A detailed explanation of the planting methods and key technical points for raspberries

The raspberry is a shrub-type fruit tree, relatively common on mountains in many regions, with excellent nutritional value, medicinal value, and edible value, and its seasonal market returns are currently good. Many people want to grow it to get rich, so how should raspberries be planted? Let's take a look.

1. Site selection

To plant raspberries, you first need to know where they are suitable for growing. Raspberries have strong adaptability to soil and extremely strong tolerance to poor soil and drought resistance. You can choose a semi-hillside area with sufficient water sources nearby, or choose a wasteland, which can improve the environment and also obtain good returns. However, to achieve high yields of raspberries, you need to choose a place with loose, fertile soil for planting, so as to ensure that they grow robustly and bear more fruit.

2. Planting time

Raspberry planting does not require too much concern; as long as the local temperature is above zero, they can be planted. Generally, planting is chosen in spring and autumn. The spring planting time is March to April, and the best autumn time is October to November. Spring planting can bear fruit in the same year, but the yield is not high. Autumn planting can mostly bear fruit in the summer of the following year, and after three years it enters the full fruiting period, capable of continuous fruit production for over 30 years. It is planted once and harvested for many years, making it an excellent shrub fruit tree.

3. Propagation methods

The simplest propagation method for planting raspberries is layering propagation. Select a fruit tree with excellent variety, choose its robust, disease-free and pest-free branches, and insert them completely into the soil. When inserting, use a knife to make a ring cut of about one centimeter at the top as the main wound, then bury it in the soil, cover with soil, and water. After about 20 days, this branch will take root and form a new plant. At this time, lower it and separate it from the mother plant, then find another place to plant it.

4. Field management

After planting, weeds should be removed in time to prevent weeds from affecting the growth of young plants. In drought, water should be applied to keep the soil supplied, so as to prevent root development from being hindered. After more than a month, the young plants enter the vigorous growth stage. At this time, topdressing and light should be started. You can choose some decomposed organic fertilizer. This kind of fertilizer is relatively mild, will not burn the roots of young plants, and is easily absorbed by the plant roots. During the fruiting period, topdressing should also be applied once to maintain what is needed for fruit development. After harvest, topdressing should also be applied once to promote the recovery of tree vigor so that it continues to grow and bear fruit.
