How to cut the raspberries in the fall to enjoy plenty of summer berries

Pruning raspberries in autumn - a measure which will help not only to increase the quantitative yield. Berries on the bush will be processed is larger and sweeter than those collected from the landings, untouched by shears.

Let's compare

That's what happens with a raspberry, which do not cut autumn.

Old shoots, which will no longer bear fruit, creating extra shade and do not allow air to move normally among the shoots and leaves.

Consequently, not all the leaves, flowers and berries get enough to "juicy" aging of the world. A raspberry - bushes well, is very light.

Important! Old branches should be burned, to destroy all pests and carriers of infections. In theory, they can sit on any bush! So why leave the infection in the garden?

The second danger - Razguliay pests, bacterial and fungal infections. High humidity inside raspberry (again, due to lack of sunlight and ventilation) creates ideal almost greenhouse environment for all kinds of pathogenic microorganisms and parasites. And the gardener, instead of anticipation of the harvest, scratching their heads over how to handle the bush on the disease and do not harm the ecology of berries.

And, as you know, autumn pruning will help to avoid such misfortunes and leave only grower in the win. In the raspberry bushes come with shears for 2-3 weeks before the onset of frost stable.

The work plan:

• Although the Internet are advised to cut the young shoots, which looks sickly, I do not recommend it. You never know who perezimuet and who lost. And from zachuhannoy escape can grow good fruit-bearing branches. This cleansing is best done in the spring.
• Without a doubt, the first thing cut all the dry and sore. Unnecessary, and sometimes even dangerous ballast for plants.
• All the old shoots, which are easily recognizable by the brown color is removed directly under the root. Hemp leave unnecessary. Any use of these branches will not bring, but will just stand in the garden as weeds.
