Raspberry remontant yellow planting and care in the open field

Yellow raspberry is one of the most interesting crops in our gardens. Yes, you do not meet it often, however, if you try to grow it, then it is already impossible to refuse, because it is not only a delicacy, but also beauty!

Benefits of yellow raspberries

The berries of yellow raspberries are less acidic, which is why they taste sweeter than red ones.

Beneficial features

A small amount of anthocyanins (dyes) allows them to be consumed in food by people prone to allergies, and by pregnant women and young children. The increased content of folic acid defines it as a means of strengthening the immune system, purifying the blood, and maintaining new cells in a healthy state.

Yellow raspberry variety "Folgold" (Fall Gold)

Like the red rival, yellow raspberry, is a good expectorant and diaphoretic and antipyretic agent, has the ability to relieve spasms from tired vocal cords, helps with intestinal disorders, helps to eliminate toxins from the body.

Usage

The berries of yellow raspberries are primarily eaten fresh, but in processing they are no worse than red berries. They make marmalade, marshmallow, jam, jams, compotes ...

Features of yellow raspberries

Most of the varieties of yellow raspberries belong to the remontant group. All modern varieties are distinguished by high yields, up to 6 - 9 kg per bush, have large berries, from 5 to 10, and even 12 g, extended fruiting, increased resistance to diseases and pests, to low temperatures.

There is an opinion that yellow raspberries are not only not transportable, but also do not keep their shape. This statement is actually true, but only in relation to old varieties, modern varieties have a dense drupe, excellent presentation and are well kept.

Growing yellow raspberries

The agricultural technology of yellow raspberries practically does not differ from the agricultural technology of growing red varieties.

Landing place

Saplings are planted in open sunny areas, in places where there is no stagnation of moisture and there is protection from cold northern winds. It is better if the rows are located from north to south or from north-east to south-west, because this way the plants have the opportunity to get maximum light, which is especially true for areas with short cold summers.

If there is a choice, then the most acceptable option for breaking a berry plant is a flat area or a slope up to 8 ° C. A place after nightshade is not permissible, due to the defeat of this group of crops by verticillary wilt. Raspberries are not planted after the raspberries, leaving the land for rest for 5 years.

Soil for yellow raspberries

The best results can be achieved by planting yellow raspberries on sandy and light loamy soils. On sandy soils, plantings will need more painstaking care. But on heavy acidic soils, it is better not to break the raspberry tree at all (if the pH of the soil is <5.5, it is not suitable for planting raspberries).

Landing dates

Like red raspberries, yellow varieties are planted in the fall - at the end of September to mid-October (in the southern regions, a few weeks later or in early spring).

The most effective planting method is trenching with a row spacing of 1.2 - 1.6 m (and for tall varieties and 2 m), a trench width of 0.5 - 0.6 m. be 0.4 m or more.

Saplings are not buried when planting.

Yellow raspberry care

Fertilizers

In order for the yellow raspberry to give a good harvest (stated in the description for the variety), competent care is necessary for it. And the first thing to start with is feeding.

If the culture is planted by the trench method, you can forget about fertilizing for several years. In other cases, it needs nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, boron, iron, manganese.

Many articles have been written about how to properly feed raspberries and many recommendations have been given, however, the common opinion of scientists is the following: the yield of this crop largely depends on the growth strength of the bush at the initial stage of life. Therefore, the raspberry tree for the first three years should be supplied with nitrogen in abundance. For this, nitrogen fertilizers are applied under it already in February-March, localizing them closer to the bushes for the first two years, and then scattering them in a row.

Sometimes the dose is divided into two parts, for the first time feeding the raspberry tree in the fall. At the same time, in the autumn-winter period, part of the nitrogen is washed out, but on the other hand, spring feeding stimulates raspberries to form a large number of shoots, which is also not very good.

Yellow raspberry variety "Morning dew" (Porana Rosa, Porana Rosa)

You can also choose the following scheme: in the first year of plant life, divide the fertilizing with nitrogen and into three parts - the first one should be carried out in early May, the second and third after two weeks, with an interval of two weeks. In subsequent years, leave only the spring fertilization.

The best nitrogen fertilizer in this case is urea, but not in dry form, but diluted in water (50 g per 10 l). Under a bush, such a solution is enough in a volume of 1 liter.

Evidence of the full development of raspberry bushes (not excessive and not inhibited) will be an increase of 10 - 12 strong replacement shoots, up to 1.5 - 2 m high (depending on the variety), with the length of internodes (in the middle part of the shoot) about 8 - 10 cm ...

The rest of the elements are introduced as needed, which can be determined either by a laboratory method, or by focusing on external signs: the color and general condition of the leaves, the length of internodes, the intensity of shoots.

