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

The raspberry bushes of the Generalissimus variety are usually formed in rows, with a distance between seedlings of 1 m and a strip of 2 m between adjacent planting lines. When choosing a bush growing scheme, the entire area is divided into rectangular blocks of 1.5 × 2 m. Plants are placed in the corners. And also, tape planting is practiced in 3 lines with a distance of 75 cm between bushes and 2 m in rows. When growing, the raspberry is thinned out so that no more than 5 fruitful shoots are per bush.

Site selection and soil preparation

The optimal soil for the raspberry is light, fertile. The choice of a place for planting the Generalissimo's bushes is made in favor of the southern side of the site, along the perimeter of the fence or building. It is important that the plants get enough sunlight and that the groundwater does not run close to the roots.

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.

Pruning

Periodic pruning by the Sobolev method is recommended. To increase productivity, the entire surface of the bush is cut out after fruiting. In this case, fruiting becomes one-time, later and amicable - on the branches of the current year.Summer pruning is carried out by removing 20 cm of the length of the branches. In the spring, it is carried out only on secondary shoots, if the bush has not been completely freed from the aboveground part.

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.

Watering and feeding

The optimal irrigation method is drip, with automatic irrigation at regular intervals. Especially important is the flow of liquid during active growing season, until the end of fruiting. The soil is kept moist to a depth of 30-40 cm. Top dressing is preferably done using organic raw materials, for the prevention of diseases and soil deoxidation, dusting and dusting with ash.

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.

Frost resistance and preparation for winter

The variety is winter-hardy. It does not need additional shelter, it can easily survive short-term cold weather under the snow. In the Urals and Siberia, other cold regions does not take root. The main measure of preparation for winter is the removal of the aerial part of the plant. In this case, it will remain to mulch the roots abundantly, cover them with a layer of humus so that the raspberries overwinter successfully.

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.

To help the plant, it is very important to be able to recognize the disease in time and begin timely treatment.

Reproduction

There are many ways to breed raspberries. Raspberries can be diluted with root cuttings, woody 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.
