These raspberries will produce two crops yearly if thinned by removing the canes immediately after fruiting. I only get one crop, since I cut the canes to ground level in the late fall, just before freeze up. This is quicker than selecting the dead canes in a crowded patch to remove. This patch is amazingly prolific.

I may have to re-think the berry thing after hearing how you cut the canes down. Much easier...I didn't know they would come back 'so hardy'.........darn...and someone offered me some starts earlier this year.

We have fall-bearing raspberries. They are easy to care for. I cut them by hand since they are in a raised bed, but you can mow them also. I do thin ours in the spring. Ours does not need a trellis so that is much easier.
