Reproduction raspberries remontant planting and care in the open field

Raspberries are rightfully considered a delicious and healthy garden plant. Therefore, it is present on the personal plots of many summer residents. In ordinary raspberry varieties, the appearance of fruits on young shoots occurs only in the second year.... Compared to other garden shrubs or trees, this is fast, but breeders were able to speed up this process even more, for example, varieties of remontant raspberries, the cultivation of which can be found below.

Features of varieties of remontant raspberries: timing of flowering and fruiting

The remontant raspberry includes many varieties bred by the breeding method, the shoots of which bear fruit already in the first year. Its content allows you to get more harvest than from conventional or wild varieties. Why?

Repaired raspberries at the beginning of spring start up shoots from the root, which develop rapidly and in the same season give an abundant amount of fruit... After they ripen, the upper part of the branch dries up, and the lower one becomes woody. In the next season, these last year's bushes give fresh shoots and bring a new crop.

Repair raspberry

The peculiarity of these varieties is that the ripening period of fruits on young shoots and old branches is different... This allows you to harvest for a sufficiently long time. It is characteristic that pests rarely live on this raspberry, since it has matured more quickly, and by this time the parasites have not yet had time to multiply.

Two crops are harvested in one season, but in order for this to work, proper care is needed, namely, to pick the first fruits in time so that they do not exhaust the bush... Despite these benefits, remontant raspberries do not reproduce as fast as regular raspberries. I would like to note for novice gardeners, if you grow several bushes on your site, it will take years for them to grow naturally into a large plantation. Although this can be useful, because inconveniences are eliminated when the shoots spread outside the area allocated for them.

The most popular varieties of remontant raspberries are:

• penguin;
• Golden autumn;
• hercules;
• rhinoceros;
• polana;
• ruby necklace, etc.

Landing rules on a personal plot, soil preparation

For high yields, you need to provide the raspberries with plenty of sunlight. therefore the planting site should be in an open area away from trees and buildingsthat create a permanent shadow. For remontant varieties, watering is important, so you need to choose a place where it is convenient to deliver water. Direct planting can be carried out both in spring and autumn.

It is believed that a more plentiful harvest in the first year is obtained with the autumn planting of bushes. This should be done in late September and early October, before the start of the morning frost.

You can plant raspberries in the immediate vicinity of water bodies, but the groundwater should be deeper than 1 m from the surface. The best soil is loam, although the bushes can grow in almost any land, especially if they are provided with the necessary amount of fertilizer. It is good when mustard or rye grew on the site in front of the raspberries. If the predecessors were potatoes, peppers or tomatoes, then fertilizer must be added when planting.

To facilitate the preparation of the site, fertilization can be carried out not in the planting pits, but simply around the entire perimeter. To do this, for each square meter of area, you need to add 2 buckets of humus and a glass of superphosphate and potassium sulfate. After that, the soil is dug up or processed by mechanized methods.

Planting raspberries can be done in pits or trenches

When the place is prepared, you need to dig holes along the root collar of the seedling. The distance between the bushes should be 50-100 cm, and between the rows 120 cm... Each plant must be watered with water in the amount of 5 liters. When the liquid is completely absorbed into the soil, then the earth can be mulched. If the planting takes place in the spring, then it will be useful to soak the roots of the seedlings for a day in water with a growth stimulator, which will serve as an additional guarantee of high survival rate.

Proper summer care: watering, feeding and harvesting

Since remontant raspberries are actively bearing fruit, they are in dire need of moisture. For this in the summer it should be watered periodically... This should be done once a week. The soil under the bushes should always be moist. In dry times, the frequency of watering can be increased. Unlike other plants, which require moisture only for a short time during the period of fruit formation, raspberries need it constantly. This is due to its peculiarity of ripening two crops per season. With proper watering, the second harvest will be only slightly worse than the first.

