After watching several videos I understand the different raspberry plants, when they produce and when & what to prune. YOU my friend made the entire process easy to comprehend and to follow your instructions with a visible tutorial. If I had only started with you 7 videos ago I could have skipped the following 6. Great job especially liked your recap of the 4 factors, 1-bing 2-bing 3-bing 4-bong, yep got it! Thanks so much : )
Your video gave me the clarity around this process I needed; It's seriously the only one I've found that didn't leave me with more questions. Thank you very much for your insight and guidance.
Lol. He runs around all day long and is in almost every video I make. He just loves to run. We rescued him from a tiny suburban house with almost no yard.
Great raspberry info, I just planted some boyne raspberries in between my fruit trees in our mini orchard, but I didn’t prune them. hopefully this summer we’ll have some yummy sweet berries.
Isn't it best to trim the primacanes to your desired max height in the summer growing period so they put out fruit bearing side shoots when the plant is at the most vigorous?
Thank you. Simply get as many of the roots as you can and put it in a pot. Keep it watered and they will stay strong for a while in that pot until you are ready to transplant.
Here in Eastern WA state, our garden is going on 3 yrs old. Our everbearing berries produce ok, but berries a bit small and not abundant. I have removed numerous small doug fir blocking the sunlight and have a good drip line system throughout. How and what should I be using to feed or fertilize the bushes to really drive production and size of the berries ? GO GREEN (literally) ! MSU 78/82
Go White! (96/99) The size of your berries could be the variety. As long as they have full sun they should be producing well. Check the ph of your soil too. They lice a slightly acidic soil. I have never fed mine, only mulched them. Hope that helps.
@@CountryLivingExperience Are soil ph detectors available in retail, reccomendations ? From my wood shop I have a lot of pine *some cedar too) sawdust and wood chips could this be used as mulch ? Go Green !
@@williamburr9175 You can sometimes find them at Home Depot or Lowes. I usually just order mine from Amazon. I think I have a link for one in the video description. The cedar and pine will be fine. Cedar is nice as it will repel some insects. Just be careful not to mix it into the soil, keep it as a cover.
When would you move a patch? I was think of doing it now or as early as I can work the soil so that they may not go into shock? Any advice would be very welcomed. Thank you
After a warm spring, our everbearing raspberry plants are growing taller than the net that keeps the birds out. Can I cut them shorter in June or does that mess up their growth?
Hi, enjoy your videos! Would there be a Raspberry species that could grow in sub-tropical central Louisiana. My newest Gran (of many) loves raspberries and I'd like to start a little patch just for her. Tks for your input.
I purchased 3 Anne varieties at my local nursery, and they told me to cut everything back to about 2 inches. I am so confused.. I am tired of wasting money and getting conflicting instructions. Does it matter the variety and how you prune? Do you happen to have a video on how and when you fertilize your raspberries? Thanks so much for your video.
You're welcome. There are different varieties of raspberries but I have always pruned mine like this. I learned how to do this years ago from the University of Maine Extension.
I have a question. People just trim everything to the ground in winter for their heritage raspberries, just run over everything with a trimmer. Will that way give less fruit in the season or can we do it like that?
@@CountryLivingExperience Thanks. Planning on using my fertile land for raspberry crop. 5ha of it, so i figured it would be easier to do like that if it wasn't such a big difference.
I have a question for you please , I live in Canada , Alberta ,I have boyne rasperries plants, just after harvested I cut the old canes and the weak ones on Agost 31/22 . I would like to know if I did right thing, please let me know thanks, also I would like to know if boyne raspberries fruit two times, in summer and fall.
@@CountryLivingExperience I’m trying Heritage, Latham and Dorman Reds. It looks so far like the Dorman Reds might have the hardest, sharpest thorns. Curious to find out the trade offs between thorniness, flavor, and productivity.

Awesome! Glad we were helpful for you. Happy pruning.
I agree
Your video gave me the clarity around this process I needed; It's seriously the only one I've found that didn't leave me with more questions. Thank you very much for your insight and guidance.
Awesome! Glad we could help.
Super helpful! Thank you. This is info I've been merely guessing at for a few years, at the peril of my plants. I'm on board now!
Glad it was helpful!
This is the most helpful video I've seen yet for my raspberries. Thank you!!
You're welcome
Great video. I have seen so many. Yours is great. Thank you
Thank you!!! Excellent instruction. I need to get out and get this done.
Thank you. Get ‘er done!
Great video, clear and concise. Thanks! Now I gonna go prune..
Cool. Glad it was helpful.
Delightful Absolutely delightful sir, informative. Thank you!
You're welcome. Thank you for the kind comment!
I am watching video back to back and I think the dog runs across the background in every video😊
Lol. He runs around all day long and is in almost every video I make. He just loves to run. We rescued him from a tiny suburban house with almost no yard.
Thanks for clear/pure usefull information
You're welcome.
great thanks for the info
You’re welcome
I live in zone 6a (eastern Canada) I cut all bushes off JAn-March.....Im not losing much in terms of fruiting....
Another great video. Than you! Please make a video on growing and using medicinal plants on the homestead.
Thank you. Yes, that is in the works. We did do a video on how to make a comfrey salve about 1.5 years ago.
Great raspberry info, I just planted some boyne raspberries in between my fruit trees in our mini orchard, but I didn’t prune them. hopefully this summer we’ll have some yummy sweet berries.
Thanks. You should have some great berries. Just make sure they get enough sun.
Isn't it best to trim the primacanes to your desired max height in the summer growing period so they put out fruit bearing side shoots when the plant is at the most vigorous?
Lol mine suffocated my other plants, here to learn how to tame them
They do that. I have to pull them out of some adjacent garden beds.
@@CountryLivingExperience lol mine plant themselves in the middle of my lawn
lol
Thank you.
You’re welcome
I’m in zone 5. January - March usually 3 feet or more of snow lol
Adjust for your area obviously.
@@CountryLivingExperience yes ty so much
Great video! When you say you dig up and give the down rooted pieces to friends and family, what's the best way to do that?
Thank you. Simply get as many of the roots as you can and put it in a pot. Keep it watered and they will stay strong for a while in that pot until you are ready to transplant.
Great video!! What is the large mesh fencing you use on top of your raspberries to keep them from falling over? Where can I get some? Thanks!!
Thank you. That fencing is a cattle panel that I cut in half lengthwise. They sell them at Tractor Supply Co.
What happens to your raspberries if you prune in the fall?

Now is perfect while they are still dormant.
Thank you

You can cut them shorter but you will get fewer berries. Just make your enclosure taller.
Ok what if they’re covered in a foot of snow in Jan-March where I live? Lol
You'll need to prune them back before the big snows take hold. They should be dormant at that point.

Thank you.
I am in East Texas at potentially the same latitude as you. I have good luck with Dorman Reds.

Yea, don't do that. That will give you less fruit. Heritage raspberries are everbearing.

Boyne raspberries are everbearing and should fruit twice. You should prune then in the spring though.
Nice advice, I have same boynes, Anne, and heritage this should work for all
What variety are you growing?
We have Dorman Reds. They do really well here.

I'm new to the channel. What grow zone is this?
Never mind it just said it lol
At 5:05, your pruners look like a bird.😂
Or maybe a fish 🤷♂️
Great video. I have seen so many. Yours is great. Thank you
