there is one draw back of this instructional guide. they didn't show how the result it when the spring come and when it started to fruit.. that's is a really draw back.. the idea seems to be logical.. but how the actual result is.. sometime is not that good.. if they add in the second year fruiting and leave out condition.. it will be supreme instructional guide. i agree.. still, i am hoping they will include spring and summer video of this row of v-shape raspberry cane. andrew
9 years later and still this is the most informational, well demonstrated, and thorough videos on raspberries. I'm new to the bushes as I just bought a house and they were already in the process of fruiting so I had no idea how to prepare for the following year!
10 best video I've seen all year. I was like when's he going to stop pulling out cane fasteners? Then out of nowhere he just has this crazy machine nobody's ever seen before. Oh but that's not all, here's some biodegradable string in his back pocket
I re-watch this video before I prune every year! It is clear and concise, the perfect review of information. My yields have been consistently good in central Vermont! Thank you!
This is the best video I've seen on raspberry pruning, so informative and so helpful. Definitely pruned to his advice, along with the staking/tying technique and am grateful for the newly gleamed gems of knowledge here!
this is an excellent video that makes the steps in pruning raspberries simple to follow with clear explanations of why you do certain things; thanks Maine Cooperative Extension!
Growing up we used to just let the raspberries grow. Never pruned. Never trellised. Nothing. I keep bees at a farm that does what you do. Now I understand why. I'm trying to learn to prune and care for fruit trees before I actually start the fruit production. Very impressive presentation
The best time to transplant raspberries is in early spring while the canes are still dormant. Simply dig out healthy one year old canes, preferably from along the row edge, where you don't want them anyway, shake off most of the soil, trim back the roots to about 12' in length and trim the top of the cane back to about 24" from the base. Transplant them to the new location as soon as possible. If you need to keep them for a while, store them at about 32 degrees until planting.
@annwelch75 They are called t-posts; you can get them from most hardware stores that sell fencing supplies. You can also look on-line for grape trellis supplies and posts like this should be available. The cross arm is just drilled angle iron, you can find similar materials as sheet rock corners or in shelving supplies..
Thank you for sharing! This has increased my raspberry crop 10 fold or better. I can't wait, just hope I will be home when they are ready on not on the road again.
By far the best video I've watched so far. Very informative, yet the average Joe can follow along. I'll be reviewing this one this winter when it's time to trim back my raspberry plant that I planted this spring. Thank you!!
Awesome video. I used to trom them 6 inches from the ground. I would get some good fruits. I know you really have to watch raspberries. They love to take over a garden
You kind Sir are a teacher...Just planted raspberries...I have blueberries and my raspberries already produced a handful of berries the first time...Thank you...Thank you...Excited!!!
Great video. About the trellises, I see that you used t-posts and basically made the shape of an A inverted. How are they stuck in the ground? Is there a piece going into the ground from the point or are they all under tension with wire and stakes at the end of the row? Thanks for your help!!
That was awesome! I don't know the first thing about raspberries and i started Boyne last spring. I tried reading up but it just wasn't clicking for me. This was so helpful i feel so much more confident. Thank you for telling the time to make this available. I'm totally excited to get cracking.
What a wonderful video! You've answered all of my questions and offered options and choices that (imho) make this a perfect video! Thank you very much!
Thank you soooo much for this great and comprehensive video. I'm new to raspberry growing, got a good crop last year but didn't know how to prune or to set up my trellis. This answered all my questions. Heading out to prune now!
Thank you!!! We have a profusion of wild blackberries and raspberries. More than once I've been caught in the tangle trying to pick them as-is. I've wondered how to tend to them properly for years. This info is *GOLD*!!
Thank you- great info! For first time in ten years I had time last fall and I pruned. This year, I had about ten berries on a 30 ft row. Now I know why! Next year will be better I’m sure.
Very good.I didn't watch to end due to lack of time but just to point out some of us have 2 kinds of canes - I have some you have to prune all the canes of - summer fruiting ones - cut back the old wood not the new and the much easier Autumn fruiting ones where you cut it all back. I will certainly wait until February after this rather than cutting back in December. Thanks.
Thank you! So helpful and clear. I also like how the different methods of tying the canes to the wire are described, mentioning the undesirability of creating lots of bits of plastic to deal with- Im' all for using the biodegradable products in the garden- plastic, no thanks.
Thank you so much for this video! It really helped me to understand exactly what I have to do! If this rain ever lets up, I’ll be able to get my trellis in “pretty good” shape!
Excellent presentation. The planting and growing raspberries videos are excellent as well. This is a very nice, informative set of videos. Thank you for sharing.
Terrific video. Unlike the professor's at Cornell; this video is made for ordinary folks, no fancy Latin words. A perfect job, and thanks. We are in Sequim, WA and raspberries do well here.
Thank you for the great video. Much appreciated. The Tommy Jarvis outfit was a nice little tip of the hat. Makes me think Tommy made it to enjoy his retirement :)
As much as I despise social media, including RUclips, this video is an example of why I continue to use RUclips. Invaluable information here and nicely explained. Thank you
The healthy canes which were growing outside of the 1.5-2’ wide row can be rooted to grow plants in a new location: simply remove as instructed in the video, then stick the thicker/bottom end of the cane in the soil and walk away. If you’re lucky, the cane will root, and you’ll have even more plants to harvest. You can also share the canes with other gardeners. 😊