Raspberries need constant watering

The soil surface should be loosened and weeds removed. In the first year after planting, many seeds of wild plants are kept on the site, which will compete with raspberries. They need to be weeded periodically, preventing overgrowth. With proper care several seasons, raspberries will grow and fill all the space between the rows. Then the care will become a little easier, since she herself will not allow the development of weeds.

If the variety chosen for planting has high growth and thin branches, then it will sag under the weight of the fruit. To avoid this, you can dig in or hammer in rows with raspberry poles or poles at a distance of 2-3 m from each other... Between them, at several levels, a rope, wire or twine is pulled. The bottom support should be 50 cm from the ground, and the next 50 cm higher.

It is recommended to tie up raspberry bushes to avoid damage to the berries.

In this way, it will be possible to tie up several bushes between each pair of pillars. If this is not done, then during fruiting the branches will fall on the ground and the fruits will start to deteriorate... This will be inevitable, because the distance between the bushes, until the raspberries have grown, is very large and they do not hold each other.

From the third season, the soil in the area with raspberries becomes poorer, therefore, it needs additional feeding. This is best done with organic fertilizers. To do this, you can dilute chicken droppings at the rate of 1 kg per 20 liters of water. Liquid fertilizer is applied at 4 liters per sq. m. Such recharge is necessary 2-3 times per season.

How to prune bushes in spring and autumn?

Pruning can be done twice a year. The first time in the spring, before flowering, and the second in late autumn. This is done according to the following scheme. It is recommended to cut the bushes at a distance of 3 cm from the ground in late autumn... The resulting tops should be burned. This approach eliminates pests that are preparing to winter on the branches, and will give an impetus for the rapid development of young shoots in the spring.

In the fall, you can cut remontant raspberries as usual varieties, when only the tops of the bushes are removed. This will allow you to get young shoots and two-year-old shoots for the next season, which will stretch the ripening of the fruits.

Spring pruning consists of removing dry parts of the bushes that have not survived the winters.at. This sanitary pruning is done before the first healthy kidney. It is easiest to carry out it in April, when the plant begins to actively resume its vital activity. Then you can immediately see which kidneys are healthy and which ones have dried up. Sanitary pruning at this time does not take much time, but you need not delay with the beginning, because if you start work when the first leaves appear, you can damage them.

Autumn raspberry pruning

Planting density is controlled in spring... It is necessary to remove excess shoots in such a way that 1 sq. m there were 10-15 of them left. If this is not done, then the plants will compete with each other, and their fruits will become small and less sweet. If in the fall all the bushes were cut to the root, then in the spring there will only be a little thinning of the young shoots if there are too many of them.

Breeding methods, advice for novice gardeners

There are several ways to propagate remontant raspberries:

• plant root suckers;
• root cuttings;
• green cuttings.

Root offspring

Breeding bushes from root suckers is not possible on all varieties, since some of them have a weak underground part. The method is to dig out the root shoots that appear in the bushes at the age of several years.... One plant can produce around itself several offspring, the number of which ranges from a few pieces to two dozen.

Reproduction of raspberries by root suckers

The shoots grow next to the mother bush, so they will soon compete with it, but if they are dug up and planted in a new place, then you can get more benefit. For this, when they reach 5-10 cm, they can be dug up and planted. After they take root, they will begin to grow rapidly and bring the first harvest the next season.

Root cuttings

Propagation of raspberries by root cuttings

Propagation by root cuttings is that in the fall, the root of a healthy plant is dug up and divided into pieces of 2-4 cm... The resulting cuttings are planted in one row to a depth of 6-8 cm and watered. In the spring they will sprout, which will need to be watered until autumn. At the end of August, they will turn into full-fledged seedlings, and they can be transplanted to a permanent place.

Conventional cuttings

Breeding with green cuttings is also an effective way. It lies in the fact that at the beginning of summer, young shoots are separated from the mother bush with a small root... To do this, it is enough to go deep a few centimeters into the ground and cut off the branch. After that, it is planted in the ground and actively watered. For maximum effectiveness, cut green shoots can be soaked in a growth promoter. In addition, if they are planted in a greenhouse, the survival rate will also increase.

