P.s. I didn’t grow Goji berries as on further reading, not many people seemed to enjoy the taste. Might have a go at Fuchsias this year as their berries are meant to be tasty, but not sure if I can squeeze a plant in and if it will produce enough fruit to earn its space in the garden. More research and thought needed there!

Hi Anna, Pruning can be confusing if you're not sure where to begin and a bit counter-intuitive at times too.I often find new clients complain of (summer) raspberries that have never fruited, as they cut All the canes back in spring and consequently remove the stems which should have fruited that year. The RHS Pruning and Training Book (about £14.00) is a really useful tome, keeping instructions as simple and straightforward as possible and one I use again and again. Had a lovely Christmas and I hope you did too and I'm itching for a non-rainy day to get clearing and mulching a few beds before some bare-rooted plants arrive in January. Thanks for your comments and hope you have a very good growing year in 2013. V.best Naomi

The wineberries look really nice. I noticed that in one of the comments on the linked article someone mentioned growing goji berries, did you grow those this year too? I never really know when to prune anything, I just take my chances so this is a very useful post. Hope you had a good Christmas and best wishes for 2013 : )

Glad to see you got a chance to get out. The rain is incessant here and really starting to annoy me. Loving the neat and tidy wineberry after you’ve tackled it. Have a great Christmas Naomi. Looking forward to seeing you in the New Year

Hi Judy, I’m very envious of your frozen raspberries. I think Japanese Wineberries should freeze equally well and am now writing note to self to be more organised next summer so we can have lovely berries for the festive season next year too. Merry christmas! Naomi
