I mow it every so often. What you are seeing are nicely trimmed weeds. :-) The canes that produce the berries are single stems that will get to about 6 feet tall. I corral them in 2 5'x12' beds using 4 t-posts and heavy gauge fence wire at 2' intervals around the 4 posts. Before they fruit the canes stand up on their own fine but once the tops are full of ripening fruit they would fall over without the support. Rose,

Correct??? The only ones I know are on long, gangly canes, and the roots travel 2 to 3 yards away, and send up new shoots. Rather annoying! Your picture looks better.
