  Watching this made me so happy imagining everyone here doing this and their joy at recieving those gifts from the plants presenting themselves to each gardener.  So cool how nature works....i will never lose my appreciation for natures gifts.

  This was very helpful to me! Explains why a previous bed gradually became less productive-- I didn't prune enough out!

  We just moved to a new house, and black raspberries have grown everywhere.  It is a 140 year old farm house.  You can tell where they used to be, and those will stay, and some others will stay.  I just spent a week removing them from where we don't want them.  The removed canes are a resource .  The top of a waddle fence, or dead hedge

  Thank you for sharing a superb video. I have loved black raspberries since I was a child. I was recently blessed with 3 volunteer plants that popped up in my yard which I quickly relocated to a full sun area of my yard. When I transplanted the vines I added fresh worm castings to the planting holes and mulched the plants with some humus-rich compost...Now that you've shown me how to prune the vines, I can't wait to taste the fruits that the Good Lord has provided...Thank you, again!

  Black raspberries are my favorite food ever! I don't have outdoor space of my own so last summer I spent weeks at county and state parks picking them. Berry collecting is legal on public land here in Iowa, and I ended up with over ten pounds! I'm itching to able to get a house with enough space to finally grow my own.

  This is the best video on pruning black raspberries out of close to a dozen I've watched. Thank you. Just wish I'd known this last year.

  Wow great video!  I have a 2 acre spot with black raspberries when I bought it.  Now I’m excited to get my berries pruned!

  Great channel! I'm sure you will soon have 100K+ subscribers. Learned so much from the film and now from your videos. I'd love to see a video about your nursery. Keep the good work guys!

  Another great video! We follow your advice on our farm too. We tip root most of our thinner wispier canes, we also cut off and transplant the runners. We like the reusable clips because it makes removal of the old canes easier. We have two wires and we clip the canes to the wires to make a living espalier fence around our garden outside the inner fence (which we use as a trellis for vining crops). The raspberry fence acts as a deterrent to deer and also acts as a wind break. We live on a ridge line and get too much wind. We harvest bad berries on the way to feed our poultry and collect good berries on the way back to the kitchen (with the eggs). We too have as you say an over abundance of canes so we spend a lot of time thinning the fence. That generates lots of old canes. I plan to try your trick with the canes to see if we can attract more mason bees. Thanks for your insights and tips.
