Training systems for bush fruits

Choosing the appropriate training system is a key factor for the health of the crop and for yield and harvesting efficiency. 

Summer raspberries can be trained both by the hedgerow system and by the pendulum system. 

Unlike summer raspberries, autumn raspberries fruit on current-year canes. The trellis system is the simplest training system. 

The training system depends on the growth characteristics of the culti-var. Horizontally growing cultivars are trained by the horizontal system, 

Blueberries are trained as bushes. Whole fruiting canes should be removed if fruit size is inadequate or planting is too dense.
