- In this educational video, Dr. Arlie Powell of Petals from the Past shares Part I of how to increase your blackberry production by pruning for next year's harvest.
At Petals from the Past, we utilize the TPUPS trellising system yearly on our blackberry fields and Kiowa Blackberry plants. This allows us to lengthen the lifespan of our plants and consistently maximize each cane's output of berries.
We are located in Jemison, Alabama, and our nursery specializes native plants, old fashioned perennials, and antique roses of the Southeastern United States. Petals' fruit farm also grows pears, peaches, plums, nectarines, apples, grapes, persimmons, kiwi, blackberries, and blueberries, constantly researching and experimenting with the best growing practices for home and market gardeners. We hope our videos are helpful, encouraging, and inspire you in your horticultural pursuits.

This entire video is an example of the best way I’ve ever seen on RUclips to explain a gardening issue. He gets right to the point but doesn’t leave anything out and you can see very well what he’s doing. I applaud you sir. I’ll be doing everything you have shown including how high and far apart to put my wires. I love your tips along the way. I won’t pull when I’m caught by a thorn 🤗
This guy is my new best friend. He succinctly explained what I need to be doing. Now I just need to get to work...
I don’t know why this video popped up, but now I have to go outside and look at my 2 neglected blackberry plants that I have never pruned and definitely need trellising. Thank you, excellent video.
I just watched this episode, and I can’t thank you enough, for such a good common sense video. Thank you,
I just want to thank you guys for this and the earlier videos you put up on the TPUP system. I'm in my 3rd year of growing blackberries in my garden and it's worked great! Arlie, if you use a clothespin to anchor the cane while you're tying it, you don't end up with your hands full of thorns. I just clip one of the leaves to the wire and it's like having an extra hand while you secure the cane. Thank you so much for this new video - I will pass it on!
I stumble upon your video by accident. But I want to thank you for making this video. I can’t wait to go outside an fix my plant. Now I know why it is not producing much. So grateful for the time you took to teach us.
Thank you for all the details. I'm on my second time watching it. You are a good teacher.
Such an amazing video, hands down the absolute best blackberry pruning/training video I have seen.
Music is lovely as an introduction, then enough is enough. I prefer to focus on the words.
Thank you, sir! Your training will move into the next generations. God bless you!
Wonderful information for this newbie very well explained sir… thank you so much what a great lesson looking forward to to many berries… stay blessed
This is truly a Masterclass. Thank you so very much for all the detail and for your generosity with your knowledge and time. I learned so much from you that I feel confident that my production will be much better. Up to now it has been a bit of a "lucha libre" out there trying to get things under control. (That means freestyle wrestling where there are no rules.)
Such wonderful information on BlackBerry Trailing thing this is one thing I have been so interested in and you have schooled me on thoroughly. Thank you for taking the time to make this video as a teaching tool to all of us your information is most knowledgeable and such a gift.
These videos will truly be a treasure for years to come, it certainly is to me.
I will be sharing the videos with many of my friends and family. I'm anticipating on the next video to add to my playlist of treasures!
Again thank you for sharing your Treasures with us!
Thanks. You seem like you are so experienced and I really appreciate somebody with all that experience showing us younger people of growing blackberries what we need to do. Thanks for the in-depth instructions. Probably one of the best instructional videos I’ve ever seen about growing blackberries.
The information here was very insightful and so much appreciated. I’m growing some blackberries right now and this was a wealth of information
Best blackberry tutorial I've watched, totally explains it, thank you
I appreciate the way everything was explained. Thank you.
Thank you very much !!! I have just planted first few blackberries/raspberries/ blueberries in my garden! I have so many childhood memories from my parent`s garden. They had beautiful blackberries. I knew some about how to take care of them but I have learned so much from you as well! Thank you for teaching us!
Thank you Sir! Very easy to understand and a great system. Appreciate your time and knowledge shared with us!
A very nice video- thank you. I always use a hemp cord because it is more sustainable. No plastic in mother nature.
I enjoy using as must plastic as possible.
Would love more information on Primocane suppression. Does that just mean you are cutting off new primocanes at the ground in April and May until mid-June when you stop cutting and let them grow?
I’d also like more information, please. Great video and instruction.
I saw a video saying you want to let the primocanes shoot up around 6 feet and you prune them in July. This triggers the off shoot growth. Once you prune it the main stem will no longer grow.
