Pruning strawberries is the key to a good harvest next year
The strawberry season is long over, but it must be remembered that when preparing a crop for winter, you should pay attention to pruning. Such a procedure in horticulture is quite significant, since it allows you to preserve the culture and improve its fertility. Sometimes, you can hear that there are strawberry shoots, both female and male. Accordingly, a different way of cutting them is needed. However, this is a myth that should not be followed.
So when to prune strawberries and how to do it right?
- Let's designate the terms of summing up this procedure. This is mainly autumn, that is, the coming season. At this time, it is worth pruning with extreme caution, because excessive leaf removal can leave strawberries unprotected in winter. Therefore, the most successful time of the year in which strawberries should be pruned is spring. So, by cutting strawberries in early spring, namely in March, there is every chance of a rich harvest in May-June. By this time, the bushes will release new leaves.
- It is important to indicate that the mustache and leaves of this plant must be cut off, and not tried to be torn off. They are very durable and can damage the bush.
With the help of scissors, it is necessary to remove every doubtful leaf or mustache that is on the bush. The first sockets are used to plant strawberries throughout the land. This must be done before the flowering of the culture itself, that is, in early spring. If dried or damaged leaves appear, then they must be removed immediately so as not to transfer the disease to the entire bush or other bushes.
In the case of intense flowering in the spring, flowers should also be trimmed moderately. After completing the removal, you must thoroughly clean the bushes with water.
