Do I have to prune them at all

I prune mine as it can get very large and leggy. Prune the top by 1/3 if it is tall, and the side shoots to keep it from spreading.I pick the fruit as it ripens and either freeze or partially cook, then adding more as they ripens till I get enough to make jam or chutney.
