Should remontant raspberries be pruned in November: 90% of gardeners are mistaken

Everbearing raspberries, like any other plant, need proper care in order to achieve maximum yield.

One of the important aspects of caring for remontant raspberries is pruning.

First, it is worth understanding what remontant raspberries are. This is a variety of raspberries that differs from the usual one in that it produces two harvests: the first in July-August, and the second in September-October.

Such raspberries are considered more resistant to diseases and frosts than ordinary raspberries, reminds the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.

Proper pruning is one of the important elements of caring for remontant raspberries.

The purpose of pruning is to remove old, diseased or damaged branches and promote the growth of new, healthy shoots that will produce next year's crop.

But let's get back to the question of whether it is worth cutting it in November. The answer is - it depends on the specific situation.

If your raspberries survive the winter well and do not require additional shelter, you can prune them in November.

In this case, it is necessary to remove all shoots after the second harvest, as well as weak, damaged and small branches.

The main thing is not to overdo it, as remontant raspberries should remain strong and healthy.

If your raspberries don't survive the winter very well, it's best to prune them in the spring.

In this case, you can remove only the damaged and old branches, but leave the shoots from the second harvest until spring, when they will be cut back to a healthy bud.

This will allow your raspberries to better survive the winter and produce a new harvest next year.

In any case, pruning is an important part of plant care.

A properly performed process will help maintain the blooming appearance and productivity of your raspberries.

Remember that each plant is individual, and before pruning it is worth studying the characteristics of your vegetation, if necessary, consult with experienced gardeners.
