Features of Planting and Growing

For landing berryless blackberries need lighted and well warmed up in the sun. These bushes are best grown in areas protected from the winds. For a favorable cultivation of berries requires the soil of fertile varieties and soil moisture.

Care should be taken that the roots of the plant are not frozen. Excess moisture has a negative effect on the development of the shrub, and reduces the quality and volume of the crop. The content of limestone in the soil leads to leaf disease.

Before planting, the root system of seedlings is shortened slightly. The rather long root processes are pruned and the damaged and damaged parts are removed. The landing recess usually reaches fifty centimeters in depth. A mixture of humus and compost is added to the hole. Wood ash is sprinkled on top, and lime is mixed into the soil with high acidity.

A growing straight plant is placed in a row through one meter with an interrow distance of up to two meters, and the varieties spreading on the ground are separated between each other with a gap of up to four meters and a row spacing of about three meters. Carefully placed and well sprinkled in the pits seedlings watered. For convenient moistening of the soil around each bush a hole is created. On top of the soil sprinkled with straw or sawdust.

Regular feeding of bushes leads to a rich harvest. Every year in spring, the land around the plant is fertilized with humus and ammonium nitrate. In the summer it is good to bring in soil, diluted bird droppings or manure. In autumn, the soil is enriched with superphosphate and wood ash.

Growing a studless blackberry is not difficult. You must properly care for the bushes and monitor the condition of the plant. In the creation of suitable conditions for the growth of shrubs it is necessary: ​​

• regular saturation of the soil with moisture;
• removal of young shoots;
• thinning overgrown bushes;
• setting support for garter shoots;
• shrub formation;
• loosening the soil and removing weeds.

Preparation and care of bushes in winter

Before the cold shoots that have borne fruit for two years, are removed. Extra new branches are removed. To avoid excessive stretching of the bushes in height, pinch the upper parts of the stems. This action will allow the processes on the sides to develop and gain strength. Old stalks are pruned at the root, so that pests will settle on them.

To avoid the spread of parasites, cut branches should be burned with garbage. After processing, sawdust or peat is poured under the bushes, which provides the plant with moisture and protects the root system from freezing. All kinds of blackberries, including cold-resistant ones, need shelter for the winter. Sometimes the soil near the bushes is covered with roofing felt, corn leaves or hay.

Blackberry Breeding Methods

Breeding blackberry blackberries is done in several ways:

1. Seed growing is a simple way of sowing seeds in the ground. Such a process requires irrigation and fertilization. Cultivation through seeds does not save varietal characteristics of the culture.
2. Reproduction by rooted tops or green cuttings is a procedure for plucking shoots with seals at the ends. This method is performed by sprinkling earth with shoots until they are fully rooted. Subsequently, the sprout ready for independent life is separated from the adult bush.
3. Breeding green summer or autumn shoots, that are already stiff. This method can also be performed by cuttings with formed roots in greenhouses. To do this, you need to place the roots in the ground horizontally by not returning for at least a year. Landing is performed at a depth of about ten centimeters.
4. Blackberry removal with the help of shoots begins in July. For this, it is necessary to spread out long branches around the shrub, without separating them from the parent plant. With a sharp blade on the shoots made several cuts. All sprouts sprinkled with soil at a depth of ten centimeters, leaving the top with leaves. Under the buds, roots grow in the hollows, and young shoots form from above. In the fall, the sprouts are separated and transplanted to a specific place.
5. Reproduction by air layering is done by winding cellophane over grafted areas. The earth is poured into the entwined material, and the whole structure in the form of a sleeve is tied across. Moisture is pumped through a syringe. Through the film, you can see the stages of development of root processes. In a month, cuttings with roots can be separated and transplanted.
