How to choose a raspberry seedling
Due to its unpretentiousness, raspberries live in almost every garden plot. But in order to get tasty berries, you must first plant a healthy and strong seedling. In nurseries, shops and private sellers, you can find a huge assortment of seedlings, but how to determine their quality and be sure of the abundance of fruiting already upon purchase?

Growing features

Raspberry shoots of this variety are quite powerful, it is problematic to break them, but it is still better to tie up the bushes: it is easier to care for and collect fruits this way. There are several types of grooming activities that must be followed.

  • Moisturizing. Water this variety abundantly only if the summer is dry.It is important to check the depth of moisture penetration: 40 cm is the norm in this regard. The galaxy is most watered in May, when the fruits are just forming. If the shrub occupies a large area, arrange for drip irrigation.
  • Pruning. A sanitary pruning of the Galaxy is carried out in the spring, before the start of sap flow. The upper branches are pinched, everything frozen, dry, broken is removed. In the fall, it is important to remove everything that has borne fruit, if there are signs of repair, the fruiting top is removed. Although the root shoots do not appear very actively, rationing still needs to be carried out, otherwise the raspberry grows gradually in a chaotic manner. The shoots are checked in the middle of summer.
  • Fertilizer. It is worth feeding at least 3 times per season. In early spring, the plant requires nitrogenous compounds and wood ash. At the end of spring, organic fertilizers must be applied: mullein or dung. In June, take care of potassium-phosphorus fertilization.
  • Preparing for the winter period. The galaxy tolerates frost well, but in the northern regions it should be sheltered for the winter. Severe frosts can severely damage the plant. It is enough to mulch the root system using peat, hay, leaves. The stems are bent to the ground and covered with spruce branches, agrofibre. You can use other types of insulation.

Site selection and soil preparation

Variety Galaktika prefers fertile soil, light, with an acidity not higher than 6.5. The optimal site for planting is flat, not in a lowland, not on a slope or on a hill. Such zones significantly reduce yields. The row spacing during planting should be at least 1.5 m, you can retreat by 2 m.It is better to leave about 70 cm between the bushes, so the bushes will not interfere with each other.

The hole is filled with soil, after laying a layer of drainage. The drainage layer is created from nets, corn stalks, decayed wood. Foliage and tops are laid on it to obtain minerals. Manure with soil and a glass of ash is placed on top. A plant is planted in this mixture and moistened abundantly. The first feeding will be needed in a couple of years, not earlier.

A plentiful and high-quality harvest in the future depends on the correct technology of planting a raspberry bush. It is necessary to choose the right planting material, determine the location and prepare the site.
Raspberry garter is a difficult and painstaking task. This requires time and imagination. But on the other hand, the benefits from this process are enormous. Thanks to the garter, the fruits ripen more intensively and regularly. Bushes are much less deformed, branches do not break off. After the garter, the berries are better preserved, and the greatest achievement at the same time is the convenience of harvesting.
The raspberry pruning process is an essential and essential part of caring for your garden and the key to harvesting large, juicy berries. Without pruning, raspberry shoots lose their strength and cease to bear fruit. It is very easy to avoid thickening of the raspberry tree: you only need pruning - in the spring, summer and autumn months.
One of the conditions for proper care of raspberries is proper watering. The rules for watering raspberries are the same for all varieties and varieties of this garden plant. Moistening should be carried out if the soil has dried out by 5 cm or more.
One of the most important conditions for growing large and sweet raspberries is timely fertilization. For each stage of development of the raspberry bush, different feeding is required. Fertilizers that are used at the beginning of the growing season of the plant are not suitable during flowering and ripening of berries.
Preparing raspberries for winter is another of the stages of berry care. If you start preparing raspberries for wintering in time, then next year you will get a rich harvest of delicious and sweet berries. Winter preparation activities include pruning, feeding, pest control, watering and shelter.

Unfortunately, raspberries, like other plants, do not bypass various diseases and pests. Only by armed with the knowledge and the necessary means for this, you can cope with such troubles. To help the plant, it is very important to be able to recognize the disease in time and begin timely treatment.

Reproduction

There are 2 main methods of propagation of the Galaktika variety: cuttings with aboveground and root material.

  • Cuttings-stems. The material is separated at least 25 cm, a little more is possible. It should have 3 very healthy kidneys. In the fall, they are cut, dripped and covered with a film, a layer of insulation for the winter period. In the spring they release, rooting occurs quite quickly and actively, especially if you take into account the rules of agricultural technology.
  • Root cuttings should also be prepared before the winter period. They are planted in the soil, moistened. You need to leave them for a year in order to get a full-fledged material for planting. When separating the roots, do not overdo it, you can ruin the entire bush. No more than a quarter of the root system should be removed. The offspring are removed along with the ground and planted from mid-summer until the onset of cold weather.
There are many ways to breed raspberries. Raspberries can be diluted with root cuttings, lignified cuttings and root cuttings. Regardless of the method of berry propagation, a number of requirements must be observed to ensure the receipt of high-quality planting material.
