Abstract
Abstract Plant density and date of training significantly affected the yield of the ‘Marion’ blackberry spaced at 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 ft. Canes were trained in August, September, October and February, with a single variable in pruning. Four-year averages indicate highly significant increases in yield per acre at the higher plant densities. Highest yields were obtained from August-trained plants followed in order of yield by February, September and October-trained plants. Differences in yields due to pruning treatment were small and not significant. Increased yield from August-trained plants is attributed to stimulation of axillary buds and their subsequent lateral growth on which fruit buds developed.
