Tayberry advice please!
« on: September 18, 2020, 11:46 »
I planted a new Tayberry earlier this year, so had some limited fruit. I know I have to cut down these old canes and tie up the new ones, however these new canes are growing to quite extreme lengths (over 2 metres long).
Question: Should I and can I prune these canes back a bit as they are starting to take over? If I do will it affect their growth and fruiting for next year?

Thanks....

It's a bit early to do the winter pruning, but shortening the new growth a little shouldn't do any harm, obviously the longer you can leave them the more fruit next year.
They are very vigorous though, aren't they ? especially if you have the thorny kind  ::)

Nice to read that they are vigorous - have just planted 4 at 2m spacings and they look very lonely

Good one, Jezza!

We try and get our rasps to grow like that if we can, the Joan J don't really get tall enough, but some of the earlies can be tied as you suggest!

I had to leave our Tayberry on the old Patch, as there really isn't room here for it here, which is a shame, as a good ripe fruit taken without the white bit is just fantastic!

...on the other hand... :0~
