- Small white flowers
- Perfect for northern gardens
- Great for baking, snacking, and adding to breakfast foods

I am in my 4th year of planting the Boyle Raspberry in 2020 here in 7890 vertical feet in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. This was the first year I had berries and it was a good crop.
My question is about pruning. Should I cut them back to near ground level. I get mix messages on how to prune the plant. Some say thin the weak stalks to the ground, then prune the strong stalks by 1/3.
Others have said cut the stalks to the ground. This was our first year we had the delicious berries so I do not want make a mistake pruning. Thanks, I will wait for your advice!