What a great video. No noise. No ads. Straight talk about one subject.
That is one of the best comprehensive, systematic and to the point You Tube gardening videos that I have seen! Thanks so much!
Really! I was amazed at how comprehensive, and to the point it was! Bravo extension!
there is one draw back of this instructional guide. they didn't show how the result it when the spring come and when it started to fruit.. that's is a really draw back..
the idea seems to be logical.. but how the actual result is.. sometime is not that good..
if they add in the second year fruiting and leave out condition.. it will be supreme instructional guide. i agree..
still, i am hoping they will include spring and summer video of this row of v-shape raspberry cane.

I agree! I said the same thing just before I read these comments. Very helpful, thank you!
9 years later and still this is the most informational, well demonstrated, and thorough videos on raspberries. I'm new to the bushes as I just bought a house and they were already in the process of fruiting so I had no idea how to prepare for the following year!
So appreciative to see knowledgeable, unpretentious plain speaking people spreading great tips for amateur gardeners like me. Thank you!
this was the best presentation i ever saw for pruning raspberry's

Why have I spent so much time watching OTHER videos. Everything I need is right here. Thank you!
This is the best video that I have seen, teaching how to prune summer raspberries. Excellent.
Concise step-by-step instruction with the "why" explained and demonstrated. This raspberry-lovin' potential green thumb thanks you!
This is the best video I've seen on raspberry pruning, so informative and so helpful. Definitely pruned to his advice, along with the staking/tying technique and am grateful for the newly gleamed gems of knowledge here!
What a great video!!!! Thank you! This clarified more for me than all the online research I've done for the last 3 years. Perfect.
I TOTALLY agree!! Finally an informative and succinct explanation!
great video, very helpful....could you tell me where to get the metal trellis material that you are using for your raspberries?
The best video that I have seen on pruning raspberries

That's the best looking raspberry bush I've ever seen in my life.
Thank you for sharing! This has increased my raspberry crop 10 fold or better. I can't wait, just hope I will be home when they are ready on not on the road again.
This guy is weirdly soothing to watch. I don't even need to prune any raspberries and I still watched the whole thing.
This truly is the best, short, straight to the point video. Thanks a bunch !!
By far the best video I've watched so far. Very informative, yet the average Joe can follow along. I'll be reviewing this one this winter when it's time to trim back my raspberry plant that I planted this spring. Thank you!!

Please make a video about how you did the staking.
Wow...I don't think anyone in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada does it up like this! Very impressive. Thanks for the pointers.
You kind Sir are a teacher...Just planted raspberries...I have blueberries and my raspberries already produced a handful of berries the first time...Thank you...Thank you...Excited!!!
So simply explained and exact that it is without a doubt the best raspberry pruning video out there.
Super informative and to the point. I wish all gardening videos were done so well. Thanks!
After watching countless videos on pruning raspberries the process is clear to me. Thank you! Here's to raspberry pie this year
Great video. About the trellises, I see that you used t-posts and basically made the shape of an A inverted. How are they stuck in the ground? Is there a piece going into the ground from the point or are they all under tension with wire and stakes at the end of the row? Thanks for your help!!
Splendid video that gave me as a beginner exactly what I needed to know. Thanks Mr Handley and Maine Coop Extension!
Thanks, I re-watch this video every single year!
I also agree. Very specific, clarifies ways of identifying what others only talk about. Clear pictures.
thanks
Grateful for Extension and Land Grant Universities. This is an excellent resource!
That was awesome! I don't know the first thing about raspberries and i started Boyne last spring. I tried reading up but it just wasn't clicking for me. This was so helpful i feel so much more confident. Thank you for telling the time to make this available. I'm totally excited to get cracking.
This is so clear and easy! I’ve watched many videos and followed them. They were too hard to follow - ending up with poor yield. Thanks for this!!
Best pruning video I've found. Thanks!

The healthy canes which were growing outside of the 1.5-2’ wide row can be rooted to grow plants in a new location: simply remove as instructed in the video, then stick the thicker/bottom end of the cane in the soil and walk away. If you’re lucky, the cane will root, and you’ll have even more plants to harvest.
You can also share the canes with other gardeners. 😊
Thank you! This was a really helpful video!
Nice one Dave!
