Pruning raspberries, blackberries, gooseberries, currants and elderberries (2012)

Brambles are biennial plants with two types of canes: primocanes and floricanes. For fall-fruiting raspberries and blackberries, berries are harvested in August or September from 1-year-old canes called primocanes. For summer-fruiting brambles, primocanes are 1-year-old vegetative canes, and 2-year-old canes called floricanes produce the fruit. Canes that produce fruit die after the fruit matures and will need to be pruned. Various brambles are pruned differently, and some need to be tipped during the growing season. This guide describes how to prune brambles to maintain annual cropping.Revised 2/12/2M

Fire blight (2014)

Fire blight is a bacterial disease affecting apple, crabapple, pear, hawthorn, pyracantha (firethorn) and related species. The bacteria commonly overwinter in cankers (sunken diseased areas) on the tree, which produce a sticky exudate in early spring. The bacteria are usually spread from the cankers by insects and by wind-blown rain. Careless pruning practices may also spread the bacteriaNew 4/63; Revised 8/14/500
