This plant loves to swim in the sun. In the sun, the harvest is richer, and the berries are sweeter. This is worth considering when choosing a landing site. It is better to plant in early spring so that the youngsters do not freeze over.
The size of the furrow depends on what you plant: for root cuttings, the width and depth are 8-10 cm and 5-8 cm, respectively; for green offspring 15-20 cm and 10-15, for woody offspring, the width and depth is 25-30 cm.
The bottom of the hole is laid with earth with humus or compost, we must also add potassium sulphide, superphosphate and a little more land without fertilizer on top. Roots are placed on top of this layer. Growth buds should sink no more than 3 cm into the ground. Fill with the mixture: soil, humus and mineral fertilizers.
Bush gradually watered. After landing, make a near-stem circle - a well that will hold water. Between the rows, a space of 1.8-2 meters is left.
Blackberry Bushes
Every year it is necessary to loosen the soil, as well as mulch it with humus.
Blackberry Trimming
In the first year of life, the inflorescences should be trimmed so that all forces are spent on strengthening the roots. In the second year, the stems are cut to 1.5-1.8 meters to make it more convenient to harvest.
Frozen stems should be pruned to live buds. Young shoots cut out in May and June to thin out the bush.
Approximately in June it is necessary to trim the tops of young stock by 5-10 cm.
Garter stalks
In the second year after planting, the plant must be tied to a support. What designs for this to build decides the gardener himself, based on the variety of blackberries and fantasy. It is impossible to bend the shoots by force, so as not to break the bush.
In order for the plant to produce many side shoots, it is necessary to pin young shoots to the ground and pinch the tops. A year later, the old shoots cut out, and the young raise on support.
