Raspberry Vera

Raspberry Vera is a high-yielding variety that attracts the attention of many gardeners. It is worth considering in more detail the features of the culture, as well as the rules for growing a bush.

Raspberry Vera is an early ripening variety that brings a large amount of harvest. The berry bushes grow low, the maximum height is 150 cm. The plant does not tolerate drought well and requires shelter in frosts.

A semi-spreading bush forms by the third period. The first flowers of future fruits appear in mid-June, the berries ripen closer to mid-July. The peduncle is strong, the separation is dry.

Vera is a consistently fruitful variety. At the same time, in rainy years, the productivity of the bush increases several times. On average, it will be possible to collect from 1.6 to 3 kg of fruits from raspberries per season.

The key feature of the variety is its delicious berries. The fruits are sweet and juicy with a honey aroma. An interesting fact: most gardeners chose Vera bushes for growing only because of the taste of the plant's berries.

To get a high yield from a bush, you need not only to choose a good variety, but also to carefully approach the technology of growing a crop. Features of culture cultivation.

1. Raspberry Vera needs thorough fertilization of the soil before planting. Only in this way will the plant have enough strength to start growing.

2. When choosing fertilizers, preference should be given to organics.

3. In the summer, it is recommended to add a hydrogel to the well in order to reduce the amount of watering by reducing the rate of moisture evaporation.

In addition, experienced gardeners are advised to regularly mulch the soil, saturating it with oxygen.

Raspberry Vera prefers lighted and ventilated areas. Choosing the right place will have a good effect on crop yields. Landing rules:

1. the distance between shoots in a row should be at least 60-70 cm;

2. the distance between the rows should be 1.5 m;

3. 2 plants can be planted in one hole;

4. the purchased planting material must be cut by 25-30 cm before deepening into the soil.

Before planting bushes, it is recommended to fertilize the soil with organic matter.

The Vera variety belongs to non-repaired crops, therefore, only those shoots that are 2 years old or more bear fruit. When the berry ripening season is over, it is necessary to cut off the stem that has coped with the task. Instead, a new shoot will grow, and large berries will appear on it in a year.

If you approach the pruning of raspberries correctly, you will be able to significantly increase the volume of the crop. It is also recommended to prune tall bushes. In such plants, the crown is cut by 3 cm, and after a while, the branches that have grown by 30 cm are shortened.

The first fertilizers must be applied even before the seedlings are in the ground. The soil is first saturated with organic matter, which increases the chances of crop survival.

Then a few more dressings are carried out.

1. At the beginning of flowering. They also use organic matter and mulch the soil. As a fertilizer, you can take a mash, mixed from fresh manure and 10 liters of water.

2. After harvest. Top dressing should also be organic to saturate the bush with new strength.

3. Before freezing. Fertilizers will help your crop survive the winter.

It is recommended to water Vera actively during the period of intensive growth. Then raspberries will delight you with a large number of juicy fruits. And also in the process of growing a bush, you should pay attention to loosening the soil and removing weeds.

Raspberry Vera does not tolerate cold weather. Therefore, you need to take care of the safety of the shrub.

1. Before the onset of frost, it is necessary to perform water-charging irrigation. The portion of water should be doubled. If autumn is rainy, watering may not be increased.

2. At the end of the season, cut dry, damaged and weak shoots, as well as stems that have borne fruit this year.

3. Before the temperature drops, it is necessary to apply phosphorus-potassium fertilizers to the soil.

4. To prevent raspberries from freezing, they should be bent to the ground, pinned to the bushes and covered with non-woven and breathable material.

The last point is recommended by gardeners towards the end of September. And also in the autumn, you need to remove the remaining dried leaves from the shoots.

An easy way to reproduce is to use offspring. They form on the roots of a plant or develop from adventitious buds. New shrubs are usually planted in mid-September. Gardeners attribute this decision to sufficient time to strengthen the strength of culture. Planting raspberries in the spring will lead to the rapid death of the bush.
