Rarely does a summer resident refuse raspberries if this bush has deigned to grow on the plot.

A rich harvest almost every year adds strength to the gardener, who does everything possible for its growth.

Unfortunately, this bush can be called an aggressor due to its gradual and persistent desire to fill the entire area.

Let's pay attention to the opinion of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.

What are the difficulties with raspberries?

The difficulty lies in the advantage of this bush - it is extremely fruitful. During the season, the bush can produce up to 5 root shoots.

Young bushes are just itching to crawl out of their designated area into flower beds and garden beds.

If you simply remove the shoots, this will give a temporary result - new shoots will soon grow from the roots.

It is also important not to allow the mother bush to weaken, which will lead to a loss of yield in the long term.
