Fig. 8 (above). A single black raspberry cane before pruning. 

 Without pruning, such canes produce small and seedy berries well 

 out on the lateral branches, where they swing near the ground and 



often get dusty. 

 Fig. 9 (heJow) . The same cane pruned. There is little or no 

 reduction in yield from such pruning, and the berries are much 

 larger and finer than those from canes pruned more lightly. Try it.