If you do not use fertilizers on your site, apply cow or horse manure under raspberries in the fall, every 2 - 3 years, in the amount of 2.5 - 3 kg per square meter, and also arrange feeding with ash.

Watering yellow raspberries

Another factor that has a direct impact on the amount of the crop is watering. In the south, raspberries are watered 6 to 8 times during the growing season: during the period of intensive shoot growth, before flowering, in the phase of green ovary formation and after harvesting. In the conditions of the middle lane, 2 - 4 waterings are enough: during the period of intensive growth of shoots and after harvesting.

You can water the raspberry tree either along the furrows or by sprinkling.

Yellow raspberry garter

If the selected variety requires a garter, then by the second year after planting, pillars must be installed in the rows of raspberries and a trellis should be pulled over them. The first row of wires is pulled at a height of 1.2 - 1.5 m from the soil surface (depending on the height of the plants), the two lower ones on both sides of the row at a height of 0.6 - 0.7 m. The garter is done before the buds open.

Pruning yellow raspberries

Yellow raspberries also need proper pruning. Repaired varieties are pruned either immediately after fruiting, removing only the fruit bearing shoots, or in the autumn or early spring, completely cutting off the bush. In the first version, this makes it possible to strengthen new shoots and give a full autumn harvest. In the second, it forces the plants to skip the first, but give a more significant second harvest.

Pruning varieties are pruned in one or two stages in order to increase first and second order branching.

In addition, it is important to remember that yellow remontant varieties do not like thickening, reacting to it with a decrease in the quantity and quality of the crop. Therefore, in the spring on the raspberry tree, it is necessary to carry out thinning, leaving 4 to 7 well-formed shoots on the bush.

Weed control

An important point in the cultivation of raspberries is also weed control and loosening of the soil.

Shelter of yellow raspberries for the winter

In most cases, yellow raspberry varieties have sufficient resistance to low temperatures, however, where the winter is cold for them, it is better to take care that severe frosts do not destroy the raspberry tree. To do this, at the end of September - October, raspberry branches are tilted along the row and tied in such a way that they are not higher than 0.4 m above the ground.In places where especially low temperatures are observed in the absence of snow, raspberries are additionally covered with straw. or ground.

Reproduction of yellow raspberries

Most often, yellow raspberries are propagated by seedlings. However, if you wish, or if you cannot get planting material, you can try to get plants from seeds. This is not a simple matter - raspberry seed material requires special storage conditions, proper preparation for sowing and has poor germination, but if you tinker with it, you can get a fairly good result, with a satisfactory, or even high, yield potential.

In order to propagate yellow raspberries with seeds, it is necessary to wash the ripe berries from the pulp, dry the resulting seeds and put them in a paper bag for storage. By the end of September, place the seed in a bag (it can be made from a nylon stocking) and soak it in water for a day. Then, right in the bag, wrap in a dive, planting young plants with an interval of 5 cm sphagnum moss (with a layer of 3 - 5 cm) and place in a cool place with a temperature of 2 - 3 ° C. If it is difficult to find moss, place it in a container with wet sand. In the first ten days of April, sow the seeds on the garden bed in rows with row spacing of 40 cm. After the seedlings have risen.

In summer, the seedlings are routinely treated: watered, loosened, weeds are removed. In the fall, young raspberries are transplanted to a permanent place. At the same time, plants with dark thorns are discarded - raspberries with yellow berries will not grow out of them.

Yellow raspberry, a berry shrub with yellow fruits is not grown commercially. Can be found only in private gardens, in summer cottages. I can explain this by the fact that the seedlings of the best varieties of yellow raspberries are not so easy to buy in nurseries, although there is great interest in them. I think that, firstly, this is due to the attractive unusual color of the berries. And, secondly, it has a pleasant taste, sweeter than that of red-fruited or black-fruited varieties.

In addition, the composition of the fruit contains a small percentage of anthocyanins, that is, yellow raspberries, its fruits can be attributed to dietary products. Allergy sufferers and children can safely eat it in any (reasonable) amount, without fear of an allergic reaction.

There are, of course, disadvantages. The berries of yellow raspberries are less dense, so they are practically not transportable, in contrast to the red ones. Although the selection of varieties does not stand still - there are already varieties whose berries can withstand transportation. These are, for example, Amber, Golden Autumn, and others.

Yellow-fruited raspberry, like any other, is a perennial berry bush. She also has one-, two-year-old stems with a perennial root system. Like common raspberries, they have a two-year development cycle. That is, in the first year, new shoots appear, on which fruits appear in the second year. Then they die off - they are also cut out, removed.

Yellow raspberries are common and remontant.Like any, red or black, the common one ripens in June (Kuban), July (the middle zone of Russia), and the remontant blooms, bears fruit twice a year. The second time is in August-September.

