Summer residents do not hide their joy when they see large raspberries, but jubilation gives way to disappointment when it is time to taste the harvest.
There are massive berries lying on the palm, but they have almost no taste. Even the beloved aroma of raspberries has disappeared somewhere.
This happens for two reasons. To understand why the berries are tasteless, you need to look closely at the bush.
Viral disease
Usually, uneven coloring appears on the foliage, which indicates a serious illness of the plant. The berries are not only tasteless, but also crumble into grains.
In this case, there is only one way out - dig up the bush and plant a new plant in another place.
Incorrect watering
If the bush looks good, there are no visible signs of disease, then the problem is in too much watering. This happens because of one misconception of summer residents.
Raspberries are indeed a moisture-loving crop, but they cannot be compared to rice. You should not flood the raspberry patch by throwing a hose in there.
The soil under the raspberries should be moist, but flooding is detrimental to the root system. Several hours of stagnant water can kill the plants.
