Features of caring for Giant raspberries
This variety of raspberries is photophilous. It should be planted in sunny, draft-free places. When planting seedlings in a row, a distance of 70 cm must be observed between them, and at least 1,5 m between rows. This is necessary for the root system to have enough nutrients.
In order for the Giant to produce a high-quality crop, it needs:
- Watering. The root system of raspberries is located close to the surface of the earth, so it should be watered sparingly, but regularly. Otherwise, the berries will be small and dry.
- Pruning. Extra unnecessary shoots are cut off in early spring.
- Top dressing. It is necessary to feed raspberries in spring and autumn. In the spring, she needs nitrogen and mineral fertilizers, and in the fall – organic.
If you follow these steps correctly, then raspberries will delight you with a generous harvest every year.
The wrong place for planting raspberries will cause the plant to bloom later, and the berries will be smaller, paler and more acidic than they should be. Also, the quality of the crop is influenced by: frequent rains, thickening of plantings, lack of fertilizers.
Raspberry “Giant” gives a good harvest only if it is properly and timely taken care of.
