Cane Size & Pruning Information

These are established, 2-year-old canes that bore fruit last year.

The canes were originally over 5 feet tall, but will be pruned to approximately 2–4 inches tall before shipping. This is the intended planting height and encourages buds from the lower cane and roots to develop for future growth and fruit production.

The second listing photo shows the canes before pruning.

Depending on how the plants are managed, they can produce a fall crop and may produce spring and fall crops in following years.
