[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 538654, member: 3162"] Earl, I need to learn you something about berries. Look at the vines that bear fruit this year. They will die period. Their life is over. Look at the little vines that are growing out of the ground like crazy with no fruit. Those will bear fruit next year, then die. The life of a berry vine is two years; one year of growth and one year of leaving out, blooming, bearing fruit and dying it (which is actually about a year and a half). Hence, the new dewberry vines on the ground should be trained through your trellis. They'll bear fruit next year. After they bear fruit, cut them out and start training the new vines growing under foot then. You'll get fruit every year after the 2nd year of establishing berries. The folks who brush hog the berry vines and don't get any fruit never learn this. Earl, I am serious. This is an edit. My maternal grandfather had an orchard and grew them along with many other varieties including boysenberries which work the same way. Check it out. [/QUOTE]