Breeding raspberries with green cuttings

Thus, it is safe to say that to breed and care for remontant raspberries, it is quite simple... Most of the time and effort will have to be applied in the first year, but when the root system gains strength, then worries decrease. The pruning process also does not require special skills, and if you completely cut off the bushes in the fall, then in early spring you can practically not devote time to the plants.

Raspberry is a semi-shrub, the fruits of which have unique medicinal properties and contain a whole range of biologically active substances: ascorbic acid, vitamins, pectins, microelements. It is worth allocating a place on your personal plot for such a variety of this valuable berry as remontant raspberry. Its name suggests that the fruiting of remontant raspberries lasts for a long period of time, and this harvest is very significant. Today we will deal with the question - remontant raspberries, planting and care in the open field, how to propagate it.

In addition to high yields, remontant raspberries have several other advantages. Her fruiting begins already in the first year of the growing season of a young bush... The tongue does not dare to call it a bush, because it grows almost as tall as a person, and with good care it gives a bountiful harvest.

If we apply a one-year cycle of growing remontant raspberries, cutting them off in late autumn to the level of the soil, then the pests will have nowhere to winter, which means that there is no need to treat the plantings with chemicals, and here it is - an environmentally friendly raspberry berry.

When to plant remontant raspberries: in autumn or spring?

The best time to plant a remontant raspberry would be early October for the middle lane, late October - November for the southern regions... Plants planted in autumn with the arrival of warm spring days quickly start to grow, because they are already well rooted.

If, for some reason, the planting of raspberries is postponed to spring - you need to do it as early as possible, before bud break.

Instructions: how to plant correctly

First you need to decide on the choice of a place for laying the raspberry tree. It is desirable that it is located on the south side of the site.

It is even better if the plantings of raspberries are protected from the north by buildings, or tall plants.

This part of the site should be lit throughout the day, although in the southern regions raspberries tolerate light shading.

IMPORTANT: groundwater should not be closer than 1.2-2 m from the soil surface, raspberries do not tolerate a high level of groundwater.

Laying planting remontant raspberries, you need to make sure that the soil is light, rich in organic matter... If the soil is heavy, then it can be improved by applying organic fertilizers (8-10 kg per sq. M). It can be humus, compost soil.

Most often, the strip planting method is chosen, for this they dig deeply a strip of land, while simultaneously introducing organic matter and mineral fertilizers: superphosphate (60 g per square meter), potassium sulfate (30-40 g). Potash fertilizers can be replaced with ash or 100 g of dry chicken manure.

REFERENCE: the distance between seedlings in a strip is 60-90 cm, between strips - about a meter.

The landing hole should not be deep (25-30 cm), in no case should you add fertilizers to it, so as not to burn the delicate roots... It is poured with water (remember the old saying "Put it in the mud - you will be a prince"?), Lower the raspberry seedling, and press it tightly with soil, trying not to deepen it.

It is good to before planting a seedling, dip the roots in a mess of clay, earth, and mullein... You can temporarily huddle the seedling with soil by 10-15 cm, with autumn planting, hilling is maintained until spring, and with spring planting - for 2 weeks, until the young plant takes root. Another video is a remontant raspberry, planting and care in the open field.

Caring for remontant raspberries

Raspberries do not tolerate heavy, dense soils overgrown with weeds.Also, do not dig up the soil under the bushes in the spring, their root system is very close to the surface.

You can loosen the ground to a depth of no more than 6-8 cm, and it is best to mulch it all over.

A layer of mulch of organic origin (straw, sawdust, bark, plant residues) will save moisture and will serve as an additional fertilizer by overcooking. You can cover the soil with a special film, mulch paper.

Watering raspberries

Regular watering of raspberries is especially necessary due to the shallow bedding of its roots. It is especially needed during the setting and ripening of berries..

A very economical method of irrigation is drip, which allows you to deliver the ox in the right volume directly to the roots of the plant.

Top dressing

Simultaneously with watering, you need to feed the plants, because the consumption of nutrients in remontant raspberries is quite large... They are required for the growth of the bush itself, for laying the crop and for growing offspring.

