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

For the harvest of raspberry Gusar to be really rich, just planting seedlings is not enough. There are a number of grooming activities that must be performed on an ongoing basis.

  • Moisturizing. The variety is drought tolerant, but it is important to water it on time, especially during dry periods. Watering is carried out once a week and a half, about 10 liters are poured onto one bush.Moistening can be done not only by the root method, but also by rain, drip. Rain watering, however, is contraindicated in the formation of fruits - they can rot.
  • Garter. Supports for this variety are not required, but when the fruits ripen, it is better to tie up the bushes. This can be done in fan, tapestry ways.
  • Pruning. The Gusar variety must be pruned in time, otherwise the yield will decrease. This procedure is carried out after harvest or in the spring, when the frosts are gone. In autumn, about 0.5 m of the bush and branches on which there were no berries are removed completely. In the spring, all unnecessary branches are removed, creating visual density. Fruit-bearing shoots are cut 20 cm from the soil.
  • Cleansing and loosening. It is necessary to loosen the soil regularly, otherwise nutrients will not flow to the roots. Loosens the soil about 7 cm deep. Straw and humus are placed on top. Remember to remove the weeds, or they will drown out the raspberries.
  • Top dressing. At the beginning of the warm season, it is important to start fertilizing the soil. First, fertilize with manure, when the flowering period begins, you can feed it a second time with potassium-phosphorus compositions.
  • Preparing for frost. An annual with cut off stems can easily endure frosts if the roots are mulched. If the winter is not snowy, but unfavorable in terms of frost, you need to create a shelter for the roots.

Site selection and soil preparation

A raspberry of this variety is organized in a lighted place, where there are no strong winds, a draft. It is very important to choose a quality seedling with one shoot at least 1 cm thick at the bottom. It is best to buy planting material in a specialty store, and not from your hands. The composition of the soil is not particularly important, the main thing is that the site is even, well lit, without nearby groundwater. It is optimal to plant Hussar on the ground with good air exchange.

Eggplants, potatoes, tomatoes, carrots should not be pre-grown on this land. Optimum soil acidity is neutral, clay structure is allowed. But it is better to enrich clay soil with sand.

Disembarkation is carried out in spring or autumn, the main thing is freezing temperatures. When planting in spring, there will be no abundant yield, the plant will try to take root as it should. Autumn is a more favorable period, the main thing is to catch at least a third of a month before frost. The hussar can be seated by handicraft, tape or trench methods. It is important to fertilize raspberries with organic matter when planting: humus or rotten manure. The seedlings are pre-soaked for 2 hours.

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.

Diseases and pests

Despite good immunity, it is important to prevent the appearance of such problems. There are a number of diseases and pests to be wary of:

  • overgrowth - affects young growth, while a huge number of dense shoots are formed, the development of the bush stops, it is necessary to cut and burn diseased bushes;
  • yellow and green mosaics - spots of the corresponding shades are formed on the leaves;
  • curliness - shoots are shortened, curl, foliage curls;
  • raspberry beetle - harms leaves, fruits, ruins the harvest;
  • raspberry mosquito - larvae appear, gnawing the bark and affecting the center of the stem;
  • raspberry moth - affects adult plants.

It is very important to prune raspberries on time, carry out spraying with special compounds and remove weeds.

Unfortunately, raspberries, like other plants, do not bypass various diseases and pests. Only 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

The Gusar variety is propagated by different methods, and the seed is used very rarely, since the characteristics of the variety disappear. Reproduction by cuttings is much more often used:

  • fresh shoots are cut in June and placed at an angle in a greenhouse room, which needs to be ventilated;
  • the cuttings are moistened until they take root (about 2 weeks);
  • it is necessary to feed with a complex composition and plant the cuttings in the garden.

By the root method, reproduction occurs in this way:

  • in the summer, a seedling with shoots of at least 15 cm is dug;
  • he disembarks at a prearranged place.

Division of the bush:

  • the bush is divided into parts, each is cut to 0.5 m;
  • each part is planted separately.

Root cuttings:

  • at the end of the season, the shoots are cut into 10 cm pieces;
  • they are planted in prepared and fertilized soil;
  • planting is watered and mulched.
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.
