Raspberry and loganberry pruning is this correct

**Kirk** · 20-08-2013, 10:07 AM

Raspberry's after they have fruited, most do it early or late winter. Possibly better to leave any stems there with leaves on as this produces something for the plant.

Tayberry and Loganberry they fruit in the second year so again after they have fruited (if you can get near them to prune). Make sure you don't prune any first year growth.

I have found Tayberry/Loganberry will fruit a little of 3rd year wood then the cane dies. So having missed any (garden is WILD) I simply remove the obviously dead stuff. Also they may fruit a little on first year canes so be careful there as well.

Very likely easier to cut these back after fruiting as then less chance of mixing up new/old canes.

Thanks for the help I just picked the last few tayberries and loganberries and cut the fruited stems to the ground. Just wondered both of these have canes twice as long as any of the ones that have fruited, how much longer do they get before they fruit? As I think I need to rethink my bamboo canes as they are already at the top of what must be around 2m canes.
BTW this is the 1st year I have had any of these so I have no idea what I am doing.

Best way to train loganberries (and probably tayberries) is horizontally along wires. My loganberry easily produces canes 12 - 15 feet long.

I train my tayberry along horizontal wires, all to the right one year and the left the next. That way the fruiting and future stems are kept separate and its easy to prune.

Thanks again, I didn't even plant these in a proper line but I will try to work something out to grow them along.
