This is a very useful and tasty crop that will definitely not be superfluous.

Therefore, it is worth knowing how to choose the right seedlings, because the quality of the crop itself will depend on this, reminds the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

What is important to pay attention to?

Specialized places for sales instead of spontaneous markets

Sometimes it may seem to us that there is no fundamental difference in where to buy seedlings. However, in a trusted nursery, the risk of buying low-quality planting material is incredibly low.

Polyethylene on the roots

If you notice that the seller has covered the roots of the seedling with polyethylene, then you cannot buy such raspberries. Due to a chemical reaction, the roots could be subject to rotting.

Other important points

The root system of the plant should look healthy and strong. A good seedling should have about three stems. They will be small, but the main thing is that the stems seem strong. The presence of buds will also be a good sign.
