My raspberry plants need trimming this spring. can I just cut them all off now? It is early spring here in wisconsin. I heard that was a good idea but I also heard I should just trim out the old shoots.

They are easy to do. Go out and look at them real close. You should see really brown canes and canes that are "brownish-greenish". The really brown canes are the canes that fruited last year, they will not fruit anymore so cut them off at the ground. The "brownish-greenish" canes were last year's new growth. These are the ones that will fruit this year. If they are really tall you can cut them down to your liking but you will lower your berry yield.
thanks stogeyman. I do not know much about raspberry's but I know more now.
How about fertilizer? I have some 12-12-12 would that be ok?
