I have red rasp. growing wild in my yard so I don't tend to them too much. I get plenty just from neglect. I much prefer the black raspberries for taste and do keep them taken care of. #1 is red raspberries thriving on neglect and #2 is picture of trellis. You can also see the side shoots coming off a main stem. If these side shoots get too long i cut them back to about 2 feet. That is where your buds will form and flower and fruit will be.

If you remind me during the summer I will take a photo of them when I prune them. Like I said before you are welcome to stop by and I can show you first hand. Hopefully this was helpful and not too boring. You can't hurt the plant, only loose some fruit. Everbearing plants produce 2 crops, the majority the first year onthe tips in late summer,fall. They then put out a small crop the following year early. You need to know the variety so you don't cut back after first crop and loose the second one. Here is where I buy all my small fruits. http://www.noursefarms.com/Catalog/C...SPBERRIES.aspx
