Features of the cultivation of remontant raspberries in the Urals
In the Urals, the usual raspberry varieties freeze out under the effect of frost, which is what causes this crop to be unprofitable. Therefore, we must make a choice in favor of the winter-hardy and remontant options.
Remontrance is the ability for continuous fruiting, such varieties immediately after the return of the main crop again throw out inflorescences, bloom and bear fruit.
The shoots of the repair raspberry are resistant to wilting, do not need to be tied to the trellis and supports. It is enough to mow shoots in the fall, and then remove them from the site to prevent the development of diseases and wintering pests on the stems.
But if after cutting the stumps are left, and the usual raspberry plantings are located nearby, such pruning will not guarantee against damage by pests and fungi. Therefore, when caring for the remontant raspberry, it is not necessary to spend money on chemical treatments, but only to devote time to proper, simple agrotechnology. In the summer, these varieties will give an environmentally friendly crop.
