New canes that grow in the spring will give only the one, late season crop. ![]() That eliminates the early summer berries. Then they are cut down at ground level, leaving new canes to grow and produce the late crop.Ĭommon advice, for simplicity, is to cut down all the everbearing canes at winter’s end.
