Yemalina "Tiberri": characteristics of the variety and cultivation agrotechnology

Ezemalina is a hybrid of raspberry with blackberry. The most popular variety of such a hybrid is Taiberry. It tastes like something between berries and has some sourness. You can get a great harvest of large berries, and how to do it, you will learn in our article.

The history of breeding a hybrid

A hybrid of blackberry and raspberry was accidentally bred by James Harvey Logan in Santa Cruz, California, in 1881. Initially, the breeder wanted to cross different varieties of blackberry to get an attractive look from a hybrid and send the berry for sale. Due to the fact that blackberry varieties grew next to regular red raspberries, cross-pollination resulted.

The Tyberry variety was bred in Scotland by DL Jennings in 1962 as a result of the selection of raspberry Molling Juel and Blackberry Aurora. The hybrid got its name in honor of the Scottish River Tai. Since 1981, the berry was put on sale.

Features, advantages and disadvantages of the variety

Yezmelinu Taiberry is easy to learn from the description, but the advantages and disadvantages of the variety few people know.

The list of advantages:

  1. High yield. You can get up to 10 kg of berries from an adult bush;
  2. Unpretentiousness to the quality of the soil;
  3. Winter hardiness;
  4. Lack of thorns on the stems;
  5. Disease resistance;
  6. The taste of the berries resembles raspberries and has a sweet aroma;
  7. Everyday berries are large (up to 6.5 g at 4 cm);
  8. Good transportability.
Disadvantages:
  1. When overriding, etalin darkens and becomes too soft;
  2. At the age of six, every third gives a very small number of offspring.
As you could understand, the advantages of this variety are greater than the disadvantages.

How to choose healthy seedlings when buying

Growing seedlings is not so difficult to grow, and care for the shrubs does not require much effort. First of all, you need to choose the right seedlings for planting.

The first thing to look out for is the buds and roots. At the base of the spring, there should be at least three buds. They give new branches in the next year. The root system must be healthy, with no signs of rotting or infection with parasites. You need to pay attention to the number of shoots, the elasticity of the roots, their moisture and density. They should not be lethargic and dry.

After you have examined the roots and buds, pay attention to the stems. On a young seedling should be one or more formed stems, which shows the readiness of the stem to active growth. Do not forget about the package, in which the seedling is wrapped. A young plant should not be in polyethylene, as it can die from waterlogging. It is better to take a plant wrapped in natural fabric.

Important! Do not buy lush and large seedlings, they do not take root well.
After the purchase, if you decide not to plant the seedling at once, you need to wrap the roots with a damp cloth. It is not recommended to keep them in this form for a long time, as the root system may start to rot.

Planting rules seedlings saplings

Growing saplings is like growing ordinary raspberries. In the following chapters you will learn all about planting agrotechnology.

Selection and preparation of a suitable place on the site

When choosing a site for planting trees, it is important to know that the plant does not like the north winds. So that it is better to arrange a young sapling under the sun.

The place should not only be sunny, but also have drainage. Either a flat area, or with a slight bias. Weekly seed should not be planted in damp or wetlands.

You can plant a hybrid in autumn and spring, like raspberries. In autumn it is necessary to prepare the soil for planting in 1.5 months.

Per square meter you will need superphosphate (70 g), manure (25 kg) and potassium sulfate (50 g).

If you plant a spring on clay or sandy heavy soil, you need to add more manure to the earthen mixture, and sanding on peat soils, that is, about four buckets of sand per square meter are poured into the soil. In the spring it is necessary to mix the top layer of soil with fertilizers. For a few weeks, dig holes and fold the top layer separately from the bottom.

If you do not have the opportunity to prepare the soil in advance, then you can pour the mixture into the well: compost (10 kg); wood ash (400 g); potassium sulphate (50 g); granulated superphosphate (100 g).

The process and scheme of planting seedlings

We proceed to the most important - the landing process.

For yourself, you must decide how you will grow raspberries in the garden. There are several options: bush method and tape.

With the bush method, you need to plant every spring at a distance of 1.2 meters between the bushes in a row, and 1.8 meters between the rows.

With the tape method, a strip should be formed from the stalks of the spring at the width of the tape up to 45 cm. The distance between the seedlings should be 40 cm, and between the tapes - 2 meters. The area where the seedlings will grow, you need to mark with pegs, and then dig trenches 55 cm wide and 40 cm deep. Pour the prepared earthen mixture into the wells. When planting seedlings do not forget to straighten the roots in different directions, and shake the seedling itself so that the ground fills all the voids between the roots.

After planting, the spring can be fertilized with double superphosphate.

Rules of seasonal care for the summer "Tiberri"

Now that the berry bush has been planted successfully, it is necessary to ensure proper care of the spring.

