Productivity and fruiting

Features of growing raspberries

The seedlings take root very well in a new place and take strong roots, after which they form a reliable root system. But before planting raspberries, there are many important factors to consider. This is especially true for agricultural technology.

Recommended timing

It is important to choose the time for planting, also counting on frosts and taking into account all possible vagaries of the weather. Planting is carried out in spring or autumn.The most suitable temperature will be 10 -12 degrees above zero.

The soil should be slightly warmed up and prepared according to all standards. At high temperatures, planting is not carried out, since then there is less chance that the plant will take root. The soil will dry out very quickly and will not be suitable for planting.

Choosing a suitable location

For planting, choose a place with loose loamy soil. The roots will take root better there. Field plants grow on such soils, so it is not difficult to find. The depth of the planting pit is approximately 2 meters. Choose a sunny place and make beds near the fence. The plant will be protected from the wind.

Preparation of planting material

The soil chosen is not too acidic. Seedlings are selected for planting. The height of the seedling is from 0.8 to 1 meter. There are usually 2-3 young shoots on the plant. It is important that the raspberry root system is not damaged, as this is the key to the successful cultivation of tasty berries and the preservation of the bush. In such a system there will be 6-7 roots.

Before planting, the material is stored in a bag or cloth with plastic tape, protecting it from damage and exposure to various factors.

Planting process

Planting occurs at average temperatures. First, holes 25-30 centimeters deep are dug and fertilized to prepare the site for planting. Add manure, peat, wood ash. The fertilizer is mixed with soil to avoid burns of the root system and damage to young roots.

Plants are planted at a distance of 1 meter from each other. If raspberries are planted in rows, then make a space of 2 meters between them. After this, the young raspberries are buried and a depression is made so that the water is well absorbed and does not stagnate on the surface.This will help prevent the formation of diseases and provide the seedling with the necessary amount of moisture.

Also, immediately around the raspberries of the Bryanskoye Divo variety, a tree trunk circle is formed and mulched. The circle is located at a distance of 45-50 centimeters from the plant. But before that, it is very important to get rid of the weeds.

After the planting process is completed, the young plant is shortened to a height of 40-45 centimeters.

Pegs are stuck into the soil and seedlings are tied up, this is done so that the young raspberries have support until their roots become stronger and take root.

Care instructions

The methods of growing the Bryansk Divo variety are slightly different from the methods of growing other varieties of raspberries, which allows you to take a fresh look at this hybrid.

Watering mode

Watering is carried out twice a day, depending on the size of the bush. This is important in the first years of raspberry life, since the young plant cannot dry out. Also, portions are increased during the fruiting period so that the berries are filled with juice. Water seedlings and adult plants in the evening or in the morning, when the moisture does not have time to evaporate.

If you follow all the rules of watering, then the raspberries will create powerful roots.

Fighting growth and loosening

From time to time, loosen the soil so that the water is well saturated and the roots breathe. But this is done carefully so as not to damage the root system. Weeds and small shoots are removed carefully, because such plants take away the strength and energy of the raspberry. To prevent shoots from appearing near the seedling at first, iron or wooden plates are placed.

Raspberry fertilizer

Fertilizers are applied twice a year. For this procedure, manure or its water infusion is used. Also, some top dressings improve the taste of Bryanskoye Divo raspberries.For example, wood ash is added to each bush at the end of July.

Bush pruning

Before you begin, you should acquire sharp instruments; it is very important that they are sterile. This will help prevent disease and protect the plant from infection.

At the beginning of the growing season, small shoots are carefully cut off. Such pruning stimulates the growth of new, young shoots. The side shoots are endowed with large fruits. The same pruning is carried out after the end of the fruiting period.

If you regularly carry out such procedures, you will be able to keep the soil fertile for many years, since fertilizers will not be wasted. Pruning will not only form the bush, but also preventative measures in pest control. Insects may be hiding in leaves or branches.

In this case, the berries will be larger, and the bush will not “get tired” during the fruiting process.

Preparing for winter

After the last, autumn pruning, preparations for the winter period begin. The Bryansk miracle is famous for its winter hardiness and is able to withstand negative temperatures. Usually the tree trunk circle is insulated; at the base of the raspberries I sprinkle straw and manure, which will warm the plant in cold weather.

Diseases and pests

Like any other crop, this variety is susceptible to some diseases. Although the variety is considered resistant, there are pests that every gardener knows.

To begin with, such a representative is the raspberry beetle. These are yellow-gray insects of small size. They are dangerous because they destroy the buds. After collecting the beetles in jars, the plants are treated with the Iskra preparation.

The raspberry-strawberry weevil is another pest known to gardeners. The larvae of this creature also eat the buds before flowers appear there.The treatment is carried out with the same preparation, but before this the beetles are collected manually.

Raspberry propagation

Propagation of raspberries by lignified offspring is considered one of the simplest methods, since here the chance of successful reproduction is high. Young green suckers are also used. Root cuttings are well accepted by the soil, so gardeners often practice this method. And the most popular is dividing the bush.

Harvesting and storage rules

The collection is carried out from August to September. Stored in the form of preserves, jams and similar products. Raspberries release juice quickly when sprinkled with sugar. The berries are dried for further use as tea.
