Nice! Grow Bigger! Volunteers are always the best plants😀!
Thanks for this! So i take it summer bearing raspberries would work the same way? Also wondering if you can propagate the cuttings? I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us!
Thanks for the tip! I’m going pruning today!
Is this true of raspberries also?
I started pruning mine like this two years ago. Now I dehydrate the leaves of the new branches that I prune. It makes a very healthy herb tea.
Looks like you have thornless – my favorite 😍 Tipping canes is super important, yes!
Make sure to net them now to protect from the birds. #protectwhatyouvalue
Just wondering if I can use this technique on my very tall tomato plants? They are just too tall for me.
Great reminder to get on the blackberry pruning this or next week! Thank you – helpful and informative as always! Former Michigander living in the Virginia Piedmont – ten very productive blackberry plants – and hundreds of wild blackberries along the swales that lead to the creek! Great tips!🌿☀️🕊️🎉
Thank God for the birds. Thanks fir sharing
Heading to my super long canes now, thank you!
Asking: do you have a video you may have done to suggest how to prune blueberries?
Can't wait to try this !
LOL I dont have to prune mine, the deer are eating the canes and the damned squirrels are picking off all the ripe berries.🤬
You might be amused to know that I watched this video to learn how to encourage the Himalayan blackberries in my yard to not produce more fruit! (This type is a monster you don't want.) In looking at your canes, the berries are held differently on the canes. Cane growth appears similar. Sadly, I may be enabling them.
Black berries really want grow here zone 4/5. I think I’ll stop treating them like weeds. Thanks!
GM☕️☕️. Thanks for the morning tip !
Have a great day 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Love this tip. I unfortunately cut a few overlong canes totally off to the main stem because they were getting in the way when trying to get to the veg beds on the other side. I know now what not to do or what I really should have done.
On the plus side there's loads of wild blackberries growing along the railway lines running by past our neighbourhood. So going to head there soon to find out what's ripe for picking.
Dose he that work for blueberry to
Do you do anything special to overwinter them in Michigan, I live nearby and have my first blackberries this year.
Excellent info!
After my 4-year old grandson and I picked blackberries last year, I pruned the bush, and now it's climbed up into a tree! It's okay though, since all the canes go to the ground, where we can pick to our heart's content, like picking apples. Mild pruning is good for most plants. Just make sure you take no more than 1/3 so you don't shock it. Also, while berries are in production, pinch off any new canes or shoots so all the energy goes into making the fruit~🤩 #ILoveBerries 💜🫐
Can you propagate clippings?
I have a blackberry bush that I was about to give up on, but it sounds like there might be enough summer left to try this out and see what happens. Thank you!
Awesome!
Oh.. I'm doing this right now! ❤
Is there anything to encourage blackberries to be more sweet less tart? Or is that a feature of the berry type
Will this work for raspberries too? 😊
Can you do this with Black Raspberries?
This year I pruned mine in the spring and it did the exact same thing!
What is done with the second year fruiting canes after it has produced berries?
Luke does this technique help Anne and Prelude Raspberries also?
Thanks Luke, I needed this info right now.
Well, this is something a first year grower can observe in the garden…
A knowledge or a basic concept of hormones and pruning connected with one season observation creates a routine of managing your fruit trees and berries shrubs during summer. I’m shocked it comes as a surprise for a seasoned grower
Super-timely video! My canes were growing taller than the 8-ft fence they were growing against. The neighbor on the other side chopped them off. Jerk. But, I guess he was doing me a favor, although I would have preferred to do it myself, lol,
THANK YOU
Trifecta plus is worth every penny of the price I have experienced such a big difference in my food growth and production ty Luke
I had a similar experience. It took 3 years for my blackberry plant to adopt and yield fruit.
Will raspberries benefit from this method also?
Bro got a thornless blackberry free via birds 😂
Brilliant! Of course! We've planted blackberries for the first time this year so I'll file this idea for the future. (Spent the last two years getting several varieties of red and black raspberries established.)
Will the cuttings root in water or soil?
This is awesome! I'm going to attack mine with the slippers when I get home. Thanks! Any tips for getting more blackberry plants from cuttings. I've had no luck doing this with blackberries.
I have a wild blackberry plant too but it always dies off and the next year will shoot out new shoots which get berries. What am I supposed to do with that thing😅
Thank you so much for this! Question: should we do something with the canes that bore fruit at the end of the season?
Thank you so much Luke! I really needed this advice. Now I can grow big!😊
You must have thornless blackberries. If I grabbed onto mine like that I would lose a hand😂. I just made blackberry vinegrette. So good.
