Why do you need to cut the raspberries in the fall?

Leave raspberry bushes on unattended - a sure way to turn a garden plot in impassable jungle. Harvest in this case (and in quantity and quality) obviously leaves much to be desired... But timely pruning will make planting yields, healthy and well-groomed in appearance!

And now I move on from the words "to the case." Before you start to care for raspberries, I read a lot of information about the pruning. I found at least 5 reasons why you need it bushes:

1. Raspberry garden - plant with a two-year development cycle. In the first year twigs do not bring fruit. In the second year of life escape gives the best harvest, then with useless gardening point of view. Of course, some will harvest them, but very poor. The main task - to get rid of unnecessary ballast!

2. Old branches that do not bring us benefits, pulled out of the ground nutrients. Agree, it would be better to put them on a young power has great potential! Especially, he needs to stock up on strength and gain strength before the cold winter.

3. During the summer, from the rhizome of raspberries appeared young shoots. It also takes away the nutrients.

4. The thickened crop produce less berries. They get small and not as tasty as they could, because due to lack of sunlight is bad ripen!

5. Thick bush poorly ventilated and illuminated. An ideal environment for bacteria and fungi! Therefore, if you want to keep healthy raspberry bushes, decimates it annually.

By the way, if unchecked, raspberry fast "running wild", turns into a jungle and aggressively spreads over the site. After appendages plant roots can spread under the ground within a radius of 3 meters.

Why did the fall and when?

I like the autumn crop of raspberries. For two reasons. At first, Plants have time to stock up on strength and perezimuet patients without shoots. SecondlySo the spring will begin immediately to build up new shoots. Interesting results are obtained by the so-called "double cropping" raspberry Sobolev (spring and autumn), about which I will write more on our channel.

When it cut the raspberries? As soon as possible after fruiting! In regions with southern climate, the procedure may be postponed until October. But in any case, better hurry. Maximum raspberries pruned so that before the frost remains no more than 2 weeks.

What we need to trim

Soon item will be released on our channel on how to correct before the winter crop cherries and plums. Subscribe to the "Secrets of Horticulture" not to miss this and other interesting materials!

Nothing supernatural. Take good Edged garden pruner. Disinfect his blade so as not to bring the infection in the tissue of the plant. As I wrote on the channel, I always use inexpensive means of pharmacies - Chlorhexidine. By the way, after trimming remote branches, shoots and leaves of the plants are best to burn. You never know what pathogens and larvae of pests can be stored in them? Take care of the health of your garden!

The correct sequence of autumn raspberries action for the recovery of the bush

Before proceeding to the description of the process, mention 3 important nuance in the autumn pruning raspberries:

1. On every bush should be left 7-10 sprouts - healthy and strong. Young shoots, which hardly survive frost, we do not need!

2. We need to try to trim raspberry so that the branches looked outside, and not inside the bush.

3. Between the plants should be at least 60 cm, so as not to create excessive thickness. If raspberries grown due to the growth of shoots from the roots, you will have to arm themselves more and ax.

Perennial shoots are cut at the base, so as not to remain hemp. I do not crop young stems in autumn this year. According to the method Sobolev, it is better to make the spring. In any case, the threads should be no longer than 1.5 m.

And now about how to cut the raspberries in the fall:

1. Inspect raspberries and determine what should be ruthlessly deleted.

2. Cut out all diseased branches at the root.

3. Remove broken, weak and badly stretched-out branches.

4. Cut the young shoots from the roots. It is unlikely to spend the winter, and spring will grow a new one.

5. Finally, cut last year's shoots. They are easily distinguished by the dark color and hard, often cracked, crust.
