Do Not Sacrifice Quality for Quantity. While pruning and tying raspberries, quality means:

  • If there is no plant to prune but there are good canes coming, be sure not to cut those good canes when you do the cleaning.
  • Never cut the irrigation lines.
  • When removing the canes, do not break too many canes. Remove the canes and put the canes in the middle of the rows so that they can be mulched; do not put them in large piles on one side.
  • Tie the canes up evenly, if there is a gap and there are no new plants, extend the canes to fill that area.
  • Arc the canes evenly do not break the canes when tying into the arch.

No sacrifique la calidad por la cantidad. Al podar y atar frambuesas, calidad significa:

  • Ate las cañas de manera uniforme, si hay un espacio y no hay plantas nuevas, extienda las cañas para llenar esa área.
  • Arquee las cañas de manera uniforme, no rompa las cañas al atarlos en el arco.
