Mark,
If I adhered to what the experts say about pruning blackberries, I wouldn't get much fruit. Back when I pruned to 3', I wondered what would happen if I didn't prune at all. So I tried it. Now I'm standing up while I pick instead of stooping over. Berry size is the same. Consistent yields year after year. So now I'm left wondering how the person who wrote 'the book' got to be an 'expert.' Oh, I know...........................an 'ex' is a has-been and a (s)pert is a drip under pressure.
