Interpretive Summary: Technical Abstract: Pruning and training of blackberry varies considerably among the three types (trailing, erect, and semi-erect) because of differences in growth and development. Trailing blackberry cultivars are predominantly grown in the Western U.S., parts of Europe, Australasia, and Chile, and are grown for machine-harvested processed markets and for hand-picked fresh markets. Erect and semi-erect cultivars are grown in all blackberry production regions in the world for fresh and processed markets. In this chapter, pruning and training practices for each type of blackberry and trellis design with important differences by production region are addressed. |
