In this video we explore how to best prune and train blackberries and other trailing hybrid berries such as loganberries so that they produce a bumper crop year on year. It is best to do this from late September onwards after the last crop and should be done before Christmas in zones 7-8. I hope you enjoy and if you have any questions then please do not hesitate to ask!

Hey Huws
my humble suggestion….
you and dad should post a videos at least every week.
I didn't know this could be done and it looks fantastic. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing
Excellent !
What a fantastic video, and for myself excellent timing. Just bought and planted blackberry bushes in my garden this spring and was just two days ago outside wondering what to do with all the growth and how to best train them up the side of the wall. Thank you very much, nice editing, and good easy instructions to follow. Great to also see both of you gents in the same video. A+ Keep em coming!

Great vid guys. Thanks for sharing.
I am looking for a fruit-producing bush or vine that can tolerate no direct sunlight to replace the holly bush that currently covers our unsightly, home gas meter. Any suggestions? I was thinking blackberries.
You got a gorgeous handy assistant over there. Your father is funny! Awesome video! looking forward to more father and son video, it's pleasant to see. thank you!
Pretty neat video actually. Shows how putting in a little thought and effort about what is going to happen in the future will pay dividends! Cheers.
Thanks, very useful!
Hello from North County Rural San Diego (yes, where we have terrible fires and gorgeous weather) Watched your video last year. Followed your recommendations. Got an incredible harvest of boysenberries this year. I have a 6 foot chain link fence. Instead of using ties I'm able to use slightly bent lengths of sticks woven through the chain to attach my canes. It easy, cheap and for the most part they stay put. They snap off easily when I removed the canes. Having several, close horizontal rows, has shielded the berries from heat and hides them from marauding birds. I love your videos.
This is the only video that I have found that shows how to properly trellis blackberries. This was information that I desperately needed. Thank you so much!
Hi from San Francisco 🙂 Hands down the best video I’ve found on caring for loganberries. I have 3rd generation loganberries (from my lovely grandma Eleanor) and have been wanting to care for them properly. Can’t thank you enough for this wonderful tutorial!
my brambles propagate all by themselves lol
Thank you for the video! I like this way of trellis because once it’s time to prune it’s easy to remove! Right now my are interwoven and it’s a pain to keep sticking it everywhere 🙂
Teamwork! Love it:)
And from experience, LEATHER gloves and a woven fabric (not knit fabric) sweater/shirt. Even fine knits (like tee shirts) get caught on thorns more easily
Without a 'handy assistant', holding the tip in position with a releasable cable tie helps, whilst you do the main ties.
Thank you for the information. 🙂
I think if you’re in a very cold climate, it would be better to do this in the spring and leave the canes lying on the ground through the winter to protect them from the cold. Also, maybe cover them with something to proved more protection.
Thank you for showing a realistic picture of dealing with blackberries. I don't think I'm prepared for that right now. Someday, maybe having blackberries will be lovely.
Great video. I just bought my first Loganberry plant yesterday and can't wait to see how it will work out. This will help a lot!
not bad
