How to give the plant a place
Scheuten aan draden: Plaats steun vóór planten. Verdeel jonge takken langs de draden. Bind met zachte ruime lussen. Haal afgedragen hout na pluk weg.
Waaier tegen wand: Monteer stevige draden. Leid takken als waaier uit. Houd jonge vervangende scheuten herkenbaar. Pluk langs de vrije voorkant.
Care throughout the season
Remove canes that have fruited after harvest; retain new growth.
Recognise the right time to pick
Pick carefully when the fruit is fully ripe.
Follow your own harvest
Create separate tasks for new and fruited shoots.
Turn your space into a garden for experimenting
A row of bramble fruits becomes more attractive when you distribute the shoots deliberately. Put in a sturdy wire framework first and keep the harvest accessible from the path. Tie in with soft, roomy loops; lay different shoots alongside one another rather than making a thick bundle. This helps you find the fruit and makes removing the right canes later easier.
Distinguish young replacement shoots from wood that has already fruited. With summer raspberries and many bramble fruits, you want to retain new wood for a following harvest. Autumn raspberries need their own approach: do not automatically copy the pruning schedule for a summer cultivar. A photograph before pruning and a label by the plant help you remember what you did.
Choose for the time of eating too. A bowl of soft fruit eaten straight from the plant calls for something different from fruit for jam or a pie. Compare aroma, acidity and how the fruit comes away. A tayberry or loganberry is a different choice from a blackberry with an unusual name. Give these hybrids their own places so you can compare flavour and vigour fairly.

When and how should you prune?
Remove canes that have fruited after harvest; retain new growth.
A young plant needs shaping; an established one needs maintenance and gradual renewal. First consider which branches you want to keep. Use clean, sharp tools and avoid unnecessary large wounds. A pruning check does not mean cutting every time.
My vegetable garden shows a suitable check for confirmed pruning periods. A variety-specific period takes precedence over the general species period. Planned and finished crops receive no pruning task; no European calendar is applied without a confirmed location.
