Pruning/Training

This section was updated - 03 April 2021

Remove floricanes at the crown once they have fruited. Training of new shoots to the wires is best done in the late winter or early spring to avoid winter injury. Head back new canes to the desired length when they are tied to the wires. A plant should produce 10 to 14 healthy canes each year. If laterals are sent out, remove them entirely or cut them back to five or six buds.
