My blackberries probegate that way a long branch hits the ground and the piece in the ground roots... that is great make sure the one that rooted is secure in the ground if not.. add dirt around it and then simply cut the stem it came from ... strawberries do it the same way.... since the canes don't live but 2 years this is a way to prolong the live... but usually around the 1st cane others shoot up and the older one dies off ... cutting to the old dead ones helps... my cats love it in my bush but this year i had to get in there and cut some of it back to encourage growth and more fruit.. last year i had an enormous amount of green but little fruit because i did not prune last Sring. Happy gardening ... let me know how your are now?
