• Produces strong canes in spring and summer, tie them up and wind around and along wires
• Late summer / early autumn remove 10cm of terminal growth – this will initiates production of fruiting spurs
• Tie these canes up to keep off the ground or they will put down roots
• Remove thin/weak and wandering canes
• The following spring these spurs will flower and set fruit for summer
• In autumn remove fruited canes to soil base to encourage air movement and prevent diseases
• Alternatively in cooler dryer areas remove fruited canes in winter.
