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

Even after correct and timely planting, seedlings require appropriate care.Normal plant life is impossible without performing the following work:

  • top dressing;
  • pruning
  • protection from diseases and harmful insects;
  • watering;
  • mulching.

Removal of excess growth is also periodically carried out. When you get rid of it, the plant becomes stronger and more powerful. Due to this, vital activity will be aimed at the formation of fruits.

Raspberries need to be constantly watered from spring until the berries ripen. If there is not enough moisture, the shoots will become thin, the leaves will be lethargic, and the fruits are very small. In dry weather, raspberries should be watered at least 2 times a week. That is why many gardeners are considering installing drip irrigation.

Garter is provided. There are 2 ways to do this:

  • simple garter;
  • fan garter.

The most successful place for planting can be considered a sunny and not darkened area with loose soil. A special requirement is that the appearance of stagnant water should not be observed.

The preparatory stage provides for the introduction of humus into the ground: up to 12 kg per 1 m 2. To increase the likelihood of plant rooting, potassium sulfate and phosphorus fertilizer are additionally introduced. Recommendations for preparing the land:

  • the minimum distance between bushes is 70 cm, between created rows - 1–2 m;
  • it is recommended to plant no more than 2 bushes on 1 m 2 of land;
  • the depth of the holes is 30 cm, the width is 40 cm;
  • around the formed hole, the soil is compacted, a small side of the earth is made;
  • at the time of planting, each plant must be watered with at least 30 liters of water;
  • after completing the planting procedure, sprinkle the plant with dry sawdust or peat.
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 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.

  • reproduction by offspring;
  • root cuttings;
  • using green cuttings.

Cutting green cuttings is done in spring or autumn. The incision is made 3–5 cm below ground level.

Root shoots are dug up and planted in the fall. The main condition is that the aboveground part should be at least 5-10 cm.

Breeding using root cuttings should only be carried out after picking the berries. The process involves digging out the root of a healthy and developed bush, after which the shoots up to 15 cm long are cut.

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.
