Here are some pics to show you the new growth this year. It will produce next year. The canes with the berries this year are cut to ground in fall or even after the harvest if you wish. The new canes shown are over 7 feet high because of all the rain we had. I will snip them today at about 4 feet high. That will make side branches come out along cane and that is where you get your berries. If I leave the canes so long they will hit the ground and root, which I don't want. I need to cut them at 4 feet and stuff them back into the double wire trellis I have supporting the berries this year. The new canes are smooth and green, pretty hard not to notice which is new and which is old. Hope this helps. P.