Planting and caring for yellow raspberries is the same as for red ones. By the way, ordinary yellow-fruited raspberry varieties are frost-resistant, therefore they do not require additional shelter for the winter. Caring for remontant varieties is different, we'll talk about this below.

↑ to the content ↑ Repaired yellow raspberries - planting and care

Bushes of remontant yellow raspberries can be planted in rows, in strips - this is the so-called strip planting method. 1.5-2 meters are left between the rows, and in a row, the distance between the seedlings when planting is 50-60 cm.

If you plant seedlings in early spring, then in the fall, with proper care, you can already get the first berries.

The difference in caring for remontant varieties of yellow raspberries is that in the fall, after harvesting, all fruiting shoots are cut out. Pruning is done very low, at the very surface of the earth.

Spring care also has its own characteristics. As soon as the shoots reach 10-15 cm in length, weak shoots should be cut. 10-20 stems should remain on an area about 1 meter long.

By the way, remontant varieties of yellow raspberries can be grown without treating them from diseases and pests. After all, in the fall, all shoots are removed, which means that the timely removal of diseased or pest-infected shoots, sources of infection, occurs.

Repaired yellow raspberries bloom late. This saves the plants from the raspberry beetle larvae, which appear on common raspberry varieties a month earlier.

Another feature is that in winter the area with remontant yellow raspberries looks empty, the roots with buds of future shoots are in the ground, therefore, with a snowless frosty winter, you should cover the rows with sawdust or fallen leaves. In the Kuban, remontant raspberries do not need to be covered.

• Ripening period is early (in the Kuban it is the beginning of June).
• The size of the berries is small (up to 3 g), the color is golden with a slight apricot tint, the taste is excellent.
• The disadvantage is that the variety is not transportable.

Runaway shoots reach a length of 1.7-2 m, erect, almost no thorns. Up to 2 kg of berries can be harvested from one bush. The variety has high frost resistance, medium drought resistance, heat resistance. The fugitive is resistant to major fungal diseases, but not resistant to spider mites.

Be sure to plant this type of raspberry in a sunny place, as it does not tolerate even light shading - the yield drops. Shoots of medium height, not higher than 1.6 m, thorns are only at the bottom. Despite not very tall, the bushes require a garter.

↑ back to content ↑ Apricot

Raspberry yellow-fruited remontant. This is one of the most fruitful (1.5-2 kg per bush) varieties of yellow-fruited raspberries with the most unusual sweet taste - you will feel the light taste of apricot even after eating a few berries. But the apricot flavor may not be there, apparently, it depends to some extent on the weather - it rains or not. Even the color of the berries is not like other yellow-fruited varieties - yellow with a pinkish tinge. The shape of the berries is a blunt cone. Shoots are erect, strongly branching, 1.3-1.6 m long. The bushes are not spreading, but they require a mandatory garter, since untied bushes can fall from the abundance of berries. There are thorns, but they do not interfere with harvesting, as they are located at the bottom.

↑ Back to Contents ↑ The Yellow Giant

Semi-renovated yellow-fruited raspberry. According to reviews, it is the best variety of all yellow-fruited.

• Firstly, the fruits are very large, juicy, very, very sweet.
• Secondly, it is very yielding - from 3 to 6 kg per bush.
• Thirdly, good resistance to major diseases and pests. Fourthly, it bears fruit until the very cold.
• There are two more advantages - the variety is good, it multiplies easily, as it gives a lot of growth, belongs to winter hardy.

But this variety also has disadvantages - the berries are not transportable, therefore it is not suitable for growing on an industrial scale, but in private gardens or in summer cottages it will certainly delight you with a delicious harvest. In addition, if you are slightly late with the harvest, the berries will crumble. And yet there are small thorns along the entire length of the stem.

The size of the berries is large and very large (up to 8 g). According to some reviews, it reaches the size of an average walnut. The shape of the berries is a blunt or rounded cone. The stems are powerful, thick, up to 2.5 m high, and requires a mandatory garter. Fruit twigs grow up to 40 cm long, at least 20 berries are formed on them. Since the variety is semi-remontant, you should not cut off the shoots to the ground in the fall.

In the sweet world of raspberries, there are many varieties of raspberries. The most unexpected, perhaps, is the yellow raspberry. Unexpected, tasty and varied. But in order to grow it on a personal plot, knowledge is needed.

Popular varieties

There is an obvious paradox in the very name of this variety! And the "biography" of the berry may seem dubious. After all, she is a mutant. Yes, yes, no one deliberately brought her out, so strange. It's just that one day it was formed as a result of a mutation, and then they began to multiply it.

