TopVeg replied:

Don’t prune any first year stems, they will be the ones which produce tayberries next year.  Next April, examine the new stems to check that they are all getting enough light and that air can circulate round them( reduce disease).  Cut back up to 25% of those which are growing very vigorously, to ensure those that are left get light and free circulation of air.
Great to find another tayberry grower – can’t beat them!

It is important to understand how to prune a young tayberry, so that the canes fruit well next year.
