Grow Tips: Fall-bearing or primocane blackberries respond favorably to tipping! As the primocanes reach 12-15″ in height, break or cut 3/4-1″ off the tip of each cane to force the plant into branching. The second tipping should be performed as the branches reach 30″, again breaking or cutting 3/4-1″ off all the tips. The tips are tender and may be pinched between your thumbnail and a finger or use pruning shears. This process stimulates earlier fruit development, keeps plant height in check for easier management and fruit harvest and also increase yield. – Norse Farms
