Features of growing raspberry raspberry

Repaired raspberry varieties are undemanding in care, but in order to get a rich harvest of delicious, fragrant berries, you should observe the agrotechnics. The fact is that if you wrongly plant and take care of raspberries, then you will not get a good return from it and the berries will grow insipid. Therefore, you should take seriously the choice of location, planting and care.

First you need to buy a healthy seedling. When buying carefully inspect it and make sure that the root system is whole and not parched. Pay attention to the basal buds. They too should have a healthy appearance. Ideally, if the kidney on the seedling is 5-6.

We choose a place for planting. To the planting conditions, the repair raspberry is particularly demanding, so it should be taken into consideration carefully.

It is better if the planting is carried out in the autumn period, but if this is not possible, the planted seedlings will also take root in the spring. Planted plants in the spring, in the end of summer will give you a small crop.

Unlike ordinary raspberries, the repair raspberry is planted by the bush method and special landing pits are prepared for it.

For planting it is better to choose solar areas without drafts.The soil must be loose and fertile. Wetlands for raspberry planting will not work.

Dig a pit deep and 30-35 cm wide. Add fertilizer in advance. Mix 5 kg of humus with soil, 2 tablespoons of superphosphate and 1 kg of wood ash or chalk.

Before planting, the seedling should be shortened to healthy kidneys. After examining the roots, remove the dried and rotten ones. Lower the roots into the clay chatterbox, and proceed to planting.

In the pit, make a mound, and put a seedling on it. Roots spread around the mound and fill the fertile soil. Gently press down the ground around the stump, if necessary add some land. Leave the pit unfilled for 5 cm to make it easier to water. After planting, well pour. This should be done in two steps, so that the soil is soaked with water.

In the early spring, after the snow comes down, urea should be introduced. 40 grams are applied per square meter. After the raspberries have been fertilized for the first time, reapply the urea. In the autumn, add superphosphate.

If the summer is arid, then watering is mandatory.It should be moderate, but with a strait of soil in sufficient quantity. After watering, cover the soil. This will reduce the number of propolis and irrigation.

In the autumn, before freezing, spend abundant watering to increase the moisture reserves for the winter period under the bushes.

Before the onset of frosts, cut off the aerial part of the plants.In the first year, hemp leaves 20-40 cm. In the second year, raspberries are cut at the root. After trimming, hemp should remain. In winter they will be covered with snow. In Siberian growing conditions, it is more appropriate to cut raspberries in spring. As pruning provokes the growth of the kidneys, which can freeze in winter in Siberia.

Reproduction

Repaired raspberries can be multiplied with a few simple tricks:

1. In the center of an adult bush, which is not less than 2-3 years, an insignificant part of the shoots is removed. Otrastut scions, which will serve as an excellent planting material.
2. Green cuttings.The selected cuttings (they must be healthy and grow at shallow depths near the bush) are cut from the mother's bush and taken out with the soil.

Place the cutting site with any disinfectant and plant the stalk into a damp, light earth.

After 2 weeks they should give roots. Transplant to a permanent place, not earlier than a month after rooting.

Repaired raspberry gives an excellent harvest of delicious berries. Varieties "Atlant" and "Apricot" are some of the best representatives of raspberries remontant. The first and second - yielding and unpretentious varieties. With proper care, you can achieve excellent results.
