Conditions for landing

The height of the structure is approximately at the level of an outstretched arm so that it is convenient to harvest.
Summer care: end of June – early July

Removing weak lateral shoots. All horizontal processes in the lower part of the bush are shortened up to 50 cm. This contributes to the formation of powerful shoots of replacement and improves air circulation in the bush.
Fertaining fertilizers. It is important to introduce phosphorus-potassium compounds in order to support the plant during fruiting.
Processing from pests. Most often, culture suffers from ticks and raspberry flies. For protection, insect-acaricidal drugs are used before flowering and immediately after its end.
Garter of shoots
