Things You'll Need:
- Bypass Pruners
- Trellises
- Twine
- Twine
-
Step 1
Cut all first-year canes back to 3 feet in midsummer with bypass pruners to encourage lateral branching.
-
Step 2
Tie each lateral branch to a horizontal support, such as a trellis, with twine as it grows if you've planted a trailing variety (or if you simply prefer to grow an upright variety on supports).
-
Step 3
Prune each lateral branch to about half its length in late winter or early spring; then, after harvest, cut to soil level all canes that have borne fruit.
-
Step 4
Keep an eagle eye out for new plants, and keep canes thinned to about 6 inches apart.
