1 I - Trellis Trellising Systems for Caneberries: Options & Economics David W. Lockwood Univ. of TN Miguel Ahumada Sun Belle T- Trellis Rotating Crossarm Trellis

3 Caneberry Fruiting Floricane-bearing 1 st year: Vegetative growth of cane 2 nd year: Flowering & fruiting Cane death (most varieties of blackberries, black & purple raspberries, some red & yellow raspberries) Primocane-bearing 1 st year: Bear fruit in upper ⅓ to ½ of cane in late summer & fall Fruiting portion of cane dies in fall 2 nd year: Lower portion of cane fruits Entire cane dies after fruiting

6 Functions of the Trellis The trellis is a long-term investment. It should be built to last the life of the vineyard Support the vine and the crop Expose fruit and foliage to sunlight Open canopy to air movement and spray penetration Facilitate ease of vineyard operations Pruning, thinning, pest control, harvest *for trailing & semi-erect cultivars, trellising is necessary to keep the fruit off the ground
7 Factors influencing training system & trellis design to be used in the vineyard Type of Caneberry Vine spacing (inrow & between row) Row orientation Soil fertility Management capabilities Available labor (both the amount & capabilities) Establishment costs Equipment requirement Mechanization?
8 Trailing Blackberry Primocanes allowed to grow on the ground during summer Trained to the trellis in the fall in milder regions or Left on the ground over winter & trained to the trellis in spring 2-Wire Trellis
9 Erect Varieties, No Trellis Tip primocanes low (3 to 4 ft.)
10 Erect & Semi-Erect Blackberries Primocanes 5 to 5 ½ ft. need support
11 1 st year Semi-erect varieties appear to be trailing during first years Pomper et al. 2 nd year
12 Single wire trellis
13 Supported Hedgerow Trellis 3 4 ft. 1½ - 2 ft. Kathy Demchak
14 I-Trellis Advantages: Least expensive Easiest to train labor to use Disadvantages: Intermingling of primocanes & floricanes Shading reduces yield & quality, increases pest pressure Harvest & removal of spent floricanes more difficult
15 4 6 ft. V Trellis 6 ft. 3 ft. Kathy Demchak
16 T or Lincoln Trellis 6 ft. 3 4 ft. 6 ft. Kathy Demchak
17 T ( Y or V ) Trellis Advantages: Separation of floricanes & primocanes Better light, air & spray penetration Easier harvest & pruning Disadvantages: More costly to build & maintain Needs more skilled labor
18 RCA (Rotating Crossarm Arm) Trellis Winter: Rotate to ground, cover canes with mulch or snow During flowering: Position trellis horizontally, all fruiting laterals grow up toward sun When fruit is set & starts to grow, move to 1 o clock position so all fruit is on 1 side & not fully exposed to the sun Trellis Growing Systems
19 Rotating Crossarm Trellis Advantages: Winter protection of canes with snow, mulch or row covers Separation of primocanes & floricanes Disadvantages: High cost Labor (skill & amount)
20 Rotating Crossarm Trellis
21 Rotating Crossarm Trellis
22 Gina Fernandez Shift Trellis
23 Cane Development Fewer canes results in lower yields and higher quality fruit Increasing cane numbers results in diminishing quality and yields Yields respond positively to increasing light availability, particularly lower in the canopy Shortening canes increases fruit size and lowers yields Spreading the canopy enhances light availability and increases fruit yields per length of row, but requires more space Pritts, 2000
24 Trellis Tips Row Orientation: North/South gives better light exposure within the canopy Trellis height: Higher trellis gives better air circulation around canopy Less disease pressure Ease of management Divided canopy ( T, V & Y trellises) vs. Single Curtain Separation of primocanes & floricanes gives better light, air & spray penetration, ease of management
25 Tip Primocanes Remove Floricanes Annual Pruning Sequence for floricane-bearing caneberries Lateral Branching Summer Winter Floricanes bloom, Fruit & die Head Laterals. Remove laterals on lower of canes. Remove excess Canes, thin rows
26 Primocane Fruiting Blackberries Initiate flower buds on terminal 1/3 to 1/2 of the primocane during 1st summer & fruit that fall Lower 1/2 to 2/3 portion of cane overwinters & produces a summer crop the 2nd year (also called everbearing or fall-fruiting) often grown for fall crop only
27 Primocane Crop Only Primocane Harvest Allow Primocanes to grow. Maintain row width in. Mow planting to ground in late winter
28 Advantages of Single Cropping System - Raspberry Cane thinning & detailed pruning & tying eliminated Cold injury of buds eliminate Winter damage from rabbits or voles eliminated Spur blight, anthracnose, cane blight & some other diseases & insects reduced Application of fertilizers, herbicides easier Can delay fruiting by mowing primocanes when ~ 1 ft. high
29 Trellising Primocane-Bearing Caneberries If growing for both the fall crop & the following summer crop, use trellises similar to those outlined previously (single wire, supported hedgerow) If growing for the fall crop only, use the supported hedgerow trellis with: Twine instead of wire Removable posts (this will allow the planting to be mowed off in winter)

37 Summary of Trellising Effects Lower density increases marketable fruit Higher density reduced marketable fruit Open canopy increases light availability More light in lower canopy increases yield Shorter canes increase fruit size, lower yield Pritts, 2000
38 Where does most photosynthesis happen? Height from ground (in) Leaf Fluorescence (Fu/Fm) CO2 Assimilation (umol/m2/s) Stomata conductance (mmol/m2/s) a a b P-value < Carbon Dioxide Enrichment May Increase Yield of Field-grown Red Raspberry under High Tunnels. Mochizuki et al 2010
