Remove Canes Any Time
After Harvest
Canes of bramble fruits are biennial in nature; the crowns are perennial. Each year, new shoots grow from buds at the crown, mature, and set fruit the next year. After fruiting, the old canes die, while new shoots are developing from the crowns.
Old fruiting canes may be removed any time after harvest. They should be cut close to the base of the plant, removed from the plot, and destroyed. Some growers, as a sanitation practice, do this immediately after harvest. Most, however, wait until the dormant pruning in lata winter.
