PLANTING AND CARE 
Set the plant with growing point of shoot 
up, taking pains not to break or damage the 
shoot since this retards the plant’s develop- 
ment. If growth has not started, cover the 
point with about an inch of soil. 
Plants are set out 8 to 10 feet apart in 
rows 6 to 8 feet wide depending on type of 
cultivator. Because plants spread out and 
require considerable moisture, crowding is 
to be avoided; unless, as in a small garden, 
plants can be assured of ample moisture and 
fertility. 
KAYBERRY plants grow very much like 
other trailing berries, particularly the Lo- 
gan. They produce the second summer and 
comesminto siull. production, the third. If 
blossoms appear on canes the first summer, 
they should be picked off as the plant needs 
all its strength for cane and root develop- 
ment. Be careful in cultivating and in 
handling the new canes, not to break the 
tip as this stimulates the sprouting of suck- 
ers along the cane. 
Canes may be trained on wire trellises or 
may be wound up and over a Six foot stake. 
The trellis method results in more produc- 
tion per plant; but the stake method is 
easier and less expensive to establish and 
allows for cross cultivation. 
For general cultural practices, use the 
same methods that are most successful in 
your vicinity in the raising of Logan and 
Boysen berries. Contact your county Agri- 
culture Extension Agent for detailed infor- 
mation.
