Raspberry care in autumn - what is to be done now?
So that the raspberries will bear many delicious fruits next year, you should do some work in the autumn. In addition to pruning and clearing, now is the best time to set new raspberry plants.
Maintenance work in autumn
Autumn raspberry care in autumn
Cut off the autumn raspberries to the ground after harvest, all rods. They carry on the year-old rods that expire next year.
Place two trimmed rods on the ground for each meter of raspberry row. This will help the beneficial insects in the garden survive in winter.
Summer raspberry care in autumn
Summer raspberries are cut back immediately after harvest in summer. As they produce fruit on the biennial rods, you must not cut off the remaining shoots in the fall.
Light up overgrown plants, remove dead and sickly shoots. Very long rods you can easily cut something.
Put new raspberry plants
Autumn is the ideal season to set new raspberry bushes.
Cut off root cuttings from the roots of your shrubs and create a new raspberry row or raspberry hedge.
Put the new plants in well-loosened soil in a sunny, airy location. You can already harvest the first new autumn raspberry plants next year.
Do raspberries need winter protection?
Raspberries are hardy. They hibernate and can withstand very low temperatures.
However, raspberries, firs, foliage or other insulating materials should protect you from frost with new raspberry rows.
Raspberries in the pot need a little winter protection, because the earth in the bucket freezes very much faster. Place bubble wrap around the pot and place it in a safe place.
Tips & Tricks
Even though many composts have been made in the autumn, do not fertilize your raspberries any more. The roots need a rest. An additional supply of nutrients would continue to grow. As a result, they suffer frost damage in cold winters, or they completely die.
