Last year I did what he said, I was a little fearful because this was my first time with raspberries. I did exactly what he said and this year they are loaded. The birds have noticed how wonderful they are, anybody out there nervous about trying, go for it you will be pleased.🤩
I cannot tell whether my raspberries are all year or the other type. With this method I will be able to tell. I had no idea why they fruited and dried. Now I know. And how do you stop the birds?
Every time I prune my raspberries and blackberries, rather than discarding the part I pruned off, I plop it in a pot of compost and in a few weeks I have a new plant. Also, if te cane is too long and it can touch the ground, I take the tip and bury it in the ground and hold it down with a brick or huge rock. Again, in a few weeks, the tip has grown roots. I then cut it at a good length and again have a new plant. I also make sure I cut a cane down to the ground after it fruits. It makes it easier to prune as you go along.
man, compared to the recent videos this one is at about half hype level. Now the videos are MAX ENERGY and HYPE OFF THE TRAIN INTROS! SICK JAMES ... SICK!
Honestly, I've always been watching all your videos and whenever I watch, it's giving me a calm and relaxing vibes and a positive energy. Also, your videos help me relieve my stress. Always take care and so is your family. Thank you for always giving us these wonderful videos ❤
wow..your black caps berries look fantastic.. going to apply this method to mine..never prune them before just pull out the ones shooting up left and right I did not want
That end comment was super helpful. I don't know what kind my raspberry is but my dog chewed the canes down to the ground a year ago and a barely got any fruit this last summer. I'm hoping to trim it this year in a way that I'll get a real harvest this year.
I've been waiting on this video James, so thank you very much. I just pruned mine today and this video justifies exactly my philosophy on how to prune blackberries and raspberries... you sir ,are the man. :)
I have everbearing raspberries and blackberry be sure to stake/trellis them up the plant gets really heavy with fruit We just covered them now as berries are forming to prevent the birds from cleaning the bushes clean.
Thank you!! I do wish that the gardening videos on you tube would be more clear about 2 things 1. specific area of country and 2 .growing zone. 4or 5 or 6 and so on.Thanks again.
Hello guys I’m so excited , I have purchased lots of sweet things to sow in my garden can’t wait to get dirty and sweaty because I know the wait is not that long for the good stuff 😁❤️❤️❤️😁🍓🫐🍓🫐🍓🫐🍓🫐🍓
After MANY years of renting I’m now in the market looking at homes! Can’t wait until I have my own food forest & head of security like Tuck. I’m in CT so we have similar zones. Hoping to be as successful as you are.
Jameson Jones- I don't know you, and you don't know me, and this is very off topic to the vid, but as a fellow fan of this channel, I would encorage you to research the trends in housing prices in your area since the last recession. If prices have shot up drastically, you may want to consider to keep renting until the next correction. We are overdue for another one based on historical cycles, and there are some of the same warning signs as before the last one. Two of my friends who didn't heed my warning in 2005 paid dearly. Owning is great. I don't want to discourage you in any way. But the banks/lenders will not be honest with you on this topic. They get paid either way. Best of luck.
@@allanturpin2023 The next correction may be 8+ years from now when house prices have since doubled or tripled. There's no way to outsmart the market. The banks have hundreds of PhD's and billion dollar super computers. The only thing you can do is get lucky unless you're some super genius like Peter Lynch or Michael Burry.
Justin Fiorini - the manipulation of the markets by the "phds" is documented, and waiting for a correction doesn't require any expertise, but you are correct it's a gamble... which is why I included multiple qualifiers.
@@suffolkshepherd- yeah, well, for my next prediction, the bottom hasn't been reached yet. Soon though. Some people are determined to buy high and sell low...
This video is fantastic. My wife and I are growing a variety of raspberries and blackberries. Thank you for providing such clear information! I couldn’t click subscribe fast enough!
as always ,,,, love your videos James . All those berries. I'll be very real here, your last video you mentioned your berries ,but it went over my head. With this video I saw what you meant and I get it now !!!! I see where you cut and where that branch burst out lots of little branches full of berries..... Thank you for clarifying it for me !!!
Hi I enjoy watching your posts, I’m in Melbourne Australia and have grown raspberries for 15 years. I cannot remember the variety I bought as it is too long ago, I don’t prune my canes and they grow to about 7’ tall. I harvest from Nov-May/June, I find that by leaving the canes they start producing fruit very early rather than having to grow first. I harvest around 600 grams every two days, and have to admit that after a few months I get tired of harvesting so I call in family/friends to come and pick their own. I dug up a few canes last year and placed into pots as I sold my property, we are currently in Spring here and the pot of raspberries is in full fruit already and I know that when I buy my next home I will have an area for raspberries as they will slowly spread over the years. I commend you for your enthusiasm and generosity of time as you regularly post and wish you abundant harvests. I too follow Back to Eden philosophy if gardening and know first hand the benefits of using arborists mulch, I always applied it as soon as it was delivered and had magnificent harvests. My soil after 9 years under my care was over a metre deep of black soil teeming with worms. I stopped having a designated compost area and just buried my kitchen scraps each day under mulch, this would be gone within a few days as the worms would make light work of the compost.
