HOW TO GROW “OTHER BRAMBLES” 
Culture of Purple and Black Raspberries are very similar due to the 

similarity of growth habits. 
To produce large crops on easy to pick bushes, the new growth should 
have the ends pinched off when it reaches a height of 24 to 30 inches. 
This will usually be about berry picking time and may extend until the 
season is over. The new canes then branch. 
In the spring, these branched canes should have the branches pruned 
back to a length of 8 to 12 inches, depending on the number of branches 
on the cane and the vigor of the cane. Leaving them all on will decrease 
the size of the fruit. Old canes should be removed as soon as they are 
through fruitin 
Rows are best spaced 4% to 5 feet apart or even more with the plants 
3 to 4 feet « rt in the rows. Plants may or may not be supported. A 
spraying program to control anihracnose should be followed for all Black 
and Purp] Ras} rries. 
Blackberries are planted, pruned and otherwise cared for in much the 
same manner as |] Raspberries. Both Blackberries and Black and 
Purple Raspberries need laying down and covering with earth for winter 
protection in | more 1 herly zones as indicated in the descriptions of 
varieties.
