Haircut "by zero" remontant raspberries - this is why!
Malinka autumn
Normal raspberry fruits on the shoots of the previous year.
A remontant and last year (in the summer), and new shoots (in the fall, before frost).
If last year's shoots are not cut:
- Remontant raspberries will hurt as well as usual
- It will give a weak first wave of harvest. The second wave can not be, does not have time to mature before frost
- The taste of berries will be mediocre
Because the bush is power. 1 or 2 for the harvest season it is directed, you will agree, there is a difference.
With a load of two crop plants it is difficult to cope with the disease. Last year the sores thrive on overwintered shoots. Disease and bad impact on productivity, and berries taste.
Remontant raspberry advantage in the ability to bear fruit on the new wood. Cutting all the branches under a zero in the spring or autumn you:
- Remove all pests, pathogenic fungi and bacteria,
- Do not fear for your hardiness bushes. In the usual raspberry shoots sometimes freeze.
Better crop in early spring. Winter branches will delay the snow. But if your suburban bus starts to go too late, it is better to err and to trim raspberry remontant "by zero" in the fall. After collecting the last crop.
so
Again, because this is important. How haircut affect the taste? After removing the shoots of the previous year, in the bush there is no flow of forces in the fight against chronic diseases.
One haircut and:
- bush healthy
- The autumn harvest is abundant
- The berries are tasty
Nuance: No more clipping, only one! In the summer do not have to cut the remontant varieties.
And what do you do? Notice that there is one sort, and the taste of berries different?
