4. Prepare Berry Patches for Winter

Berries tend to be hardy, but may require some fall pruning and care:

  • In early to mid-fall:

    • Prune summer-bearing raspberries, leaving six of the most vigorous brown canes for every 1 foot of your patch.

    • Prune fall-bearing raspberries ruthlessly, cutting them to the ground after they have borne fruit. New canes will come up in the spring and bear fruit.

  • Plant blackberries in the fall and mound the soil around the canes to prevent hard frosts from heaving them out of the ground.

  • Many blueberry varieties are hardy, but they will appreciate a thin layer of mulch around their base for added protection.

  • Cover strawberry beds with a layer of straw mulch.