James I’ve got a first year blackberry and it’s probably about 8 foot but I’m growing it over a little trellis and down to the ground and when it reaches the dirt I’m going to sink it’s head and let it root. Then I’m going to cut it so I’ll have 2 bushes growing. I watched that on Doug and Stacy the homestead homies
Hi James I'm from India & have been watching your videos quite recently & liked it, I too love gardening but my home plot is not spacious , so by watching your videos I contend myself
Can't wait to really put this into practice. Lots of good tips. We inherited a large neglected bramble of unknown raspberry varieties when we bought our house. I cleaned it all up, and re-ordered the plants into rows last summer. I'll be trying your tips and topping the green canes when they get a little bit taller
Thank you! I have about a gajillion wild blackberry and black raspberry plants around here, and they never seemed as productive as I thought they should be. Now I know what to do about it!
James, you've inspired me to make my own gardening videos. My favorite ones to record are the harvests, like potatoes and apricots!! Recently I've been getting woodchips like every week. It's like getting candy lol. Thanks and keep it up with this great content!
I grow wiled sourced black and raspberries and I've never seen red and purple berries together. Here they grow pure purple and have a unique flavor. I'm near Niagara falls, here they call the mix Logan berries. Your leaves look the same though on your mixed plants.
Black and purple raspberries don’t all fruit on second year bilateral canes. Primocane purple raspberries do exist. It’s important to know if your raspberries are summer bearing (bilateral fruiting), everbearing (bilateral and primocane fruiting), or fall bearing (primocane fruiting).
A fabulous video! I have no idea what kind of raspberries I have in my patch, and this is the first video I've seen that gave a strategy for figuring this out. Also, it's just the right length of time, and I really like the quick recap at the end.
Black raspberries are my favorite berry..I have a couple rows of blackberries on my yard, something is nibbling on the tender leaves on the end. Possibly deer, I think..Your food Forrest is amazing. Thanks for sharing
James, thank you for this info. As I was picking my (few this year) black raspberries I was thinking: how do I prune them so they fruit better? And there it is - your video. Instant answer to my question. Thanks again!
Brilliant explanation James. I’ve got a healthy looking 2 year old summer fruiting raspberry bush here in UK, first few are ripening nicely but there’s a ton of fruit already. Gonna head out and prune to 4ft this years canes. Thanks a lot!
The black caps are growing like crazy in my back yard this year. I suppose I should actually put some work in since they want to be there. Pruning time.
James, if your raspberries are truly everbearing, they should be producing continuously from June until September or even October if the onset of fall is mild, as it sometimes is in Southwest Oregon. The same is true for everbearing strawberries. Thanks for your video.
Just did my own pruning - well, tip-pruning - of my blackcaps and blackberries. I also had to cut out a lot of dead blackberry canes - they don't seem to survive the winter for the most part, although I did get lucky with a few of the lower laterals, which might make me some blackberries this year.
thanks so much for the info. Have had raspberries (Think we have what you call black capped) in our backyard since we moved in 20 years ago and I have always let them grow left alone fearing I would mess up a future harvest. Now i can go in and prune them and clean up the tangle without worrying. Wish you could come up to Ct and give me some advice after a tour of my place lol
Oh James, In philly in penny pack park down by welsh road/Rhawn Street they have the most delicious wild raspberries growing EVERYWHERE (wineberries actually) oh how I miss harvesting those every August! Lol you should find someone who frequents to philly and get them to get you some cuttings!
Yesterday, I picked and froze 4 quarts of green beans. Beans growing really well, in my leaf mold, ground cover. Sweet corn, okra, and tomatoes are growing too.
Hi James ! Yesterday, While walking to the hoagie shop near my house in Philly, I noticed a bunch of wild raspberry bushes growing along the chain link fence by the railroad. Today I went back and took six cuttings and put them in a pot with good potting soil and used a rooting hormone. I'm hoping to produce a nice crop of fruit that I can share with my daughter who loves raspberries and blueberries. I wouldn't let her eat these berries where they are growing now because I don't know what kind of chemicals might be in the soil over the past 100+ years. They are growing all over the place.
yes nice video, what part of Jersey are you in?, I was born in Atlantic City grew up in Margate then we moved to Cherry Hill my mother always had a huge garden, I now wished I had paid more attention to her when she was trying to teach me, so I look at youtube videos like yours to catch up, have been living in Reno NV since 1976, turning the yard into a food forest, great video!
Great video, thanks! I’ve been winging it with my little raspberry plant. This video helped me understand more of what to do. Wish me luck! (Next…my little blueberry plant…)
Thanks for the simple explanation of trimming black raspberries. I wish you would have said something about how many new canes to leave from each clump. I read somewhere to leave 3 to 4 of the healthiest canes per plant. Maybe yours is so dense that you can't distinguish individual clumps but then what about spacing?

