Training Bush Fruit 



{Continued from page 4) 

 young canes in place after they have 

 reached that height. Picking is done 

 mostly from one side. Where weaving 

 is done on both upper wires, half of 

 the canes of each hill are trained to 

 one wire and half to the other. This 

 plan gives greater spread between canes 

 on the wires. Picking is done from 

 each side. 



The weaving system is an easy and 

 fast method of training the fruiting 

 canes and when well done it is usually 

 very satisfactory. 



Upright System 



THE upright system requires a simi- 

 lar trellis, but the fruiting canes, 

 in stead of being woven to the wire are 

 left upright and tied with a heavy 

 string. When in fruit, the upper part of 

 the canes will bend down within reach 

 of the pickers. The young canes growing 

 upright are held between the upper 

 wires during the picking season and are 

 not easily injured. 



By this system training can also be 

 done either on one or both upper wires. 



The fruiting canes may be removed 

 from the field and burned just after 

 harvesting or just before training the 

 new canes to the trellis in the spring. 



Some growers, instead of trellising 

 raspberries, prefer to cut off the tops 

 of the fruiting canes at a height of 

 about six feet. The berries produced 

 are larger but not as early. The top- 

 ping is best done just before the leaf 

 growth starts in the spring. 

 Loganberries 



CURL and fan system. Two com- 

 mon methods of training logan- 

 berries are to curl or spread the fruit- 

 ing canes on two or three wires strung 

 one above the other and stapled direct 

 to posts 20 to 25 feet apart. Where two 

 wires are used one is about 32 and the 

 other 54 inches in height. The canes 

 are raised on the wires and curled in a

more or less spiral form in both direc- 

 tions or spread out fan-shape. Where 

 there is considerable wind it is best to 

 tie the canes near the tips to the wires 

 so that there is no chance of loosening. 



The young or new canes are left on 

 the ground and kept under the trellis 

 during the growing season by bending 

 heavy wires in the form of arches or 

 by placing cross sticks every few feet 

 along the row. 



Evergreen system. Another system 

 quite similar to that for training ever- 

 green blackberries is used by some of 

 the best loganberry growers with excel- 

 lent results. 



Evergreen Blackberries 



OVERHEAD system. A good sys- 

 tem for training the evergreen is 

 to place the fruiting canes on a trellis 

 of two wires and cross slats supported 

 by cross pieces nailed to the posts at 

 a height of about four feet from the 

 ground. The wires are usually strung 

 about 20 inches apart. The cross slats 

 are notched to fit the wires and are 

 placed about two feet apart. The canes 

 are usually serpentine fashion over and 

 under alternate slats and are held firm- 

 ly to the trellis. 



During the growing season the new 

 canes are carried to a similar trellis 

 about two feet above the fruiting canes. 

 The cross pieces and slats on the trel- 

 lis need not be quite so long nor the 

 wires so far apart as on the trellis 

 supporting fruiting canes. 



Both trellises are supported by 8- 

 foot posts set between plants 16 or 18 

 feet apart and two feet deep. Nine-foot 

 posts well braced are used for ends. 

 The trellis supporting the fruiting 

 canes is of number 12 wire and number 

 1 4 for the new canes. 



After the fruit is harvested or in 

 early spring before the buds begin to 

 swell the old canes are removed and 

 burned and the new ones dropped to 

 the lower trellis.
