Raspberry is a berry that adults and children love. It attracts with its sweet taste and pleasant aroma. Healing jam is prepared from it, used for the prevention of colds in the cold winter season. Raspberries have antipyretic and diaphoretic properties, it is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals. To increase the number of bushes, you need to familiarize yourself with how raspberries propagate by cuttings in the fall.

Propagation of red and yellow fruits

Sometimes it’s enough to get a new independent plant root a small stalk. It is a piece of stem, which in favorable conditions can give roots. Cuttings should be only those stems that began to look numb. If they are still green, then you need to wait until the leaves completely fall on them. Only then can raspberries be used for further propagation.

After that, individual branches are cut into cuttings with a length of at least 25 cm. They must be taken only from healthy plants that are at least 4 years old. You also need to inspect the bushes growing in the neighborhood. They must also be healthy and without signs of pests, otherwise the disease can spread to cuttings.

To propagate red raspberries, root cuttings, green and root offspring are chosen. In autumn, it is best to use root cuttings.

When is sanitary pruning raspberries, root cuttings are selected. For the winter they are placed in a cool place with high humidity. Planting material must be wrapped in cloth and buried in wet sand. Store cuttings all winter in the cellar. In the spring they are planted in a greenhouse or immediately to a permanent place.

Black and remontant berries

Every raspberry variety differs in the way of reproduction. At the black berry closer to autumn, the tips of the branches bend, and small leaves and loops grow on them. Branches must be cut with a sharp knife and together with the ground transfer to another place. The most suitable time of the year for this procedure is autumn, but you can do this in the spring.

The remont raspberry variety is distinguished by the fact that it gives very few young shoots. It is best to cut such a plant in autumn using root cuttings. Usually, branches on the root grow on the side, they are suitable for reproduction. These cuttings are collected in the fall. They are wrapped in cloth, then the roots are immersed in wet sand, stored in the cellar in winter. In spring, this material is removed and seated in trenches.

Above the plants, you need to make a greenhouse from a plastic film. Sometimes it is necessary to slightly open so that the cuttings are ventilated. When they take root well and new shoots begin to grow on them, the film should be removed.

If the young raspberries were in the greenhouse, but not all developed, then the weak ones are left for further growth until the next season, and the strongest are transplanted to a constant place of growth. It is possible to propagate repair raspberries in autumn using root sections. To do this, follow these steps:

1. It is necessary to take the whole root immediately after the appearance of processes on it. They are divided, leaving a small root at least 5 cm long.
2. The processes should be transplanted into separate containers. To do this, the container is filled with peat, mineral fertilizers and coconut fibers.
3. As soon as the plants take root and begin to develop, it is recommended to plant them in the soil shortly before the autumn frosts.

Spring should be hardened.so that the cuttings can be planted in open ground, bypassing the greenhouses. Initially, they are taken out to the balcony, where the temperature is lowered to 1-2 ° C. Initially, the plants keep about 5 minutes, the next day - up to 10. So gradually it is necessary to bring the time to 1 hour. This procedure hardens the young seedlings, so they will easily develop in the open ground.

This variety can also be propagated using green cuttings. They are cut at the beginning of summer with a sharp knife and immersed in a liquid into which a root growth stimulant is added. For this purpose, it is recommended to use Cornevin or Heteroauxin.

The ends of the processes should be in the solution. They are kept in it for about 18 hours, then transplanted into a greenhouse or greenhouse. For greater root formation, it is advisable to plant cuttings at an angle of about 45 degrees, observing a distance of 10-15 cm from each other.

Cutting Processing

Rooted cuttings are recommended for further processing. To do this, they are immersed in a solution containing fertilizers and trace elements. Also, a Bombardir insecticide and some clay should be added to it. The resulting solution will protect young roots from drying out and pests. Treated plants should be planted in moist and fertilized soil.

It is very important to properly prepare the place for landing. For raspberries, you need to choose a well-lit area located on a flat or slightly elevated area. Before replanting rooted cuttings, It is necessary to do the preparation of the site:

1. Dig a trench or pit. Aisles should be about 1.5-2 meters wide. Pits are dug at a distance of 75 cm from each other. They add compost and ash. About 2 plants can be planted in one hole.
2. When planting, you need to ensure that the root of the neck is not below or above ground level. After planting the cuttings, the plants must be well watered.
3. To preserve moisture, the soil must be mulched.
4. Until the plants take root in a new place, they must be protected from direct sunlight.

If the soil has been thoroughly fertilized when planting, then there is no need to fertilize it first. Next year, you can add mullein, infusion obtained from bird droppings, or green fertilizers made from nettles. In autumn, it is good to plant siderata plants between rows. They can be:

• phacelia;
• mustard;
• oats;
• barley.

In the spring they are mowed and used for mulching the soil.

In autumn, it is recommended to clean old and shrunken plants. In annual crops, the tops must be cut. After rains, loosen the soil and remove weeds. The main thing is to do this with great care, since most of the roots are almost on the surface. If the winters are harsh, then plants need to be slightly tilted and insulated covering material.

The advantages of autumn planting

Raspberry seedlings can be planted in the spring, but it is better to do this in the autumn. Cutting raspberries in autumn It has a number of advantages:

1. Raspberry bushes are sold at a more affordable price. It is possible to better inspect the material for planting, as there may be leaves and even berries on the branches.
2. Those who prefer to cut raspberries in autumn should take into account that during this period the weather is characterized by high humidity, therefore it is much easier to take care of seedlings.
3. Roots develop well if plants are planted a month before the first frosts.
4. After the autumn planting, there is hope to get a crop next season.
5. In autumn, all bushes take root and root well.
