Sometimes summer residents and gardeners are faced with the phenomenon that raspberries do not bear fruit at all.
It is necessary to understand why this is happening and how to restore a rich harvest of berries.
Causes of crop failure
Let's start with the fact that berries may be absent for one simple reason, which many summer residents forget about.
The older the bush, the more difficult it is for it to extract nutrients from the soil to form new buds. Therefore, raspberries are grown in one place for no longer than 10 years.
Another reason is a lack of nutrients, which is clearly indicated by the condition of the leaves, which turn purple or yellow and die.
And your bushes may not have enough moisture. So don't forget to use mulch so you don't have to run to the raspberry patch with a watering can all summer long.
The absence of fruits may indicate various diseases and the presence of pests. Therefore, do not neglect to inspect the plants in order to identify problems at an early stage.
