How to prune a plant correctly?
First of all, it is worth focusing on mature bushes whose "growth" has exceeded a hundred centimeters. All length that exceeds this figure should be removed.
Then we pay attention to the shoots. If they are not removed, the raspberry patch will become spontaneous. Instead of concentrating on sweet and tasty berries, the raspberry will begin to feed the young shoots. Therefore, they should be removed.
Old branches and those that have lost their attractive appearance should also be removed. If some of the raspberries are affected by diseases, we remove them too.
New small branches should be removed, leaving only large and healthy ones.
