When to prune raspberriesRaspberries are generally pruned in April and May, not too late. The temperature is high in spring and the branches grow fast. If you prune too late, the nutrients will be consumed due to too many branches and leaves. Raspberries are suitable for cuttings in spring. In autumn, cut off branches that have grown to 40 cm in height and store them. Wait until spring for cuttings, and they will soon take root and sprout. Raspberry pruningRaspberry pruning is done in early June when the branches extend to 30-40 cm. The pruning principle is to remove the weak and keep the strong. Each clump should retain 11-14 strong branches. The closer the pruning cut is to the ground, the better. At the same time, avoid damaging the retained branches. Raspberry Pruning TipsThere are many different ways to prune raspberries. Cutting off part of the branches is called shorting. Heavy pruning can promote strong branches, medium pruning can leave moderate branches, and light pruning can leave more short branches. Shortening, also known as tipping, is the shortening of the tips of the basal branches of the current year after the fruiting plants are pruned off. Pruning raspberries can promote the full lignification of the branches and the differentiation of flower buds. Raspberry pruning floweringRaspberries usually bloom in March. Before that, you need to cut off the extra branches and diseased branches in time to reduce the consumption of nutrients and water, making its flowers bigger and brighter. Raspberry pruning resultsGenerally speaking, raspberry stocks can be toppled to produce extra branches, which can greatly increase the number of fruits produced by the plant and improve the quality of the fruit. Raspberry pruning tipsAfter the raspberry harvest is completed in mid-to-late August, the fruit plants should be removed in time, and attention should be paid to protecting the new branches of the year. The pruning position should not be higher than 5 cm from the ground. |
