Repair raspberries and its features

A special raspberry variety that appeared more than 250 years ago. A description of this species can be found in 1778 reference books. In our country, it began to grow only in the 70s of the XX century, when breeders began to closely study the properties of remont raspberries.

A feature of the variety is that the shrub can give flowering throughout the growing season on the branches of the first and second year. The shoots of the second year lay flower buds in the fall, like any other raspberry, and bloom in early June. At this time, the green mass of the new season begins to build up, a large number of branches appear that form berries in the second half of summer in the south and closer to autumn in other regions.

Why cut the raspberry raspberry

Gardeners have various goals:

Increase fruiting.
Remove dry branches.
Do not let raspberries grow, form root shoots.
Eliminate damaged and infected branches.
Shorten the shoots.
Rejuvenate the bush.
Prepare for the winter.

It’s important to immediately decide how much raspberry harvest wants to get a gardener - one or two.

Spring pruning

Spring is the time when nature wakes up. At this time, the main thing is not to miss the moment of pruning, when the juice has not yet begun to move. Therefore, raspberries are cut in April, in the northern latitudes - closer to the beginning of May. What pruning is suitable for remont raspberries, when and how to do it correctly, we will consider below.

In the spring, only sanitary pruning is carried out, because everything else is done in the fall. Also in spring, you can help the shrub to improve fruiting. Whatever raspberry is, it bears fruit only 2 times. In the first and second year, then the branches die. They must be cut, if not done at the end of summer.

Spring pruning is good in the south, where there are rare frosts. In winter, raspberries are not covered in anything, the temperature practically does not go below zero.

Already in January or February, the plant starts growing. But there is a chance of weather deterioration, the onset of a short-term decrease in degrees below zero. Opened kidneys will be destroyed.

In this case, in March, you can cut branches, because remont raspberries bear fruit on the shoots of last and current year, only you need to do it correctly. Such an action will not harm the bushes, because in the southern regions the growing season is quite long. How cropping is done can be seen in the video.

Interesting!

Raspberries were known in ancient Rome in the III century BC. And according to the Greek myth, the berries turned red when the Cretan princess pricked the bush, who wanted to treat the little God Zeus, who was born, as you know, on this island.Raspberries came to Europe only in the 16th century.

Summer pruning

Pruning remont raspberries - It’s a troublesome thing, so you need to know when and how to do it right, because in the summer mostly bushes do not cut. Only if they are affected by diseases or pests, as well as if they dry out. Also, all formed shoots are removed. This can help and limiting the roots.

You can remove the extra stems if the plantings are thickened so that they do not take away nutrients from the fruiting branches. And also, starting in mid-July, it is necessary to remove the proclaimed branches of the second year. In the summer, pinch young shoots to form more lateral branches.

Note!

Raspberry productivity depends on the amount of nutrients supplied to the roots, leaves and fruits. The thickening of landings pulls part of them onto themselves. It also provokes the development of fungal diseases in the rainy season.

The same thing happens if the plant is weakened by pests and diseases. Therefore, in addition to pruning, repair raspberries also need proper care.

Autumn pruning

In the fall, thorough pruning is carried out. Its species depend on the preferences of the owner of the plot and about two weeks before frosts.

Fruiting 1 time

If you want the berries to be large and there are a lot of them, it is worthwhile to completely destroy all the shoots. In our article, this is shown in the pictures.

We will analyze step by step what needs to be done in order to succeed, as in the photo.

Take secateurs or scissors with long handles.
Put on thick gloves.
Trim all branches as close to the ground as possible.
Do not forget to collect all the scraps along with the leaves and burn them, as fungi and insects can remain on them.

With this pruning of remont raspberries, fruits can be harvested in July.

Fruiting at least 2 times

Repair raspberries can bear fruit twice a summer. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this method?

The abundance of the crop is also divided in two. The second wave is smaller than the first. Berries may be smaller.
The first fruit formation occurs at the end of June, the second in August.
After the first harvest, additional care for the bushes, replenishment of the soil with nutrients is necessary.

The first time the berries appear on last year's branches, the second - on the branches of this year. Therefore, complete pruning of remont raspberries for double fruiting is not necessary. The main thing is to follow a certain procedure. When and how to do it correctly, we will tell further. Removal occurs according to the scheme:

First shoots of the second year are cut.
Remove damaged branches at the level of the soil surface.
Thinning the bushes, leaving no more than 10 shoots on each, so that the sun rays pass well and constant airing is carried out.
On new branches, the tops are trimmed to the first kidney.

The remaining trunks free from leaves. It is better to do this with thick gloves, simply by running your hand along the branch. All dry leaves will fall immediately.
With the help of a rake, fallen leaves are collected, all cut branches are necessarily burned.
The root system also needs to be trimmed, since in raspberries it spreads horizontally. Sharp bayonet shovels need to cut the roots going from the bush in a circle at a distance of 30-40 cm from the stems.
They put mulch to protect raspberries from freezing. For this purpose, use hay, straw, needles, sawdust, shavings and other materials.

Autumn pruning needed anyway, but what is better to do, the gardener decides.

What after autumn pruning

Whatever you do, but after removing the shoots, raspberries should continue to be taken care of. If the autumn is warm, then rooting is necessary. The last time it is carried out about two days before the onset of frost.

To prepare the bushes for the winter, they need to be fed. Closer to the end of the growing season, organics rich in nitrogen are added, so that with the onset of spring the plants begin to grow. In the northern regions, with incomplete pruning, the branches still need to be bent to the ground and covered.

Pruning remontant raspberries is a common thing for gardeners. And for beginners, who still do not know when and how to do it correctly, our tips will help. We hope that the crops will be plentiful and stable, the main thing is to do everything right.