Top dressing is carried out in April, May and in june, it is good if it is a liquid top dressing:

• Chicken droppings solution 1:20
• Slurry solution 1:10
• A solution of mineral fertilizers - 15 g of nitrate, 40 g of superphosphate per bucket of water. 20 g of potassium sulfate.
• A bucket of solution is enough to fertilize 2-3 bushes, or one running meter of a row. Phosphorus and potassium are added in the fall.

IMPORTANT: for top dressing, a groove is made near the center of the bush, with a depth of 8-10 cm, after fertilization it is closed.

How to properly prune remontant raspberries in the fall

Pruning remontant raspberries it is advisable to carry out in late autumn, cutting off the entire ground part to the soil level. The surface is covered with mulch: sawdust, peat, humus. Such a technique, although it will temporarily delay the appearance of berries on the newly grown shoot for a short while next year, will increase their quality and quantity, as well as prevent pests from overwintering on the shoots.

If you do not cut raspberries in the fall, then the next year's harvest will be half less and much worse in quality.... Summer pruning consists of small pruning of lateral shoots to branch out and increase fruiting. I would like to warn against the mistake made by novice gardeners. You should not trim the top of the remontant raspberry bush, it is needed for better fertilization, and trimming it will not at all increase the number of lateral shoots.

We advise you to read about the features and timing of the autumn pruning of common raspberries.

It is better to lead remontant raspberries in a trellis culture due to the size of its stems and the load of berries during fruiting. A stem is tied to a trellis, consisting of 2-3 rows of wire, in the spring with soft wire or textile material. By the time of fruiting, the raspberry bush looks like a young tree with a powerful trunk and lateral branches, which are also evenly placed on the trellis. Watch the video - remontant raspberries - growing and care, pruning.

Reproduction of remontant raspberries

Every gardener can easily get the required amount of remontant raspberries by learning how to propagate them on their own. This can be done in several ways:

• Root cuttings
• Root offspring
• By dividing the bush.

Repaired raspberries in the first year after planting give few root suckers, their number during the year needs to be regulatedso that they do not weaken the bush, leaving 2-4 strongest.

For breeding, you need to carefully dig out the root offspring, trying to preserve the root system to the maximum. They plant them in prepared, fertilized soil, it's better to do it in Octoberso that the young plant has time to grow the root system. It is spud up for the winter with earth, mulch, laid around a branch, spruce branches for snow retention. After overwintering, such a plant will give a full harvest.

Reproduction of raspberries by root cuttings has its own characteristics:

• In the fall, cuttings (15-20 cm long) are cut, which are stored in wet sand in the basement, on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.
• In spring, cuttings are planted in grooves filled with light structural soil at a distance of 20 cm from each other.
• Above the soil surface, no more than 3-5 cm should be left, then everything is watered abundantly.
• In autumn, young seedlings are placed in a permanent place, adding compost and ash to the soil.

ATTENTION: For better rooting, cuttings can be dipped in "Kornevin" (a stimulator of root formation), and poured with water, to which a few drops of "Epin" or "Zircon" have been added.

The author of this video tells how to get a large harvest of remontant raspberries, we advise you to watch.

When cultivating remontant raspberries, you need to prepare the soil by adding fertilizers to it, choose a sunny area, sheltered from the north side. Fruiting bushes are watered abundantly, fertilized, cut in the fall to soil level.

For propagation of raspberries, you can use root suckers, separated in autumn, or root cuttings, planted in early spring in a nursery. Young plants propagated in this way need to be provided with fertile land and careful care.... Observing a simple technology, you can collect a bountiful harvest of this useful berry.

Raspberry is a common garden shrub. Ordinary varieties begin to bear fruit only in the second year after planting, and yield only one harvest per season.

Repaired raspberries are not very different from other varieties, but they have a significant advantage - they are capable of producing several harvests per year. As a rule, her overall yield is higher. Repaired raspberries are more resistant to diseases and pests common for this culture, therefore, the quality of the fruits is higher. In addition, it is easy to care for.

