Pruning Pruning is essential to maintaining strong prolific plants and can be done twice a year–after summer fruit production and in early spring. After the summer harvest, cut back to the ground all canes that have produced fruit. In early spring, prune out weak or dead canes and any canes over 5 feet tall. Prune the rest to 4.5 to 5 feet. (For heavier fall production of everbearers, prune back all canes to the ground in early spring only).
