There's a difference in the pruning techniques of Primocane and Floricane berries. Most blackberry varieties ARE Floricane, so it's important to know the differences.

@dianeladico1769 3 года назад

I am running out of space in my yard and have been debating whether or not to have blackberries but your oh-so-detailed and helpful videos have convinced me it will be worth the space and they'll be a success. Thanks so much for taking the time to make all your videos. You really are a blessing to your viewers. BTW, your blackberry trellis video was how I found your channel, but 'thistle is the devil' sealed the deal. I hadn't laughed that hard in a long time.

@BIGALTX 3 года назад

Are you going to try container berries or in the ground?

@dianeladico1769 3 года назад

@@BIGALTX I am going to do container berries for a few reasons. We have heavy clay and I don't want to do all that tilling. No matter how much I amend it, the soil in ground won't be as good as what I can bring in for containers. I like the idea of some degree of portability. Yours did so well so if I get ones for my zone they'll be fine through the winter. Lastly, I want to keep them contained. This way the berry patch will look uniform and tidier.

Since you have not harvested Ponca's yet, I'll let you know I planted some last year. They are very tasty, but I did not know how to prune them. So, thanks to you, I'll have a much larger harvest next year.

@danielarmer579 2 года назад

I too bought them for the newest sweetest University of Arkansas variety and saw information leading one to believe they were floricane also. Thanks for clarification.

That looks liked what I bought from Lowes👍ThanQ 4 the tips...mine is about 6 ft tall😳😳😳I'm thinking I need to prune like u just DID...right?

@BIGALTX 3 года назад

I would say so, but it depends on how tall you want them to get. I got greedy in the past and let them grow... I found out that when they get full of fruit (and leaves) the wind can catch them and blow them down. Sometimes breaking the cane off at the ground. No Bueno. I like to prune at 3 to 4 feet.

@Grandpaige 2 года назад

I've been watching for a while and last fall I planted 6 Navajo's (nursery did not have Prime-Ark Freedoms) and boy I'm glad I did. They produced like gangbusters this year! My question is: What time of year did you do this pruning? The video was published in August 2021 so I'm assuming it was close to then. My plants have become quite unruly and I'd like to prune them back now. Oh yeah, and I built my trellis exactly like you said! P.S. I was finally able to get some Prime-Ark Freedoms, planted them in March and got a tiny production. We'll see what happens next year!

@BIGALTX 2 года назад

I usually prune at about 4' tall (or just above my top trellis wire) This will force the cane to produce "laterals" below the pruned tip. Let these laterals get 16-18" long then prune them As for pruning out dead canes, as soon as they are dead or dying (it should be obvious that they are dead) I prune them out and discard them. Prune them out as close to the ground as you can. I should have a video up soon as to pruning out dead canes. Don't cut out anything that is not very, very dead. Yours may not have started to die out yet. You may want to wait on the pruning video... shortly, I hope :)

@anita89812 2 года назад

@@BIGALTX , Why do we need to prune the laterals once they are 18" tall? Does this induce further laterals on the lateral branch and more fruit?

@BIGALTX 2 года назад

Yes, it does... BUT I found something new out last year: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yRy41bYQGOw.html

If they are unwanted there are chemicals that would take them out. Otherwise... blackberries run and spread out. Not much you can do about it. That's why I have mine in containers... they can't go anywhere :)

I bought a Baby Cakes blackberry they say they are both in one, is that true? And how would I know how to prune it? Love your set up.

@BIGALTX 3 месяца назад

I looked it up and it seems to be a dwarf blackberry. I don’t know what they meant by “all in one“ but I don’t think it’s aprimocane. And, looking at it… It’s more of a bush berry instead of tall canes. So I’m really not sure how to prune it. You might want to talk to the nursery you bought it from and ask about pruning.

Let's say I prune it the way showing, then how do I prune it after I harvest bb next season ? Thank for exelent interpretation and sharing !

@BIGALTX 3 года назад

If they are "floricanes" the cane will actually die after it produces fruit. It's pretty obvious at that point which ones to prune out... they will be deader than a doornail. Here's a video on that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mBobS5rrlDA.html This is a "primocane" video, but the concept is the same... if it dies... prune it out.

@ronestes2187 Год назад

My 1 year old Prime Arc Freedom black berries made in thru a very hot early start. This spring a got maybe 3 gallons of berries off the old cains. The new cains are growing quickly and some of the new cains are putting on blossoms? Is this normal??

@BIGALTX Год назад

You betcha !! You'll have a LOT of summer berries off these new primocanes Then.. do NOT cut those canes out. These same canes (coming up now) will produce your spring crop NEXT year Keep them pruned (video on that soon) but do not cut them completely out.

@samuraioodon 8 месяцев назад

When is best time to prune here in Texas? Both prime and flora same time is ok? Thank you

@BIGALTX 8 месяцев назад

I prune out the dead canes that just produced berries when the canes are very, very dead. In Texas it’s usually June and July. As far as regular pruning, I do that as the canes get taller or longer than I want them to. That lasts throughout the growing season. I typically do very little if any pruning (in the winter) on blackberries. I have an extensive playlist on blackberries. Many of those videos include pruning tips for Primocane and Floricane varieties. Check it out

@samuraioodon 8 месяцев назад

@@BIGALTX thank you, i'm actually watching your vids here and there when i have time! i have primacane and got a free floricane from neighbor :) appreciate you!

@joshuatoral5105 Год назад

So with floracane varieties, you top them the first year, they produce the second year, then you cut all those canes out and start over? You essentially get one crop every two years?

@BIGALTX Год назад

No, you prune all during the year for productivity. In the early summer, when the blackberries have produced their fruit on last year‘s canes, they will start to die. When they are dead, OBVIOUSLY DEAD, then you prune them out. You will get blackberries each and every year, after the first year. I hope that makes sense. If not, check out the playlist link I sent you.

@cinejan 6 месяцев назад

If you are pruning them during the growing season, then yes. If they are pruned out after they have finished their lifespan, and are beginning to die, then no.