Everyday's protection from pests and diseases

Despite the fact that Yemalin is resistant to diseases, it is affected by such parasites as raspberry aphids and stem gallitsa. Stem raspberry gallitsa looks like a mosquito, and it settles on adult plants during flowering. Females of midge lay larvae at the base of the buds or on the lower part of the shoots. They also feed on stems.

It is very easy to find out that your daily trees are damaged by gall midges. On shoots and stalks bulges appear in places of feeding. The bark on them bursts, and the plant lags behind in development.

You need to fight them as follows. In autumn or early spring, you need to carefully inspect the shoots and cut the damaged areas along with the galls. After that, burn them to prevent re-infection.

Raspberry aphid feeds on the sap of the leaves of the saplings and hurts especially badly in dry years. Ezemalina is stunted and leaves are deformed. Inflorescences dry up. You can find them from the bottom side of the sheet.

During the growing season it is necessary to destroy aphids with the help of entomophages. These are ladybugs or golden eyes. Chemicals enter only before bud break, flowering and after harvest. You can apply a solution of nitrafen before bud break (30 g per 10 l of water). Before flowering, a 10% solution of karbofos (70 g per 10 l of water) is used.

Watering and mulching the soil

In addition to protection from pests and diseases, you need to know how to properly care for every spring. The plant does not like drought and drying of the top layer of soil. Therefore, it must be watered in spring and early summer. In dry weather, you should pour at least three buckets of water under a bush a week. It is necessary to water the plant in the evening so that during the night the water seeps into the zone of the root system.

Also, when growing trees, it is necessary to mulch the soil under plantings. It will retain moisture in the root zone and will inhibit the growth of weeds. In winter, mulching retains heat in the soil.

It is possible to mulch with a layer of rotted sawdust, foliage, straw, peat, weeded weed and hay to a height of at least 10 cm.

Weed control

Most often, weeds grow next to the bushes. And you can get rid of them in two ways: manually or with the help of chemicals.

Manually, the method is quite simple. You need to remove all the weeds, and then plow through the soil next to the raspberries to remove the remaining roots from the weeds and slow them down.

Fertilization

In the raspberry fertilizer system, it is the pre-plant fertilizer that decides everything. In the fall, you need to make 3.5 quintals of superphosphate or 2.5 quotes of potassium sulfate per 1 hectare. In the spring, 2.5 t of ammonium nitrate per hectare is applied.

Before planting, you need to make organic fertilizers.

It is important to know that when there is a lack of magnesium, the old leaves turn yellow from the center to the edges and often fall off. In this case, it is recommended to use dolomite, as it reduces acidity. Bring it in the fall.

With a boron deficiency in the spring buds fall off and lateral shoots are not formed, and emealin does not bear fruit. Boron is found in manure, so if your plant is “hungry,” you need to regularly add manure in spring.

Important! Emealin is sensitive to an excess of chlorine in the soil.

Garter on the trellis

We now turn to how to tie up the spring and why it should be done.

Shoots that are attached to the trellis are not damaged by winter winds, rarely get sick and bring a big harvest. Most often used single trellis in the form of two-meter supports. It is installed at a distance of three meters, between which they stretch 2-3 rows of simple steel wire. Each escape each spring tied to the wire separately.

Since emalin is a creeping shrub, we offer you a sloping trellis. Attach stalks to each pole at a height of 1, 2 m on a transverse crossbar up to half a meter long. To its ends you need to tie two wires. Then the fruiting stems grow and do not interfere with picking berries.

Important! Collect the berries carefully, as the young stems break easily and easily.

Pruning and shaping the bush

Extremely important is the cropping of the spring trees. It is done to ensure that the plant receives enough light, nutrition and moisture.

Elevated shoots of plants go to growth in the spring. The buds that form on them are not the same in development, and the following year lateral branches appear from them, on which flowers are not always formed.

Pruning is carried out after harvest. You need to cut all the biennial stems at the very surface of the ground, leaving no hemp. Root offspring, too, must be removed - they are not needed for reproduction.

When a band planting, the spring should be cut so that 35 more formed stems remain per 1 m row.

Moving on to how and when to start cropping the spring tree. In the second year of life, the plant is pruned at the beginning of summer, starting with weak shoots that have grown away from the row. Leave about ten shoots on the plant.

As soon as the etalina finishes fruiting, you need to cut the old stalks to the ground and leave strong and healthy young shoots.

Preparing for the winter

When growing berries, it is very important to prepare winter crops for the winter.

The plant is considered to be winter-hardy, however, due to excess nitrogen, frost resistance is sharply reduced. Therefore, the spring needs to be prepared for wintering.

You need to bend it in the fall and, depending on the weather, make sure that the raspberry is covered with snow. You should also provide the plant with air, and in the case of the formation of ice crust pierce it. Under a snowy coat, raspberries successfully survive the winter and hares will not eat it.

If you tied raspberries on the trellis, then for the winter it should be removed from the mount and insulated using sawdust, straw, peat, branches and other materials. If the winter was snowy, then mulching can be omitted.
