Raspberries produce poor yields in dry areas, but tolerate shade well.

The crop has soil requirements. Fertile light loams or well-moistened sandy loams are ideal for raspberries.

Raspberry is a bush with a strong rhizome that produces shoots every year. You need to find suitable neighbors for the plant.

The bushes are generally unpretentious, but they have one serious biological enemy.

If the raspberries are healthy, there are no pests, watering is regular, fertilizers are applied, but there is no harvest, then it is time to take a closer look at the plant’s neighbors.

The bush does not like the microclimate that the apple tree creates around itself.

If the raspberry is capricious and does not give a normal harvest, then most likely the problem is in the apple tree growing nearby. You need to plant them, and then things with the raspberry should go uphill.

Often, an apple tree also produces a poor harvest if there are bushes with red aromatic berries nearby. In nature, these plants do not get along, so the summer resident's task is to plan the plot in such a way that the tree and bush grow at a considerable distance from each other.
