Thinning shoots in bagged raspberries

by

We thinned the shoots in the bagged raspberries to 4 to 5 shoots per container. All of the raspberries lived through the winter although one or two may need to be replaced in the future. The work is done for the project funded by the MDA Specialty Crop Block Grant program.
