Caning The Raspberries

The raspberries did not last very long this year with the hot temperatures. The spent canes need to be removed from the bushes so the new growth enough room to remain vigorous.
The canes that remain are trellised back up so they can continue to grow. Many of the canes that are left are showing signs of that there will be fall berries, so removing the old canes had to be done carefully so it didn’t disturb the newly developing fruit.
The old canes are not discarded. They are cut into sections and will be used on the hill when we are replanting the logged sections.