Another important feature is that almost all remontant varieties are large-fruited.

Unsurprisingly, remontant raspberries are so popular with gardeners. Such varieties are profitable to grow both on personal plots for personal use and on plantations for commercial purposes. We will tell you about the rules of growing, planting and care in this article.

Optimal planting time

Planting remontant raspberries in the open field is carried out both in spring and autumn. The most suitable time is autumn, the period from the end of September to the beginning of October. This is for temperate latitudes.

In more southern regions, planting can be done in late October or early November. In the fall, raspberries take root better, during the winter period they are not exposed to diseases, and in the spring the culture is already ready for intensive growth. However, it can be planted in early spring (before the buds have blossomed).

General advice for planting

Repaired raspberries take root well in light fertile soils. Groundwater should lie at a depth of at least 1 m from the surface of the area where the raspberry tree will be located. Repaired varieties require more light and moisture than regular raspberries.

The plant also needs a lot of heat. If the raspberries are located in the shade, then the ripening time will be postponed, and the harvest will not be plentiful. The area for the raspberry tree should be protected from strong winds (it is better to plant shrubs along the fence, wall of a house or other building).

Soil preparation

Before planting remontant raspberries in the open field, you should pay attention to the characteristics and type of soil. The most suitable type of soil is loam (soil containing clay and significant amounts of sand). The acidity index should be in the range of 5.8-6.7 pH.

If the soil is too acidic, then it is neutralized with dolomite, ground limestone or marl. Raspberries develop well if mustard or rye are poured into the ground 1.5 months before planting. It is not recommended to plant this crop in an area where tomatoes, potatoes or peppers were growing. They deplete the soil, pulling out all the nutrients and trace elements from it.

Step-by-step planting instructions

In the spring

"Prepare the sleigh in the summer, and the cart in the winter." When planting remontant raspberries in spring, the soil must be prepared in the fall. The site is cleared of weeds, the earth is dug up. At the same time, the soil should be fertilized. For each square meter of the plot, it is necessary to add about 2 buckets of humus, a glass of superphosphate and potassium sulphide (instead of them, you can take 200-300 g of complex mineral dressings), the soil is carefully dug up.

An important stage is the selection of a seedling. The plant must have a well-developed root system. The thickness of the stem at the base should be at least 5 mm, and the optimal shoot height should be no more than 20-25 cm. It is easy to check the viability of the seedling.

Before buying, lightly pry the bark of the young shoot. The stem should be greenish. The seedling buds should not be dry. If the root system is dry, then before planting, the seedling should be immersed in water with a growth stimulator for a day. This measure is guaranteed to increase the survival rate of remontant raspberries in the open field.

Next, the landing pits are prepared. Their depth should be about 40-50 cm. The distance between the holes in a row should be about 70 cm, and a distance of one and a half meters or more should be kept between the rows. Immediately before planting, the roots can be dipped in a solution of clay, black soil and mullein. In no case should mineral fertilizers be applied to the pit, so as not to burn the young sensitive raspberry roots.

After that, a seedling is installed, straightening the roots. The planting hole is filled with soil in such a way that the root collar is at the level of the surface of the site.

It should be noted that on sandy soils, the root collar can be at a depth of up to 4 cm. After compaction of the earth, watering is carried out. Pour about 5 liters of water under each bush. After being absorbed, the raspberries are mulched with sawdust, straw, bark or plant residues.

In autumn

As already mentioned, the best time to plant remontant raspberries is autumn. When planting in autumn, the soil is prepared in the spring - it is dug up, while fertilizing it. In autumn, raspberries are planted according to the same algorithm as in spring.

Care

In the spring

Measures for the care of remontant raspberries begin immediately after wintering, from the first days of March, while the ground is still frozen. At this time, complex mineral fertilizers are introduced into the soil.

