Pruning Rasberries Guided by Bud Swell and Weather
A. E. Cott of Iowa State College advises pruning raspberries as buds swell in spring, typically March or early April, with specific steps for red, black, and purple varieties. Remove last year’s canes first, trim black and purple to 15 to 18 inches, thin weak canes, and space red canes 6 to 8 inches apart while keeping rows 2 feet wide. Mulching between rows with manure or straw and using ground corn cobs as mulch can improve vigor and weed control.
