Fluffy mentioned growing primocanes only, for fall berries which I 
assume means he mows them after fall but I have found that my stands are 
much more durable if I don't do this.? If I mow the weeds will take over 
and the canes become weak.? The meager summer harvest I get is a 
foragers treat, but not much use for preserves.

My reply:

I have tried removing them in the fall and overwintering and removing them n the early spring.  I prefer the later. 

Btw I prune my down.  I have no idea how you guys mow down Heritage.  The darn things are a minimum of an inch in diameter.  You must use a tough lawnmover.  Now Fall Gold I could have run over.  I can't Imagine doing that to Autumn Britten of Autumn Bliss either.  Both have huge canes in terms of diameter.

One question: has anyone tried WYE Berries?
