Pruning raspberry raspberry is carried out twice a year

It is the pruning of patched raspberry that is the distinguishing feature of the care of this variety from its other varieties. Many gardeners prefer to grow this species, because, although it requires more attention, it is famous for its yield.

Raspberry is planted in rows. Between the seedlings, pegs must be driven in and a wire is held for support. Pruning raspberry raspberries is mandatory, because the bush needs a lot of space. On each square meter you need to leave a maximum of four stems, deleting excess.

Pruning raspberry raspberry is produced in two stages: the first and second years of life. Some are limited and one time, but experienced gardeners believe that the maximum effect in this case will not be obtained.

In the first year of the life of the bush, when shoots grow to one hundred and twenty or more centimeters, pruning a patchwork raspberry consists of an elementary pricking of the tips with a pruner. After that, the plant ceases to grow up, but lateral powerful shoots begin to develop. And it is on them next year will be the most berries.

The first pruning of repair raspberries should be carried out in the spring to enable the lateral shoots to develop normally.

In general, fruiting of this sort of raspberries occurs, as in the other species, on biennial processes. However, annual side shoots are very prolific. But since the bush spends a lot of effort on the first harvest and on the formation of appendages for the second, the agronomists offer a special technology for cultivation of the raspberry varieties.

The shoots grown in the first year are covered in July with flowers that turn into berries in August. It is these stems that specialists offer to remove. Pruning raspberry raspberry in the fall is the cutting off of all three centimeters "penechkov" without exception. Naturally, before that, all the berries from the bushes should already be collected.

The final treatment, carried out before the onset of cold weather, helps the plant to overwinter well. Autumnal pruning of raspberries suggests removal of all shoots that have already yielded, from their very base, as well as weakened young stems. Such a "total" formation of the bush liberates the berry from many pests, for example from larvae of shoot gall midges or spider mite, from pathogens of purple patchiness.

In the second year in spring, the same bush is again cut off, while lateral shoots developed from the main trunk are removed again. This procedure is done in the spring to enable the new processes to mature as early as possible. On the lateral branches, the secateurs prickle the apices to the first, and sometimes even to the second strong kidney. In this case, and from them will go new shoots, giving berries.

In the southern regions, the formation of raspberry bushes is carried out for one, and not for two years. First cut the tops, and already in the middle of summer, somewhere in July, when the lateral processes are already sufficiently developed, they pinch. This method is suitable for all varieties of raspberries.

Some gardeners in May slightly pinch the tops of all shoots. This is done so that the fruiting of this garden culture began a little later and would last for a longer time.

The cultivation of repair raspberry requires special skills for a guaranteed result. Only with the correct planting, care, including pruning, in the midst of the season you can get full baskets of delicious berries.
