When should a person prune wild raspberry plants? It is the 2nd year?

Pruning after blooming is the general rule of green thumb, so after you harvest the berries, prune the canes that just bore the berries down to the ground. This will give the new canes a chance to take over for next year's crop. Enjoy those raspberries!
