Abstract
Pruning height and nitrogen application affected red raspberry yield independently.
Canes pruned at 1.8 m and 2.1 m produced greater yield than canes pruned at 1.5 m.
Shortest canes produced the largest berries.
Nitrogen at 68 kg/ha caused greater yield than 0 kg/ha.
Number of canes was unaltered by either fertilizer or pruning treatment.
Pruning height and N rate affected cane diameter and bud number, but the differences in cane characteristics had no significant relationship to yield.
