  • July & August is the time to prune and train blackberries. Join me in the Potager garden today as we take a look at how Blackberries grow and prune the old canes and train the new. I believe this technique is the secret to bigger, sweeter berries.

    You are THE first person that’s ever mentioned identifying Primas from Floras by the leaf count, and I’ve watched waaay too many blackberry vids, including Dr Powell’s, so if he mentioned it, I missed that episode 😊. That is so good to know. Thank you! BTW I’m in central Texas now (8B), but I’m from Huntsville, AL. Enjoyed your vid.

      @@lburrsshinyhunts2253 Not sure, but I only have Triple Crown and Prime Ark Freedoms. It's true between these two. The Prime Arks, which are first year fruiting Primacanes (Floracane like), have 3 leaves. My Triple Crown has 5 leaves, since they are true Primacanes. Hope I said that right, but I'm sure I'll be corrected if I didn't 🙂

    Did ya feel the hug? My dad gifted me a blackberry plant and it's been in my garden since spring. I did not build a trellis, nor did I know anything about growing them. I paused the video, ran to the garden, and found the primocane and floricanes...woohoo! I understand what I'm looking at now. No fruit obviously, but can build a trellis and prune and train still. So happy to see this video. Thx from Missouri 🙏😘

    What a great video. You explained everything so well, but I especially liked your attention to detail explaining how the lateral canes will grow on the vine, how long you let them grow and how far back to prune them. I still have questions about primocane suppression since I'm in a zone 5 and my season is only from May15 to Oct15. Do primocane suppression literally mean you cut all primocanes to the ground without letting them grow until a certain time, then you let them all grow until it's time to select next year's floricanes?

    • @justdigitfarms
      @justdigitfarms  6 месяцев назад

      Yes but you don’t let all of them grow you select a few of the healthiest and let them grow and continue to keep the others cut back

      @robbielynnhowlethehomestea8761 To answer your question about the second year leaves on blackberries. The primocane leaves all have 5 leaflets on them. In the Fall they drop them all completely, the second year it has become a floricane and grows new leaves with 3 leaflets on them.

    Great and helpful video. My blackberry plants were a jungle. I spent time pruning according to your instructions. They look great and I’m looking forward to better berries next season. BUT here’s my question: the plants are actively putting out new shoots from the ground again. They will turn into a jungle again in no time. How do you deal with this? I realize these are the next prima-canes so I need at least some of them.

    Pruning especially so drastically is one of the hardest things to do to plants of any kind. We all know it’s necessary but pruning green off of anything makes me cringe. Lol I do it but always wish there was something I could do with what I cut off besides discarding it. Just a seed of thought to plant Tracie…a video on the correlation between garden pruning and spiritual pruning. As I said, just a thought. Saved this video for future reference. Where is the best place around Birmingham to buy Kiowa berries and when to plant them please. Also, does it hurt anything for them to be next to blueberries? God bless and happy gardening.👩‍🌾💙☀️
