When should you prune raspberries?
Prune raspberries after fruiting or in late winter, depending on the type of raspberry (summer-bearing or everbearing).
How to prune raspberries properly?
- Remove old canes: Cut back the canes that bore fruit last season, as they won’t produce again.
- Thin the rows: Space out the remaining canes to improve sunlight and airflow.
- Trim excess growth: Cut the tips of tall canes to encourage lateral growth and more berries.
How to propagate raspberries?
- Using suckers: Dig up young shoots from the base of the plant and replant them in a new location.
- By layering: Bend a healthy cane to the ground, secure it with soil, and wait for it to root before separating it.