Sanitary pruning of shrubs is carried out in mid-April. Dried or damaged shoots are removed and healthy stems are pruned to the first healthy bud. If you suspect a fungal disease, the bushes are treated with a 1% solution of ferrous sulfate. If there are no signs of the disease, then prophylactic treatment is carried out in early May.

In the spring, remontant raspberries are fertilized with complex mineral fertilizers, adding growth stimulants to them. The end of May is marked by preventive pest control. Any biological insecticide is suitable for these purposes.

It is necessary to loosen the soil around the bushes, remove weeds and water every week. Repaired raspberries do not tolerate soil compaction. Loosening should begin in early spring. This procedure is carried out up to 4-6 times per season. The row spacing is loosened to a depth of 10-15 cm, and the ground around the bushes - by 5-8 cm.

Summer

Summer care involves regular watering and loosening of the soil. Water the bush weekly. Tall varieties of remontant raspberries must be tied up during this period. For these purposes, you can use the trellis method, or you can use the peg method.

In the first case, pillars are installed along the planting (approximately every 3 m) and a wire is pulled between them at different levels in two or three rows (at a height of 70, 120 and 180 cm), to which raspberry shoots are tied. If the plantings are single, then separate pegs are used for the garter, which are driven into the ground near each bush.

In the summer, the fruits of the remontant raspberry ripen. Treatment with pesticides from pests and diseases is prohibited - the berries will absorb toxic substances. Intense solar radiation is also harmful for berries. Therefore, during the period of active sun, it is advisable to cover the bushes with a special net.

In autumn

Repaired raspberries are known to bear fruit before the first frost. Autumn care consists in preparing the plant for the winter period. After harvesting, shoots that have borne fruit in the current season are pruned at ground level. In the first year after planting, stems with a height of 20-25 cm are left. Full pruning is carried out only by the second year.

Next, the raspberries are cleaned from plant residues and mulch. It is advisable to burn them, because they may contain pests or pathogens. After that, raspberries are watered for winter. In late autumn, the last loosening and digging of the soil is carried out, after which the soil is mulched with rotted manure or humus (layer thickness - 10 cm).

As a rule, remontant varieties are frost-resistant, and they do not need shelter for the winter. But if severe frosts are coming, then the raspberry tree should be covered with a layer of hay or straw. Uncut bushes must be tied up, bent to the ground and covered with dry foliage.

Care procedures

Watering

Repaired raspberries need regular watering. It is necessary to moisten the soil every week. During dry periods, raspberries are watered more often. The ground under the bushes should always be slightly damp.

Watering is especially important before flowering, during active foliage growth and during the ripening period of berries. The soil should be moistened to a depth of 25-35 cm. Before the winter period, the soil is saturated with moisture, making abundant watering.

The moisture level of the soil should be closely monitored. An excess of moisture affects remontant raspberries even more than a lack of it. Air does not flow to the roots through wet soil, the development of the plant slows down. Shrubs are not watered with cold water. First, it should be infused in the open air. If the raspberry tree is covered with mulch, then the amount of watering is significantly reduced.

Top dressing

Cultivation of remontant raspberries is not complete without top dressing. Due to the abundant fruiting, remontant varieties use a large amount of nutrients, which are spent on the growth of the shrub and the formation of the crop.

High-quality top dressing of the soil before planting should be enough for three years. From the third year, it is already necessary to apply fertilizers.

Raspberries respond well to organics. At the beginning of the growing season, mullein is introduced into the soil, mixed with water in a ratio of 1:10. Poultry droppings diluted 1:20 in water can be used instead. Organic fertilizers are applied 2-3 times per season. Per square meter of land, 3 to 5 liters of liquid mixture is required. Such dressings will saturate the soil with the necessary components for the development of raspberries.

The plant also needs mineral supplements. In particular, remontant raspberries need potash fertilizers. Without potassium, the leaves become smaller, the edges turn brown, the tissues around the veins die off. The plant also needs phosphorus. Without this element, the stems acquire a purple hue, become lethargic and may even die off.

