Organic Goji berry duo 2 plants
September raspberry plants are remontant. From the first year, this late variety produces very juicy, tangy pink fruits weighing around 10g. Its sweet raspberries can be eaten fresh, in sorbet or even dried.
The plants reach their adult size after 2 years: they will then measure between 1 and 2 m in height and width. They are vigorous, robust and very hardy: they are frost-resistant down to -18°C, and disease-resistant.
How to grow September raspberry plants?
Raspberry plants can be transplanted in full sun, except in warmer regions, where they should be planted in semi-shade. Keep a distance of 80 cm in all directions to avoid overgrowth. Dig a hole 40 to 50 cm deep to accommodate the plants.
Raspberry bushes need fresh, well-drained soil rich in humus to grow properly and produce. We recommend adding compost to the planting holes. During the first year, water regularly. To keep the soil moist, mulch the base of the raspberries.
In the garden, they can be planted singly or in hedges.
When and how to harvest September raspberries?
Raspberries are harvested for the first time in June, and from September until the last frost, a second, much larger crop is produced.
Raspberries are a fragile fruit. They are delicately picked by hand and eaten quickly.
The first fruits appear as early as the first year.
What's the difference between a remontant and a non-remontant raspberry?
The difference between these two characteristics concerns the production period and the size of the bushes:
- Non-remontant" raspberry bushes produce fruit around 2 years after planting, and only in June and July. Raspberries are pruned in autumn or spring. Cut off dead branches that have produced fruit at ground level, as well as weak shoots. Keep 6 to 10 vigorous canes, which will produce many fruits.
- Raspberry "remontant": following in June and July. They can bear fruit from the first autumn after planting, and the following year in June and July. In winter, when there is no frost, cut off any dried-out canes that have borne fruit during the summer, any weak shoots and the tips of canes that have borne fruit from August to October.
Both types of raspberry should be left to grow naturally for the first year after planting, and care should be taken to maintain soil fertility to ensure good fruiting. To do this, in autumn, enrich the soil with organic matter such as compost, vermicompost, etc.
