Are these for fall bearing raspberries? So when the floracanes are done fruiting in July, then they're cutback in the fall and the center new growth will be trellised to that space to be the primocanes for the next year?
@Katie The 2nd year Floricanes are initially on the outside of the trellis, since they fruit earlier (in July). Meanwhile the young sprouting Primacanes are growing up the center. After the outer Floricanes are harvested in July, they are removed and the now-larger Primacanes are put on the v-shaped trellis. These Primacanes will fruit in the Fall, sometime between Aug-Oct depending on variety. They are left on the trellis over the winter, are they later become floricanes the following Spring, and the cycle repeats. So you get two harvests per year with this method. I hope that helps.
I love these kind of "tutorials". After 35 seconds I know the reason why I'm supposed to use this method. THANK YOU!
I like your trellis idea better than others I've seen
where can i order the clips used to hold plants to wire
Thanks for sharing the system!
This is a beautiful simplicity. Do you have rough measurements of minimum sticks can be. I want run line across center pole for bird net. Thank you.
Great innovation. May I ask what is the average or min to max distance between the berry plants with the V-trellis?
How many raspberry plants do you have per greenhouse and how large are each greenhouse?
