I could remove all the old canes which fruited in the summer right now but I'd rather wait until spring to thin the new canes so I can see which ones are strongest and healthiest, and so I leave the old canes until spring to do it all at once. If you don't want a summer crop from a fall bearing variety (like Heritage or Polana) you can mow them all down any time after the foliage has turned color and fallen. -- Pat in Plymouth MI ('someplace.net' is comcast) Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

Canes that fruited should be pruned at the end of each season, leaving
one-year old canes that will fruit most vigorously next season. |
