Cheyenne produce a firm berry with good flavor that is excellent for jellies, jams and freezing. Allow canes to grow to 18-30" the first year and then prune a few inches to form a low stocky bush which will hold a crop without trellising.
Furnish ample moisture during the growing period and cultivate frequently. After the first fruiting season, prune to the ground to allow room for new canes. Additional pruning should be done each spring to keep plants from becoming tangled and to improve their ability to bear. Successful growing depends on pruning the plant to 5-6 canes, along with training new canes to stand erect.
Planting instructions: May be planted in any well-drained soil. Dig a hole large enough to encompass the roots without bending or circling. Set the plant in place so the crown (part of the plant where the root meets the stem) is level with the soil surface and water thoroughly. Fertilize at planting and again in late spring.
