Blackberries from the tops of the shoots - my reviews
REPRODUCTION OF BLACKBERRY TOP SHOOTS
For many years now we have been getting an excellent harvest of blackberries. And we cook compotes, and we cook jam, and we freeze for the winter, and we eat plenty.
A. all because we annually propagate blackberries by rooting the tops of annual shoots, thereby obtaining young powerful bushes.
In early August, we tilt the grown shoots with their tops to the ground and dig them into pre-prepared pits filled with rotted manure and wood ash (0 cups of ash per bucket of manure).
We fill the holes with the prepared mixture and pour warm water. After planting, fill with earth to the surface of the soil.
At the end of September, rooted shoots are cut off from the mother bush and transplanted to a permanent place.
In the spring, when the shoots grow up to 15-20 cm, we make the first pinch, and when up to 30 cm the second.
As a result, highly branched bushes are formed, from which we collect up to 5 kg of delicious juicy berries. Last year's growths also bear fruit, which grow up to 2-5 m per season.
But the most difficult thing when growing blackberries is to cover them for the winter, since laying the shoots on the ground is problematic: they can easily break.
The best way out is a vertical shelter, when the whips are not removed from the supports, but covered with non-woven material, like a blanket. But at the same time we insulate the bottom with sawdust. And when it snows, we sprinkle sawdust on them. With such a shelter, the blackberry hibernates with minor damage.
