Yellow raspberry refers to frost-resistant plants, but it does not tolerate drought, it is also undesirable to plant it in open areas where it is not protected from the wind. This berry culture initially grew in forests, where moisture is always stored, and the soil is nutritious and friable. If the top layer of the earth dries up, the plant stops fruiting and growing, as the surface root system does not reach the water. Therefore, we must try to create houses that are most similar to the natural environment of growing conditions of shrubs.
In all well-lit, drained, soiled and not over-moistened soils, yellow raspberry can grow. The photo of the fruit of this shrub makes many gardeners buy such a beautiful plant.

To prevent moisture for longer, it is necessary to mulch the planting, and the introduction of hydrogel under the bush will also help. As fertilizer, you can use ash, manure, lime or infusion of weeds. Raspberries are very fond of nitrogen, so the soil should be kept moist if possible, and in the beginning of summer it is recommended to fill it with slurry or infusion of weeds, then the harvest will please more than one year.