But do not let these seeming oddities mislead you, dear gardeners. Unusual in appearance, this berry is in no way inferior to its traditional relatives and even has some advantages. For example, it causes allergies much less often.Nature has talentedly combined sweet and sour shades in her taste, accompanying them with a pleasant aroma. "Non-Malinus Raspberry" is literally applicable to everything. Enjoy it fresh, make jams and jams, create wines and liqueurs.

If you have not planted these bushes on your site yet, it's time to correct the omission. Choose the variety you like. Each of them has its own advantages. Fragrant "Sweetheart", prolific "Yellow Giant", bringing fast harvest "Golden Fool", resilient "Apricot". Popular varieties of yellow raspberries have rightfully won the sympathy of gardeners.

Yellow giant

In the amber-colored family of berries, the Yellow Giant variety is perhaps the best known. And for good reason! He lives up to his name one hundred percent. The bushes are not too sprawling, but they quickly reach for the sun, reaching 2.5 m in height. On strong stems there are large flowers, which then turn into berries - huge, about the size of a walnut. Each branch has two dozen bright yellow lanterns. One bush of "Giant" with careful care will reward you with an excellent harvest, 3-6 kg.

In normal practice, new varieties are created by crossing. And the Yellow Giant is a clone. That's right, it was created in the laboratory by cloning. The result pleased the authors. The variety is different:

• rare yield;
• large berries;
• easy and fast reproduction;
• the ability to bear fruit from mid-summer to late autumn;
• pleasant taste and aroma of juicy berries;
• good health.

The "yellow giant" is not suitable for growing in industrial batches - delicate berries are not suitable for transportation.

But all of its characteristics are ideal for a summer residence or a personal plot. One should only take into account the peculiarity of the variety: the root shoots are developing rapidly, "Gigant" is able to capture the entire area, if the root suckers are not removed in time.

Well, giants are also entitled to whims. Moreover, he will pay back generously to those who will carefully look after him.

Morning dew

Do you want to grow sunny raspberries not only for yourself, but also for a small business? Pay attention to the Morning Dew variety. Specialists from the Polish Institute of Horticulture and Floriculture worked on it, and in its homeland it is called Porana rosa.

This variety is for gourmets who don't like the sugary sweet taste. Round golden berries are pleasantly sour. They are very large, 4-8 g, and taking into account the abundant harvests (one bush brings up to 3 kg) "Morning Dew" needs a garter. Yes, the straight stems are strong, but also very tall, the bushes grow under two meters. Therefore, branches heavy from berries must be supported.

This is a remontant raspberry. The ripening time for "Morning Dew" is autumn, early September. As soon as fruiting is complete, experts recommend immediately cutting off the ground part of the bushes for a better harvest. Note that this variety can also bear fruit twice a year, but experts recommend choosing quality over quantity.

"Morning dew" is quite unpretentious, it is not for nothing that it is called a work-worker variety. Resistant to heat and frost, to diseases, the most productive among the remontant varieties, transportable - this is rarely yellow raspberry, and red too. This variety is rightfully considered one of the most promising.

Yellow sweet tooth

Yellow Sweetheart is an attractive title, isn't it? And not only the name - you will be convinced of this when you get to know the variety better. Choosing just such a yellow raspberry for your personal plot, you choose:

• unusually tasty and aromatic berry;
• rich harvest (about 3-8 kg per bush) from mid-July;
• a plant with a powerful "health", resistant to pests and diseases.

This masterpiece of domestic selection was created at the Research Zonal Institute of the Non-Black Earth Belt in 1990 and since then has repeatedly confirmed its excellent qualities. "Yellow sweet tooth" does not require excessive attention to itself.The main thing to remember is that the shoots should be covered for the winter. Despite the fact that breeders crossed the original variety with a donor of winter hardiness during breeding, you need to take care of "Slasten" in the cold - unless, of course, you live in the south.

In general, caring for this variety is not a problem. Gardeners will appreciate the fact that the bushes are devoid of thorns. And ripe berries stay on the bush for a long time, they are in no hurry to fall.

Harvesting is easy: "Slastena" rarely grows more than 1.5 m. In a word, an excellent option for a summer residence, delicious berries that your whole family will love.

Orange miracle

The cultivar of the future, the elite of remontant raspberries - such flattering characteristics give agricultural technology to the Orange Miracle cultivar. And these are not empty compliments, but a statement of fact.

Judge for yourself. This raspberry can be planted on any soil and, according to the authors of the variety, in any climatic conditions. It does not require undue hassle as it is almost invulnerable to pests and diseases. Ripe berries hang on the bush for a long time. And these amazingly beautiful orange berries begin to ripen somewhere in the middle of August. The end of fruiting is late autumn, the time of the first frosts. Large (6 g on average) berries are delicately sweet, juicy and very aromatic.