I’ve been trying to prune the primal canes but to be frank, they grow like buggery (English term which means exceedingly fast). Prune the tops off one day and by the end of the week the side shoots are three foot long.
Wow Dr. Arlie’s field is impressive
Why 3 and 5 feet? Would 3 and 6 feet have disadvantages or just increase growing surface? I ask because my posts are 6 feet tall and my row is 48 feet long. I see that extra foot of real estate above that 5 foot mark shining in the sun. I have not yet run my top wire- hoping for a response from the best grower I’ve ever seen! My own father was very passionate about his garden and I learned to listen well. He fed his dozen children well. You remind me a whole lot of him, and I am growing Kiowa with my teenage kids in our backyard. Trying also - I suppose, to pass on some wisdom too- Thanks So Much And please let me know if there is any advantage/disadvantage to a 6 foot wire, rather than a 5 foot wire thank you very much. A grateful Mom
I guess I have a new project for the weekend! 😁 Thanks, Dr. Powell! This is a great video series! I've already learned a lot! I always thought more canes meant more berries!
I wonder what his yield per acre is for sure. The plants seem far apart.
@@frankenz66 Yeah, I only had one 6' bed produce this year and it only had two plants in it; but I was able to get almost a gallon zip-top bag full this year. It's a rebuilding year! 😁
@@RESlusher That's a fair amount
👍
I love the wren..and the fact these are Kiowa... a tribe my great grandfather was able to counsel with to avoid their decimation by avoiding war.!
Good job and advice...!
Most, not all, U of Arkansas blackberry cultivars are named after Indian Nations.
Wow, the explanation is on point ive learnt a lot
Thanks for sharing
So glad for a new video on the blackberry trellis system. I have hade each one saved to a playlist since you first covered them!!
I need to get some Kiowas! Thanks Doc. I currently use a plastic fencing for my trellis so I have more places to tie off the plant. Great video Doc! Thank You!
Great information ! I have about 200 feet of my property on an alley that I've planted in blackberry. I think they look much better than a fence and I'll share with neighbors at least one good cobbler with them . Thanks for sharing this tip
Excellent information, and very easy to follow. Thank you so very much! Blessings Galore!
I’ve got some thornless blackberries (4). Gotta do what you are showing!!!
Thank you for showing these ‘tricks’!!
👍👍👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌
Thank you, Dr. Powell. I just planted 10 Kiowa blackberries from a nursery in Georgia, and found your channel. Today I'm putting in the T post-and-wire trellis.
Growing up in McCalla, I could listen to you talk about this for hours
Thank you very much. I learned a lot about pruning from you. Keep up the great videos.
grew these and they were outstanding, thank you Dr. Powell !
So glad you are doing more videos, hope you continue to grace us with your knowledge.
Am i the only viewer drooling as the branches with fruit get cut and dropped to the ground? Very informative video! I'm just in my second year with my vines and I live in central Florida. Thanks for the info!
Thank you for your teaching videos. I am older and just beginning the journey of gardening. ❤
I have blackberries that have produced their first year of fruit, I didn’t know how to prune them for next year but thanks to you I have a much better idea of how to grow them.
I bought 3 Kiowa blackberries from you this year. This is SO helpful. Please more videos on fruits!
Very informative and clear. And I love the background music! Subscribed!
Thank you for a very informative video.
What a fantastic lesson video. So much goid info. Also this guy sounds SO MUCH like the general from the military school on the Simpsons.
Oh wow interesting I’ve just been letting mine grow as long as they want ! I didn’t know you cut them off to branch out …thank you❤
Thank you for this! I have 1 year old blackberries and most the videos seem to cover older plants. Your video really helped me to figure out what to do with my canes that aren’t that big yet. Excellent video!
Your years of experience will help me start off strong. Thank you so much. Starting to grow this year. This will be very helpful.
We have thornless blackberry plants and I love them!!! 😀😋
Lovely background. Peace be with you. 😎 Nice to meet you.
Big 👍
Excellent video! Lots of great examples on pruning and trellising
You are an amazing teacher ❤ Thank you!
I'll be trying this summer pruning. Looks a lot less messy than trying to cut out hardened spent stems and untangling the new stuff without breaking it. Thanks for posting.
And all the plants energy goes into the new canes instead of wasting some on that stuff that’s slowly dying. You’ll get bigger plants.
