Pruning Raspberries

Pruning of Fall Raspberries is Best done in Spring to give canes a full season to grow and are harvested in Fall. They are also called fall bearing raspberries or Primocane since they produce the same year as they grow. I no longer grow summer bearing raspberries (floricane raspberries) since having discovered fall bearing raspberries. Which type do you grow?

I learn something every time on this channel! This time, how to eat raspberries 😂 Love it!

[@StefanSobkowiak]

Glad you like them! Try it on all small fruit.

[@tmzumba]

I read your comment before I watched the video, and I thought I was going to watch an April Fool's video. haha I've always eaten raspberry by the handfull. So pleasurable!

[@DavidfromMichigan]

This guy. I tell ya. I don't even finish my first cup of coffee before I'm watching his videos. Excellent content. I grow Caroline, royal purple, Annie gold and Joan j. I haven't had very good luck with my Caroline although I heard they are the best. Now the royal purple and the Annie gold.. wow!

[@StefanSobkowiak]

Hahaha and you’re the kind of subscriber that makes a channel. Thanks for the laugh.

[@p0ln]

your enthusiasm is infectious, thanks for the tips

[@debkincaid2891]

Your timing couldn't have been better! ❤️

[@jeffmartin693]

that is the exact reason i chose fall berrys many years ago!

[@d-sow-13]

You're damn right! By the handful is how I want 'em

[@Redhackle]

That was very interesting.

[@roccoconte2960]

Great video stephen 👍

[@offgridcurtisstone]

Loved this Stef.

[@StefanSobkowiak]

Thanks Curtis, keep on YTing.

[@mathieulapointe7147]

thanks for the tip! I got yellow fall raspberries since las year I will surely cut them down when the 3 meters of snow on top of it will have melted

[@heherttu]

I'm in Wisconsin. Because of SWD I grow summer fruiting raspberries (Killarney, Royalty, Jewel and K-81-6). I cut the floricanes down to the ground right after cropping or harvest, reduce the green canes down to the 4-6 strongest, tie the green canes to the wire in a fan shape and I'm good to go, just like Monty Don thought me.

[@DennisDinges]

We grow both summer and fall raspberries on the border of our small backyard. The summer variant I have moved a bit to pots and otherwise they grow in the front row before the fall variant. What I did last year is twirled some hemp ropes over the fall raspberries to hold them upright as much as possible, and not too stiff so they do not break with violent winds (rarity). That worked out great! Without it they will hang forward due to the weight of the fruit.

[@Geertm1000]

Thanks for the great video. I'm still thinking on what fruit shrubs to plant between my trees, so no pruning here (yet). In our place, spring is also very early this year (last week 18° C). 5 cherry trees already in full bloom. This weekend though, there's frost predicted. It's realy stressing when the seasons get hustled up like that. And to say that I'm still the lucky one with my permaculture orchard, only 5 of the 180 trees at risk. A local conventional orchardist came on the news because all 9000 of his pear trees are already in bloom.

[@StefanSobkowiak]

Absolutely diversity is a form of financial diversification. Nice job of starting.

[@HerrKarliseppel]

And a good thing is.... Fall raspberrys are not infested by raspberry-bugs . Its only a problem in summer ...I only grow fall raspberrys here in germany

[@phillyhippie]

Can you do a video on American beauty berry?

[@n0sr3t3p]

not sure how you'd do it, but might want to protect the stems for nesting bees/wasps

[@greengiant3815]

By the handful.... Lol. Freal that's how l pick my berries ,blue berries,strawberries black berries ,raspberries ,black raspberries,huckle berries ..fill up a bowl and dig in like agrizzly bear.

[@dwr44]

Fall bearing raspberries produce twice, so why not keep the canes and get the summer harvest on last year's canes?

[@StefanSobkowiak]

You can but then it pulls energy from the fall harvest.

[@dwr44]

@@StefanSobkowiak thank you for the reply, I did not think of that.

[@onlyintime9914]

fall raspberries are the easiest to prune

[@sharonclarke596]

What are some good varieties of fall bearing raspberries?

[@evaczarnojanczyk1432]

Heritage is a good one. One Green World nursery sells them.

[@StefanSobkowiak]

Depends on how long your growing season is. I like 'Autumn Bliss', 'Kiwi Gold', 'Fall Gold', adding 'Anne', 'Polana', and 'Autumn Britten'.

[@sharonclarke596]

@@StefanSobkowiak thanks so much!

[@johnlord8337]

Definitely a pain when knowing which kind of raspberry(s) you have - and when to cut primo canes or secondary cane species. Make it easy - whack them all down - and all new bearing canes pop up !

[@rjbuckets8897]

Thanks for the tips, I missed kind of the argumentation behind cutting them down. Will these second year canes not fruit? I've just pruned mine in half and they have already leaved out so I'm going to leave them be for now.

[@StefanSobkowiak]

Yes they will produce fruit on second year canes but it takes away energy from that falls crop. Leave some and try.

[@rjbuckets8897]

@@StefanSobkowiak Thanks again! I'm going to see what happens and take it from there.

[@josephcutler8870]

Just curious what are your thoughts on jadam Korean natural farming?

I have not tried them yet.

[@kellylansford7794]

Hello I would like to look into pruning apple trees. We recently bought a property that has mature trees but they look like a hot mess. I know they produce as there were apples all over the ground. Can I look at purchasing some time and I can send pictures.

[@JimCasler]

Look for his course on his website. Otherwise he is very expensive one on one. Good luck.

[@StefanSobkowiak]

Take a look at the first video (free) of the Pruning course for the simplest 3 step approach to pruning. Works well on hot messes also. pruningcourse.com

[@Skashoon]

Great tips, but I’m overrun by raspberries throughout the pasture. I want to know how to eliminate them where they’re undesirable. (And I don’t have enough pasture for goats or sheep) I know I can pay someone to bring their goats but it’s too expensive

[@StefanSobkowiak]

Roll them or mow them regularly (as goats would) that will exhaust the roots in 2 years.

[@Skashoon]

@@StefanSobkowiak Great idea, thanks! They’re a nuisance.

[@maryoshea933]

could you use what you cut to propagate to give to others.

[@StefanSobkowiak]

Never tried cuttings of raspberry since they sucker well.

[@turnipsucks6416]

Need some help. Raspberry bush we bought (bare root) died off. But now years later it's alive and well. The problem is 2nd year in no fruit or flowers are coming from the plant. Any suggestions on how we can correct this problem.

[@StefanSobkowiak]

Maybe it’s a fall bearing raspberry, which only flowers late summer.

[@turnipsucks6416]

@@StefanSobkowiak I wish I new. Bought the bare root plant at Home depot on clearance. Completely forgot everything about it. Just bought it to buy it.

You eat life by the handfull too.

Hey Stefan, get some new gloves!

Hahaha, I did, thanks for the reminder.

[@izzywatashi371]

This spring doesn't appear to be promising for any blossoming flora. I'm anticipating not to see a blossom until May. . . .God willing.