Another rare advantage for yellow raspberries is that the variety is transportable. "Orange Miracle" can be grown not only for intra-family use, but also for sale. As a modern variety, "Miracle" is spared by breeders from many disadvantages.

Breeders position the variety as resistant to any conditions, it does not need intensive feeding and super-protection from pests. But there are conditions that the Orange Miracle will especially like. There is nothing unusual about them: a sunny place for planting and sufficient watering for seedlings. Well, and a garter of bushes, because each of them promises a yield of 2-2.5 kg. Orange lights of ripe berries will greatly decorate your site.

Apricot

Do you like raspberries really sweet? Then forget about the usual "red" varieties. Yellow "Apricot" is what you need.

The variety owes its name to its unusually beautiful color, which really looks like a ripe apricot. A delicate yellow-orange shade with a subtle pink tan looks fantastic. But at the same time, the taste and aroma are the most raspberry.

This wonderfully beautiful berry is intended for children, it seems, by nature itself. No sweets can be compared with the taste of berries, and it is easy to pick them: the bushes are not tall, they rarely stretch more than 160-170 cm.And on the top of the branches there are no thorns at all.

A not very large-looking bush will bring an excellent harvest - up to 4 kg. Of course, one of the advantages of the "Apricot variety" is its remontability. The first berries will ripen by mid-summer. And the second wave of the harvest - until the first frost.

The "apricot" raspberry is rather tender; it is best suited to a moderately warm climate. In the cold and dampness, the berries are destroyed by decay. And the heat and drought do not allow the taste to fully develop. But in pleasant conditions, it will delight you both in summer and in winter. Jam from "Apricot" is not only very tasty, but also magically beautiful.

Video "Growing"

From the video you will learn how to grow such an unusual berry as yellow raspberries.

Planting yellow raspberries

The rules for planting an unusual raspberry are, in essence, the same as for its red "relative". The place is chosen sufficiently lit - every raspberry loves the sun. Inquiries about the composition of the soil in these varieties are quite modest, but nevertheless, the soil needs to be well moistened. Enrichment with manure and peat, sand additives and nutrient mixtures will be beneficial.

If you are going to plant raspberries in an area where some crops have already grown, please note: not all predecessors are good. Remember that it is completely excluded

• tomato;
• pepper;
• potato;
• strawberries.

The fact is that they have diseases and pests in common with raspberries. It is better to protect the delicate berry from such a legacy.You can easily plant raspberries where carrots, zucchini and cucumbers used to grow.

The time for disembarkation is autumn and spring. If using green cuttings, then summer. For seedlings, you can prepare both holes (40-50 cm at a distance of 1 m) and trenches (45 cm deep, 50 cm wide). Repaired varieties are preferable to plant in rows.

It is recommended to moisten the roots of the seedlings in a mullein solution before planting. The optimum depth is for the root collars to be a few centimeters above ground level. Make sure the roots are well covered with earth. After planting seedlings, mulch the soil. For this, humus, peat or just dry land are suitable. Now pour again at the root, but so as not to wash off the soil from the roots.

Further care

So, yellow raspberries appeared on your site, planting and caring for which are quite traditional for this plant. One of the important parts of grooming is watering. Raspberry loves to "drink", but excessive moisture is harmful to her, so we are looking for a middle ground.

Excessive thickening is also not good for it. It is very important to remove excess shoots and root processes in time. By doing this, you will provide the bush with both an adequate supply of nutrients and good lighting. And these are the necessary conditions for obtaining a rich harvest.

Therefore, we will highlight four main points:

• sufficient, timely watering;
• thorough, but careful, not damaging the roots, loosening the soil;
• top dressing during the period of active growth (early summer - nitrogen fertilizers, the second half - complex);
• timely removal of excess shoots.

Of course, you need to remove the weeds among the raspberries. But there is no need to throw them away or destroy them. Throw them under bushes: rotting, the weed will feed the raspberries and create a mulching layer.

When and how to prune the bushes? The first snow and frost is a signal for the gardener: the time has come to prepare the bushes for winter. You should not cut them before the snow. After all, this plant makes good use of autumn before frost: raspberries accumulate nutrients for the next season in order to actively grow and bear fruit well.

Preparing for winter, you need

• cut off completely the top of the raspberry bush;
• remove fallen leaves and loose berries;
• perform shallow loosening of the soil;
• complete the process with mulching.

For the winter, remontant varieties must be covered. After all, the roots with buds are in the ground. For shelter, fallen leaves or sawdust are used.

In general, agricultural technology is not specific. If you have experience in caring for red raspberries, you can apply it with success.

Tying

Many varieties of "golden" raspberries produce bountiful harvests. This is definitely a big plus. But these are also additional obligations for the gardener. In order to save this crop and spare the hard-working raspberry, the bushes need to be tied up. This is a kind of helping hand.

