Increases productivity in times
Once upon a time, I heard that the raspberry can be cut twice or, as they say, the double cropping. Since then, every year, taking advantage of such a reception, I get rich raspberry harvest.
Raspberry canes, me, fruit of up to 3 months in a year - starting in July and ending sentyabrom. A raspberry-something my simple, not remontant. Acceptance of this is so simple that with him without the slightest difficulty to cope any cottager, in the garden or dacha which grows sweet raspberry.
pruning first
In late spring or early summer, cut the young shoots (growing up in this year) is not above 80-110 cm, the minimum and maximum depends on how strong you bush.
Thus shoots grow up and not give side shoots growing from the kidneys, which is located at the base sheet. At the end of July (beginning of August), these side shoots (in the amount of 4-10 pcs.) Grow up to 0.8 meters in length.
I advise you to educate:
Plants that can not be categorically spud.
What crops can not be planted raspberries - crop will not be!
Close to what crops can not be planted onions - harvest will not be.
pruning second
The following year, in the spring, again shorten the side shoots, not much, at least 5 and a maximum of 10 cm, in accordance with their din. Just cut wire when in the fully expanded leaves raspberries. This procedure, seek to increase the number of new shoots that grow along the length of the main stem.
small clarification
Such double cropping, you can apply only in those areas where the raspberry growing sparsely, aisle not less than 2 meters, and between the bushes - 1m. On the bushes leave up to 5 shoots, no longer much different raspberry bushes thickened, and where little space, there is a little light and a lot of diseases and pests.
