What to do with remontant raspberries before and after frost: detailed instructions
Everbearing raspberries are capable of bringing their owner many tasty berries.
However, one can only count on a bountiful harvest if the raspberries are properly cared for, reminds the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Today we will talk about what to do with raspberries before and after the arrival of sub-zero temperatures.
So, if you know that frost is just around the corner, and there are still unripe berries on the bushes, the shoots with unripe fruits should be cut off and taken home.
At home, place the branches in a jar filled with water - in these conditions the berries will ripen, and you will collect the last harvest.
But after the thermometer outside shows “minus”, the shoots of the remontant raspberry will have to be completely cut out.
Make cuts right at the soil surface, without leaving stumps.
The final touch is mulching with humus or compost. After this, you can be sure that the remontant raspberry will survive the winter without problems.
