i also do pruning a little late... seems I have too much to do lol... i see what occupies your time, your darling baby

[@fs60600]

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?

[@YouCanToday]

That's so cool that you are going to do that. Definitely makes a difference with berry production. We are working on irrigation video and we'll have it posted soon. Thank you for asking.

[@kidgloves2]

Do you fertilize your raspberries?

[@YouCanToday]

Yes we do. We add chicken manure, pot ash, wood chips and compost tea. About once a season in the spring. We are planning to make a video about it.

[@rockerobertson4002]

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

[@YouCanToday]

Thanks for watching our video. If you tip offshoots, it will trigger them to branch out. I never do that as that will lead to small berries and weak canes. If you leave the long canes till spring, pruning them back after the last frosts you will have a good crop of berries. If you want to propagate the long lateral offshoots are the ones you need to tip layer into the ground.

[@rockerobertson4002]

@@YouCanToday dam.... too late. I removed the tips as.they were getting too long and in the way.

[@YouCanToday]

@@rockerobertson4002 You can cut them off once they go dormant wherever they start branching out again. Basically tip the lateral tips once they are dormant, that will ensure a good crop next year. Then again, depending on what zone you are in they may not branch out if it's close to when they become dormant.

[@rockerobertson4002]

@@YouCanToday eastern Ontario. So dormant in November onwards. Thankfully only removed the tips of some of.the laterals. Tks for your help!

[@shawneenhammer4241]

​@@YouCanTodayOh wow thank you this is the exact information that I needed in my zone 3 here in North Dakota. It is only March but I was wondering how late I can prune them and last year I did not give them a final pruning after the last frost in the spring and they were totally out of control but gave me pounds and pounds of berries 🥰

[@resimcdevitt8041]

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

[@YouCanToday]

Good question! From my experience and the wild black raspberries that I tried pruning, no. The wild varieties don't do well when pruned. Their canes tend to dry out or get infected with funguses when they get pruned.

[@JimmitheV]

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

[@YouCanToday]

You can. The purpose of the spring prune is to create a shorter fruiting cane that results in larger more juicy berries.

[@yerneedsry]

you dont need to disenfect between canes?

[@YouCanToday]

I'm not sure I understand your question. Disinfect what?

[@shawneenhammer4241]

I carry a small bottle of rubbing alcohol and I disinfect between canes. This has worked very well for me. I am in North Dakota zone 3

[@ChingRoarz]

Shit I told my wife to prune all the blackberry early spring because they were too long and I thought but prunting all of them they would get bushes like raspberries but then now I realized it won’t…. Is there any solution or just wait til new sprout grow out???

[@YouCanToday]

oops...you'll have to wait till they grow new canes LOL

[@lydiaahubbell8545]

You need a baby sling

[@shawneenhammer4241]

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. ✌️🕊️🫶🌠🌏🌍🌎🌌💫🫵🌱

[@YouCanToday]

Wow! Zone 3!!!! That sounds cold! Thanks for watching and for the comment. Happy black raspberry season!
