The question that many summer residents are not interested in at all, regarding the joint planting of yellow and red raspberries together, should be resolved.
There is some difference between these cultures. And it is not just a matter of taste. Let us tell you more.
There are many varieties of yellow raspberries. Popular ones are "Amber", "Yellow Giant", "Beglyanka", etc., there are also early and late varieties. And if we talk about hybrid varieties, these are bushes that grow up to 1.5 m in height. In addition, they are more lush and require more free space.
Care
If for red raspberries it is enough to add regular mullein, then yellow raspberries will also require an addition of ash. In addition, for the winter, yellow varieties are bent to the ground and covered.
Joint planting
Now here's the main thing. Planting two different varieties in one area, that is, in close proximity, is not welcome. The reason is not only pollination and care. The color of the berries will not change, but the varietal characteristics of both bushes will already be violated.
But at the same time, some gardeners claim that planting different varieties of raspberries in one area promotes cross-pollination, which increases the resistance of the bushes to bad weather and even increases the yield and improves the quality of the berries.
This is a controversial point, but given the difference in care, appearance and taste of the berries, experienced gardeners keep yellow varieties away.