There are three main ways to tie:

• stake - a stake with a height of 2 m is placed in the center of the bush, stems are attached to it at a height of 1.5 m;
• fan - stakes are placed between the bushes, half of the bush must be tied to each of them;
• trellis: between the bushes, posts with stretched wire are installed.

The first two methods are from the series “cheap, convenient and practical”. They can be used quite effectively in small raspberry beds. However, experienced gardeners prefer trellises. They are necessary if you have an extensive raspberry patch where the bushes are planted in rows. Trellis will keep the branches intact in the wind and help maintain good lighting. Taking care of the bushes and harvesting is also far more convenient in a civilized area.

Pests, diseases and control of them

The vast majority of yellow raspberry varieties have earned a reputation for being highly pest and disease resistant. But there are advantages of remontant varieties. They, according to experts, do not need to be processed at all. They are insured against the worst enemy - the crimson beetle - because they bloom late.The peak of the destructive activity of the pest occurs a month earlier. And in the fall, the shoots of the remontant raspberry are removed. Consequently, there are no sources of infection - shoots affected by a disease or pest.

• However, other varieties are endowed with enviable "health". To maintain it, one must remember about prevention. It is simple:
• systematic weeding deprives pests of their habitat;
• systematic pruning provides ventilation, lighting, avoids excessive humidity;
• loosening the earth prevents the growth of weeds, provides the bush with adequate nutrition;
• burning of cut parts - elimination of sources of infection.

But it is also recommended to treat the bushes with karbofos three times in the spring. You need to repeat it after harvesting.

Do not water the raspberry with too cold water, do not allow it to turn into a "jungle" - and the extraordinary raspberry will delight you with a wonderful harvest.

Video "Pests"

From the video you will learn what pests can harm raspberry bushes.

Thanks to the tasty and valuable fruit, raspberries are grown in private plots. This shrub with long, slender stems grows up to 2 meters. The stems are saturated with green leaves with a whitish stem. Raspberry fruits are concentrated on tassels, which are located separately from the leaves, on the stalk. Raspberry berries are red, but there are also yellow or dark purple fruits. The article will consider remontant raspberries, planting and caring for which are not difficult for gardeners.

Properties of raspberries, benefits for the body

Raspberries are a fragrant bush prized for their health benefits. The fruits contain organic acids (ascorbic, citric, malic and salicylic), pectin, anthocyanins, mucous compounds and useful fibers. The berry contains vitamins - C, E, K, PP and group B, a large amount of minerals - potassium, magnesium, calcium and iron.

Raspberries are also valuable in leaves containing tannins, flavonoids, organic acids and mineral salts, which have antibacterial, astringent and anti-inflammatory effects. Leaves and berries are antipyretic.

Raspberry berries, due to the content of ellagic acid, have:

• antibacterial action;
• analgesic effect;
• soothe;
• lower blood pressure;
• help in the treatment of colds;
• useful for inflammation of the mouth, pharynx and larynx.

Raspberries are included in the diet for weight loss - they are involved in the processes of digestion and cleansing the body of toxins. They have antioxidant properties - this helps to remove free radicals from the body.

Growing raspberries is a simple process, so every gardener should keep them in their garden.

Delicious raspberries are picked from the bush. Eat raw, make jams, jellies, juices, syrups or tinctures. Berries are added to ice cream, cakes, mousses, and meats (beef, pork, or poultry). Raspberry juice warms the body and is invaluable during autumn and winter evenings.

Raspberry serves as a component in cosmetics used for skin care, as it moisturizes, softens and tones. Raspberries regulate sebum production and act as an antiseptic, cleanse the skin by removing dead cells, relax and tone it up.

Soil and climate suitable for growing

Raspberries grow best in sunny areas. She loves fertile soil, rich in nutrients, but drained and slightly acidic, pH 5.5 - 6.5. The semi-shrub does not tolerate alkaline soils, it loves moisture in the ground, but not too wet areas, with a high level of groundwater.

Raspberries grow well on loose, sandy soils, as they have a shallow root system.Therefore, nutrients are absorbed along with moisture from the soil. The plant easily tolerates winter cold and temperature drops.

Reproduction, planting rules in spring and autumn

Raspberries are grown in the same location for several years, so proper preparation of the soil for cultivation is important. The area for saplings is thoroughly cleared of weeds, such as wheatgrass and bindweed. The soil is enriched with organic matter. It is recommended to measure the soil pH level using an acidometer, in case of negative results - to correct the acidity level by acidifying or de-acidifying the soil.

