    Step by step update of the raspberry

    Summer raspberry bushes bear fruit well in one place for 5-7 years, and then the berries become smaller, the yield decreases. You can, of course, transplant the raspberry tree to a new place. But we have a small area. I was advised another way. Raspberries grow new shoots next to the old rhizome by autumn. After collecting the last berries, you need to remove the old bush, do not touch the shoots and thoroughly dig up the vacant place. So I did, and I also brought in wood ash for digging (0,5 liters per 1 square meter). In the next season, young shoots were already bearing fruit. And after another 2-3 years, and from these bushes in the same way, he left only new shoots that grew away from the three-year-old rhizomes, which he dug.

    So, in 5 years, a row of raspberries "stepped over" almost 1 m from the fence to the garden path - this is enough for the raspberry tree to be completely renewed. Now I plan to "move" the raspberries back to the fence, leaving the young growth from the old bushes in the opposite direction from the path.

    Is it possible to plant cherries on a site where raspberries grew for a long time (plants were sick)?
    Or is it better to place raspberry bushes there again?

      - After uprooting the old raspberry, be sure to dig the soil there to free the site from rhizomes that can sprout next year. Still plant new raspberry seedlings elsewhere. Contaminated soil, as well as plant debris, roots and parts of diseased plants remaining in the soil can be a source of diseases (including viral ones that are incurable). The only option to deal with them is prevention (first of all, compliance with crop rotation).

      Planting cherries instead of raspberries is also not worth it, because raspberries have depleted the ground.

    For the second year, there are a lot of ovaries on raspberries of the Heracles variety, but the berries grow scanty, redden and dry. Fading and shoots. Why is that? From lack of water?

      - If your region often has protracted dry periods, it is possible that the raspberry tree suffers from a moisture deficit. However, the problem may be more serious: the symptoms you described are similar to signs of root rot disease (most likely, fusarium wilt).
      Shoots affected by this fungal disease will fade, turn brown, shorten, look oppressed, or completely die. The disease is not treated. To some extent, the development of the problem can be restrained by treatments - for example, Fitosporin-M, Alirin-B, Spo-robacterin (according to the instructions). But it is better to uproot sick bushes and burn. For the future: use only healthy planting material for planting. Do not plant raspberries next to plants that accumulate bacteria of this species (potatoes, strawberries, tomatoes). Promptly treat raspberries for diseases and pests, immediately cut out all diseased, damaged, dried shoots.

    To repair the raspberry as early as possible gave the first harvest, for it in the spring should be well pouhazhivat. When the snow has almost come down, we must scrap its remains from the roots of plants, remove the insulation from the soil, laid out in the fall, and cover the soil with a black film. Then the earth will warm up more quickly, and you'll get the berries a little earlier than usual.
