    In the fall after harvest, cut plants back to the strongest six or eight canes about 1 foot high, and remove any dead canes. In spring let side branches grow to about two feet long, and then cut them back to ten inches to encourage a strong bloom and abundant harvests in summer and fall. Mature plants (2-3 years in the ground) will produce 2 crops per summer.