The lack of potassium is replenished with potassium magnesium or potassium sulfate. It is important that there is no chlorine in potash fertilizers. You can fill the lack of phosphorus with superphosphate. For each square meter of soil, it is recommended to add 50-70 g of superphosphate, 20-40 g of potassium sulfate and about 30 g of urea. These substances can be replaced with one complete complex fertilizer (for example, Nitroammophos), which is applied in the spring (60-100 g per square meter).

Repaired raspberries are sensitive to nitrogen deficiency. Nitrogen-containing substances are introduced into the soil in early spring, because in the fall they can extend the growing season of the plant, preventing preparation for wintering.In the absence of mulch, it is advisable to scatter humus every two years under the bushes (5-6 kg per square meter).

Pruning

In the spring, they start sanitary pruning. The shrub is carefully examined. After hibernation, uncircumcised shoots may develop cracks or dry patches.

Such stems are pruned to the first healthy bud. The tops of viable shoots are not touched - pruning them can delay the ripening of fruits and harm the future harvest. These procedures are carried out exclusively during the period of swelling of the kidneys. During this period, it is easy to recognize healthy and damaged kidneys.

If the repair variety in your area gives a lot of root growth, then remove it without hesitation. Only 10-15 shoots are left per square meter, of which one half is replacement shoots, and the other is two-year-old fruiting stems.

At the end of the fruiting period, all shoots of remontant raspberries are cut at ground level (only 3 cm above the surface are left). These varieties are vigorous. Next year the raspberries will grow back, yielding the same harvest. This procedure will protect the plant from diseases and pests in the winter. There is also another approach.

Only the tops of the stems are cut off. This allows you to stretch the fruiting period in the next season, because the berries will ripen not only on annual, but also on two-year shoots.

Reproduction

Root offspring

Reproduction of remontant raspberries using root suckers is not always possible, because many varieties practically do not form root shoots. The method consists in digging out root processes and transplanting them to another place.

The largest amount of material for propagation is given by bushes at the age of 4-5 years. When the processes have reached a height of 7-10 cm, they are dug up and planted. They are shaded from the sun and watered regularly. After two weeks, the offspring take root, they no longer need protection from the sun. By the fall, they get good seedlings, which are planted in a permanent place.

Root cuttings

After the autumn harvest, the root of the plant is dug up, a root with a diameter of at least 2 cm is selected and divided into pieces 10-12 cm long.They are planted on a separate bed, the depth of the holes should be from 6 to 8 cm.In the spring, they will sprout, which regularly watered, mulched and fed. And by autumn they will be ready for transplantation to a permanent place.

Green cuttings

Green cuttings are harvested in late spring. For these purposes, annual stems are suitable, which have separated from the mother bush with a small root. They are dug up, then cut off at a height of 4-5 cm (the shoot should have a leaf rosette) and planted in a greenhouse (in a mixture of river sand and peat).

The stalk is intensively watered, fed and protected from diseases, after successful rooting, the greenhouse is regularly ventilated. You can also dip the cuttings into a growth promoter solution. This will increase the survival rate. After successful rooting, they are transplanted to a permanent place.

Which remontant raspberry variety should you choose?

Today there are a large number of varieties of remontant raspberries. Because of this, the choice is somewhat difficult.

Here's a quick reference to help the gardener:

• early varieties: Hercules, Eurasia, Diamond;
• late varieties: Heritage, Zyugana, Erica;
• large-fruited varieties: Cap of Monomakh, Golden Autumn, Bryansk Divo;
• varieties with the best taste of berries: Apricot, Orange Miracle, Firebird;
• high-yield varieties: Atlant, Eurasia, Indian Summer.

And this is just a small list of varieties of remontant raspberries. Everyone can choose a variety for themselves, depending on individual preferences. When choosing raspberries, also pay attention to the timing of fruiting and the preferred growing region. Have a good harvest!

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.

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.

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 divided 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 useful 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 kinds 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. Chopped 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 strengthen raspberries during the winter by consuming excessive amounts of water and nutrients from the soil and 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 the reproduction of 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.