Raspberries are planted in spring or fall. The planting depth is not great, it is enough to dig a hole with a shovel 15-20 cm deep. After planting, you need to press (trample) the soil around the plant, and water abundantly. After that, cut off the stems with pruning shears, leaving a length of 30 cm. If the plants are planted in rows, the distance between them should be two meters. Plants between seedlings depend on the variety, ranging from 50 to 100 cm. See also the article: → "Planting raspberries in the spring."

Planting raspberries in open ground in spring

Raspberries are grown in a single-row method, for this they are huddled, covered with soil 15-30 cm high. This method of cultivation reduces the risk of root diseases. Raspberries are planted in the fall to create natural breeding conditions.

Gardeners Recommended Raspberry Varieties

Raspberries are classified into two types, which are defined by fruiting. The first one bears fruit twice a year, in summer and again in autumn. This is a remontant raspberry. The second type bears fruit once a year; pedicels on two-year-old shoots bear fruit only once a year, in June or July. Read also the article: → “Raspberries in your garden. Varieties of garden raspberries ".

Inflorescences, repeated on the shoots of annual plants, bear fruit twice a year, first of all in June or July, and then in September or October. Both types differ in the way they are pruned and cultivated. Varieties belonging to the type of one fruiting per year:

• weasel;
• benefit;
• beskid;
• falcon;
• canby;
• tilamine;
• coral;
• vyatyan;
• gleb.

The more common varieties grown by gardeners and farms include highly productive varieties:

• glade;
• woodland;
• temptation;
• brother-in-law.

Some farms grow varieties of an interesting variation - morning dew, with yellow fruit berries.

Weeding and pruning raspberry bushes

If mulching was not used during cultivation, weeds and other unnecessary plants on the ridges are removed to obtain a crop. Weeds pull in nutrients. In addition to weeds, unripe raspberry sprouts are also removed, which draw only juice from young plants. In addition to weeds, crimson suckers are removed. Sucker shoots compete with full-fledged plants and lead to diseases of raspberry tubers.

These growing shoots inside the bushes can be removed by hand or cut with a sickle. They appear at a greater distance from the bush, they can be removed with a sickle or shovel. Spring pruning of plants and removal of young, undeveloped shoots is beneficial for raspberries, bushes bear fruit more extensively, and young shoots are less susceptible to diseases and pests.

Tip # 1. When mulching raspberries, agrotextiles are used, which reduce the growth of weeds, grass suckers, and retain moisture in the soil. Raspberry roots are distributed as expected in the topsoil.

Pruning in the first year after planting

After planting, each variety is worthy of respect and requires grooming. This applies to the first year of life. As a result, proper rooting of plants is maintained. Sections are made with a pruner, preferably on a sunny day; after cutting, you can put a special tool on the wound.

If we are dealing with raspberries of one fruiting, the fruits appear on the canes of the previous year, they are cut flush to the base of the stems. Weak and overly thickened bushes are cut off. A maximum of 10-12 strongest shoots are left on the bush.

Autumn pruning of remontant raspberries

Fruits appear twice during the season without forming shoots on the same shoots. In June or July, they appear at the base of the shoots, and in September or October at the ends of the shoots of annual plants. The tip after fruiting is cut off with a pruner. The next year, after the appearance of fruits in the summer, they appear at the base, and then after the end of fruiting, the shoots are exterminated flush with the ground.

The buds at the base of the shoot begin their activity in the spring of next year, creating new annual shoots. In addition, weak or too numerous stems are removed. More often, the cultivation of raspberries is reduced to obtaining fruits once a season, in September or October. The fruits are bigger and better.

Recommendations for proper watering

Raspberries are a plant with high water demands, especially during flowering and early ripening. Lack of water and nutrients during this time causes a number of disadvantages:

• the fruits are smaller and the yield is lower;
• berries contain few vitamins and nutrients;
• the benefits of minerals are reduced;
• poor product quality.

Tip # 2. If the soil is dry, provide regular watering of the shrubs. When watering remontant raspberries, do not wet the leaves and stems, as this increases the risk of developing fungal diseases.

Landing methods and their features

For fruiting remontant raspberries in the summer, a special place is organized for it so that bushes can be tied up. When growing annual varieties, you can do without special supports. Cultivation of remontant raspberries is carried out in various ways. The following options are possible:

• one-line method;
• two-line;
• double row Dutch.

For the first method, at the beginning and at the end of the row, supports are installed, which are connected with wire at a height of 120 cm and 180 cm.If necessary, an additional row of attachments is made at a height of 60-80 cm. Raspberry shoots are attached to a wire for one meter with 12 strong stems. With so many shoots, the height is reduced to 160-170 cm.

One-row method of planting raspberries

When growing raspberries in a two-row way, the distance between the rows is 50-60 cm. When growing in parallel, the plants are left 120 cm high on both sides of the row.

