Blackberries
Newly Planted Blackberry Plants
Pinch or prune off the growing tips of all new canes to encourage
side shoots (laterals). This is where next seasons blackberries will grow.
Maintaining Bearing Blackberry Plants
FALL
Prune out all canes that bore fruit, shortly after harvest. (It’s
advisable to dispose of all clippings, either by burning or taking to the dump.
Dead canes can spread disease.)
EARLY SPRING
Thin canes to about 5 - 7 per plant.
Prune side branches on remaining canes to about 12 inches or 12
buds.