@@nuffsedd3408 bird netting even old curtain nets will work
Last year I tried a net to keep the birds off the berries. The canes tangled with the net. A real mess. Better practice is to pick them twice a day.
I play *"Iron Maiden"* on my outdoor patio when we're bar-b-qing, and my berry plants are 20 feet tall.
*THEY LOVE IT!*
It's refreshing to see other young adults doing gardening videos! Keep up the great work!
Your conclusion that you do at the end of the videos really gives the videos an extra high quality!
Thanks buddy! This is the first video I've watched that makes sense!
Oh Wow James! I planted 2 blackberry plants today in my Daughter's yard. Thank You for this information!
I planted two blackberry plants this year. Can't wait to enjoy the fruit next year. Now I know how to prune them.
Every time I prune my raspberries and blackberries, rather than discarding the part I pruned off, I plop it in a pot of compost and in a few weeks I have a new plant. Also, if te cane is too long and it can touch the ground, I take the tip and bury it in the ground and hold it down with a brick or huge rock. Again, in a few weeks, the tip has grown roots.

Thanks for the "tip" 😊 My gd loves raspberries so the more the better ❣️
I love the energy lol seems like such a nice guy

This is why I have a garden journal, so I can keep notes on how and when to prune, what types I have, etc. Great tips, thanks!
Good tip

Raspberry struggle here in Arizona, but we're gonna try them in a outdoor kitchen area where they have irrigation and shade!
I like how tuck just tucks himself inside the bushes 😂
I have everbearing raspberries and blackberry be sure to stake/trellis them up the plant gets really heavy with fruit We just covered them now as berries are forming to prevent the birds from cleaning the bushes clean.
One of the best descriptions for improving harvests, well done.
Ok thanks, After the spring harvest I'll be cutting at four foot all the new shoots in.
And get the black old ones out.
Thank you!! I do wish that the gardening videos on you tube would be more clear about 2 things 1. specific area of country and 2 .growing zone. 4or 5 or 6 and so on.Thanks again.

Great info! This is all new to me and very important because i just planted a raspberry. You are probably my favorite gardener.
So helpful, thank you!i just put in my first raspberries and blackberries last year and was just wondering this.

im not far away, gonna call u up this week
Very good info man. My problem, is that most of my patch came from gifted starters that I don't know their heritage.
Great video, thanks! I’ve been winging it with my little raspberry plant. This video helped me understand more of what to do. Wish me luck! (Next…my little blueberry plant…)
Good tips Mr James! Thank you for sharing it with us...

Thanks for the simple explanation of trimming black raspberries.
I wish you would have said something about how many new canes to leave from each clump. I read somewhere to leave 3 to 4 of the healthiest canes per plant. Maybe yours is so dense that you can't distinguish individual clumps but then what about spacing?