Great lesson and good speaking and teaching style. Thank you!
Thanks Doc! Your the best. Everything you explain is spot on! My berries are perfect five years we are up to 500 pints in the month of July. Thanks again for your information!
Excellent tutorial. I am going out to the yard tomorrow with some pruners!
Thank you so much for all this information!
Love this place! Beautiful and friendly
Very good (apart from the music) but with the problems of plastics these days, wouldn’t it be better to use string?
I want to say thank you very much i have start fruits farm in this year and have blackberry too. Have and idea to pruning❤
Wonderful! Clear simple and concise!! What could be better?
Thank you for such wonderful knowledge on your berries.
Wow! Thank you for this wonderful video.
Thank you. Going out now!
❤ thank you!
I'm 10 min north of cullman and got 10 triple crowns delivered today. Hope they do good.
Thank you for the very educational video Dr. Powell. I’ve just received my 5 plants and this will help me tremendously. I appreciate your attention to detail. So many other videos have provided guidance (not sure they have it totally correct) however not like this. Thank you!!!
1 pareces actor pero eres mucho mejor porque muestras realidad un gusto de verte. Te entiendo perfecto 2 esas son felco 6 muy buenas yo las uso en poda de uva de mesa.
3 tu huerto es hermoso puedo distinguir cada planta, no es una maraña q no se distingue nada 😅
4 por tu enseñanza estas invitado a un cordero acá en Chile 😊
I learned so much. Thank you. Very well explained and very well filmed
I always wondered why Michael Jackson only wore one glove. I have been picking wild blackberries in Texas since I was 5 years old. It is interesting to see various methods of doing it professionally.
After I harvest by late June, I cut the down to the ground and there is enough time grow enough that I get about 20lbs each year
You answered all my questions.
Awesome video!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
I love the background music. It was a perfect balance with the video. So informative. I learned loads and came away encouraged! How do you keep the birds off of your berries?
Blessings to you!
Denae
Thank you!! ❤
Very nice presentation. Thank You.
Excellent video! I learned a lot. Thank you.
I bring my beloved garden cart with me when I prune. I put the cut canes right into my cart and then I’m able to carry them out to dispose properly. I also use jute twine to secure the canes. I can just cut them off and let them decompose where they fall.
Best tutorial ive seen...seeing all the things ive been doing wrong😂
Thank you for new videos - such a treasure 👍
George Morgan owned 15 Acres down in Florida and just as the winter started it would flood. It would take a week and it would drain off and dry out. I would then take a lawn mower and go through and mow down all the old canes.
Thank you for the video. Very helpful.
Great information! Didn't need the music.
The music is great 👍 and great video
This looks so much neater than just letting them grow in a tangled mess! What fertilizer is best for Blackberries and what is the insecticide you mentioned? Can you post links to where they're sold?
He didn't say 'issues" the whole time. ❤❤❤
Excellent information!
❤️ this vid. Thank you. I had a "prolific blackberry" and it was! It grew 15 other bushes and its canes sere 20 ft long (from each bush!) The music isnt necessary in this vid, it detracts from it.
I like the music personally. 🎶
Thanks for sharing Sir.🙏🙏
I'd like doing it in the winter, I use the lawn mower before anything else started to grow out
My mouth started to water when he showed that huge berry off.
I use compostable string (hemp, sisal or cotton) instead of the plastic band, to avoid having plastic all over my garden.
Thank you so much.
I had a good chuckle listenin to this man explain his tried and true process that I'll mimic and everything was "simply do this. Then this simple that"
Great video!👍🏻
Great video! Thank you!😊
Great video, Thank you.
thank you for the video! i learned a lot. i have just been letting mine grow on its own at the very back of the yard. i have thornless blackberries. i don't know if they are primocane so i don't know if i take off the old.
I eat as I'm pruning 😂 can't waste those delicious berries 😂
Thank you. Very helpful
Great video, thank you
Would this system work well for thornless floricane varieties like Ouachita? I'm in Zone 7, and I planted a small number of Ouachita blackberries in March 2023. I've trellised them similarly to how you have here. They are still producing fruit like crazy, and next year's canes are growing all over the place, and I'm worried about being able to manage them-especially since it looks like there is another two weeks worth of fruit left to ripen. Thanks for an in-depth, easy to follow video.