Dutch method. On both sides of the row, remontant raspberries are left 80 cm high at a distance of 80 cm from each other. On one side of the bed are the seedlings that are bearing fruit this year. On the other side, the shoots of this year are developing. They will bear fruit next year. In subsequent years, the fruits are harvested alternately.

Top dressing of remontant raspberries

Raspberries need a lot of nitrogen for proper growth and development. To replenish it, organic and mineral fertilizers are used. The applied fertilizers are thoroughly mixed with the topsoil using a fork or shovel. The list of fertilizers used to feed remontant raspberries is presented in the table:

Organic fertilizers	Green manure	Mineral fertilizers
manure	lupine	one-component
dried manure	field peas	polysyllabic
granulated manure	legumes
compost	sunflower
	corn

Before using monosyllabic mineral fertilizers, the soil is tested for the exact content of nutrients of micro- and macroelements in the soil. When using polysyllabic fertilizers, choose those that do not contain chlorine, since raspberries are sensitive to chlorides. In the garden centers there are specially formulated fertilizers for berry bushes, in which the nutrients are balanced.

Diseases and pests of raspberries

Raspberries are exposed to diseases, fungal and viral, and are attacked by various pests. Many pest and disease problems stem from poor growing conditions. Proper cultivation and care is the key to healthy raspberry bushes, and, consequently, the number of fruits. All types of agents, natural or chemical, are used to control diseases or pests, always following the instructions on the labels.

Raspberry viral diseases

The most common diseases and pests of raspberries are shown in the table:

Diseases	Pests
gray rot	mite
dying off of shoots	leaf roll
white leaf spot	dung beetle
chlorosis	raspberry
powdery mildew	Fritillary
dwarfism

Harvesting and storage of berries

Raspberries are harvested at maturity, preferably immediately after reaching maturity. The berries are fully ripe when they are easily separated from the peduncle. In summer, remontant raspberries are harvested two or three times a week, in autumn, when the fruits ripen slowly, once or twice a week.

The berries are harvested in dry weather, wet fruits quickly rot. Raspberries are very unstable and not suitable for long-term storage. The berries are stored for no more than two days; for longer storage, the fruits are frozen.

Answers to topical questions of gardeners and gardeners about growing raspberries

Question number 1. Do you need to weed raspberries?

To get a good harvest, raspberries must be completely free of weeds.

Question number 2. How often are raspberries watered?

The soil around the raspberry bush should receive 5 cm of water per week.

Question number 3. Is bedding used when growing remontant raspberries?

Litter is used to reduce weed problems and to maintain high soil moisture levels. Shredded wood, bark and needles are mixed with the soil to a depth of 7.5 - 10 cm.

Question number 4. How to protect plants in natural ways?

Starting from the second year, sow oats between the rows of raspberries, immediately after harvest. Oats help to strengthen raspberries during the winter by consuming excessive amounts of water and nutrients from the soil, reducing weed growth. Oats dry out at low winter temperatures, covering the soil, reducing its erosion in the spring.

Grass is sown between rows of plants at a distance of 30 cm from the raspberry bush. Otherwise, the grass will absorb moisture and nutrients. The cut grass prevents soil erosion and the emergence of weeds.

Question number 5. When is fertilizer applied for remontant raspberries?

Raspberries are fertilized every year, in early spring, in mid-April. It is best to divide the recommended compost dose in half, apply the first part in mid-April and the second after six weeks.

With timely feeding, raspberries grow more berries that ripen earlier.

Gardeners' mistakes when growing raspberries

Mistake # 1. Improper watering.

Gardeners water raspberries a little every day. This is a refreshing watering, only the top layer of the soil is moistened, without penetrating into the root zone. It is better to carry out rare but abundant watering before the root layer gets wet.

Mistake # 2. Non-compliance with the distance between the rows.

Raspberries thrive in the wild, but that doesn't mean they can be planted as desired. Observe the distance between rows 60-80 cm, between beds 100-180 cm.

Mistake number 3. Double cropping.

Novice gardeners use double pruning when growing remontant raspberries, which leads to lower yields. This pruning method is applicable to raspberry varieties that bear fruit once a year.

Recommendations for breeding remontant raspberries

• In amateur conditions, raspberries are propagated by shoots. The young shoots are separated from the mother plant with a shovel.Young seedlings are taken only from healthy bushes.
• When growing remontant raspberries on an industrial scale, they are propagated by roots or cuttings. The roots are cut into pieces 10-15 cm long and placed in the ground to a depth of 5 cm. In the spring, young shoots will grow from dormant buds.
• For propagation by woody cuttings, raspberry stems are cut into pieces of 10-15 cm, they must have at least one well-formed bud (bud). The cuttings are planted in the ground to a depth of 5 cm, it is important that the bud remains above the soil surface.
