This is important where high winds are a problem. Attach a No. 9 wire to the ends of the cross-arm along each side of the row. Train the canes between the wires or tie the canes to the wires. A trellis of two wires, one above the other on the same post, is also used. The canes can then be tied to the wires.
New shoots grow from buds at the crown each year.
Late in the summer, the new canes develop lateral branches with fruit buds on them. Early in the second season, fruit-bearing shoots grow from these buds. After fruiting, the old canes die, and new shoots spring up from the crowns. These fruiting canes may be removed any time after harvest. They should be cut off close to the base of the plant, removed from the planting, and destroyed.
