The article notes that lateals from cut back red raspberries are weak and die back in winter. Overbearing reds push a fall crop, so pruning or pinching destroys fruiting wood. After pruning, apply an all purpose fruit spray to new shoots to curb disease for the season and keep weeds in the path under control.

Prune Raspberries Soon After Harvest
County Extension Director Kay Connelly urges pruning raspberries immediately after harvest in Butler County. Horticulturist Ed Cott from Iowa State University cautions that immediate means now not late summer. For black, purple, red and overbearing red varieties, remove old fruiting canes to reduce disease and improve air flow and bud development for next year, and cut or pinch new shoots once they reach 30 to 48 inches, with intervals from early June to mid July.
