Is this a good percentage, and is this an appropriate method of propagation? Is it possible to take a cutting of my neighbor's raspberries to start my own plants? We are in western SD, Zone 4. Basically, suckers come up from the roots. The root divisions can be cut through with a sharp spade and separated. The root cuttings should be 2 to 6 inches long.
Tie the cuttings in bundles with all the same type ends together. It is important to maintain the correct polarity of the cuttings. Remove from storage after frost in the spring. Space the cuttings about 2 to 3 inches apart in well-prepared garden soil.
The tops of the cuttings proximal ends should be 2 to 3 inches below the soil surface. Keep the new raspberry propagation moist. When I've washed my raspberries before eating, I've found tiny white worms emerge What are these and how do I prevent them? You could be dealing with spotted wing drosophila SWD , a type of invasive fruit fly. Unfortunately, because they are so small, numerous, and reproduce quickly, they can be difficult to manage without resorting to chemicals.
The main way to reduce the numbers of SWD without the use of chemicals is to essentially keep your berry patch tidy. This means regularly removing plant debris, rotted berries, etc. Some of my berries have white areas by the stem, not all, but some, are these harmful Thanks. This is caused by the Sun under hot, dry conditions. The fruit is safe to eat. This is more random discoloration. I have had a healthy autumn-bearing raspberry batch for about 15 years.
Last year, I had far fewer raspberries. In prior years, I could hardly keep up with the picking. This year, I've had almost none.
There are LOTS of berries that looked as if they were developing, but they have all stopped growing, are reddish-brown, and are very firm when I squeeze them. Could it be that they are just old and need to be replaced? I don't see any insects on them, but it could be a disease. Before I replant, I would want at least a good guess as to the disease and whether I can plant a new patch in the same place.
Fifteen years is a pretty good run; 10 years is considered replacement time in some circles, so it is one solution. I have a raspberry patch that is about 6 or 7 years old. They came in thick and covered with berries, bees swarming around. But at harvest this year about half of my raspberries are coming in underdeveloped, only little "rounds" on each berry.
I am wondering if you have any suggestions as to what I can do. That raspberries smelled like roses is something I observed long before I learned they were related, raspberries being In the "rose" family.
Now, strawberries, although also in the rose family, do not smell like roses to me. I guess it has to do with their different Genus: fragaria. To me, strawberries always smelled like dirt! And I love that earthy aroma! In fact, in Germany their name is Erdbeeren, or earth berries. Have you ever heard of a pink lemonade raspberry bush?
I didn't see that mentioned in the list above. They taste just like pink lemonade. I bought it about 4 years ago from Lowes. I live in zone 7. We could never list all of the varieties in any of our recommendation lists; there are just too many! There is a so-named BLUE berry bush but we can find no pink lemonade raspberry. Thanks for sharing! Bad Japanese beetle problem last few years. I want to try netting over the plants or Will this keep my berries from having fruit? Have had raspberry's for 30 years.
The last 3 years the canes look good in fall and have green in spring but the plants bud out very slowly if at all.
Many only have spur buds on lower third. They look like they are trying hard to grow but just cant. Plants on the end tend to be better. Havent seen lesions. Once leaves are on spurs the leaves look good. Any ideas. Is the soil draining well? And are they getting water not drought? Any signs of cane borer: two rows of small punctures about an inch apart at the cane tip? Dose air circulate well around the canes? Brambles are subject to fungi and virus. Maybe take a couple to a local nursery and see if they can identify the problem.
Training raspberries on wires makes them easier to manage. Drive in two upright posts at each end of the row, then stretch strong galvanized wire between them. The posts should be about six feet tall with three horizontal wires for summer-fruiting raspberries, or two wires for less-tall autumn-fruiting types. Use garden string to tie the strongest canes that remain to the wire supports.
Fall-bearing raspberries are even easier to prune — simply cut all the canes back to the ground in late winter. I have 2 rows of healthy raspberries, had just finished taking out the old canes and tied up the still bare fruiting canes. It looks like a machete or animal chomped them off all at the same level, like a deer or beaver or porcupine we have lots of all these animals, but this has never happened before, and none of the canes look eaten and there are no pawprints.
First year canes, called primocanes, have green stems. Second year canes — floricanes — are covered with a thin, brown bark-like sheath. Raspberry bush growth depends on cultivar and environment, but most varieties should be ready for harvest within 16 to 18 months after the initial planting. Bushes planted in U. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 8 to 10 can tolerate some shade, but they thrive in full sunlight and well-draining soil with pH of 5.
Hot, dry, windy weather can damage fruiting canes. Raspberry primocanes may grow 8 or 9 feet high during the spring and summer. Red raspberries are usually ripe within four to six weeks from the start of the growing season. Yellow raspberry bushes grow similarly to red varieties but they bear less fruit. Summer-bearing purple raspberries are hybrids of black and red fruited cultivars.
If the soil is heavy and damp, make a 7cm 3in high ridge and plant into it, or plant in raised beds. Use the soil mark on the stem as a guide. After planting, cover the soil with a 7. Avoid alkaline mushroom compost or overly rich farmyard manure, which can burn the new shoots. Cut the stems, or canes, down to 25cm 10in tall after planting. Raspberries are usually planted in rows and supported by a system of posts and horizontal wires. The supports should be put in place at planting time.
This system of posts and horizontal wires is ideal for summer-fruiting raspberries in small gardens:. Find out more about growing fruit in pots. Birds, especially pigeons, can cause an array of problems including eating seedlings, buds, leaves, fruit and vegetables. Protect the plants from birds by covering them with netting or fleece. Scarecrows and bird-scaring mechanisms work for a while, but the most reliable method of protection is to cover plants with horticultural fleece or mesh.
This is the main problem on raspberries. Dry patches develop at the stalk-end in midsummer, and often you will find a small white maggot inside the fruit. You can pick off the infected fruit, but this will not stop the spread. Grow autumn fruiting plants which are less affected. Cane blight is a serious fungal disease in raspberries. During summer, leaves on fruiting canes wither and the bases of the canes turn dark brown, and the bark may split.
The wood becomes very brittle so that the canes snap off easily at the base. Weak and plants under stress are more susceptible to cane blight, so make sure raspberries are well watered and mulch with well-rotted manure around the base to prevent drying out. When planting, make sure canes are well-spaced so that they have good air circulation.
Where the disease develops, cut out and dispose of any affected canes. Cut back to below soil level and disinfect the secateurs between cuts. This is a fungal disease causing purple patches on canes. It rarely kills raspberries, but can reduce yield severely by weakening the canes and killing buds.
Avoid overcrowding by thinning out any young canes that are not required. This should be done as early in the spring as possible. If spur blight develops, cut out and dispose of badly affected canes.
Harvest regularly, to get fruits at the peak of ripeness, when richly coloured, plump and easy to pull off. Eat them fresh, freeze them or make into preserves.
