Usually the blackberry canes don't show signs of budding out until late Feb
or early March, the latter time being when I prune them. This year they're
budding out *now*. Should I prune them now? Would pruning now harm them?
I can't see that it would make their prospects any worse: if there's more
heavy frost the buds will get zapped whether I prune or not, right? Is
their harm in waiting, in that the berries will be fewer and smaller if I
don't prune now?
