Raspberry<br />

Plants<br />

Annual plants<br />

Along with the establishment of a<br />

“classic” raspberry open field, the<br />

same plant system can also be used<br />

for annual raspberry cultivation. This<br />

type of cultivation requires changing<br />

the location annually and an annual<br />

replanting. The advantage of this<br />

cultivation variant is that there is no<br />

com petition between seedling canes<br />

and canes to be harvested.<br />

Some steps – such as the thinning out<br />

of the seedlings – can be omitted.<br />

Negative developments that can arise<br />

with the ageing of a raspberry plant<br />

(diseases, declining size of the fruit<br />

and – quality) are thus circumvented<br />

from the beginning.<br />

The yield, the size of the fruit and the<br />

resulting picking rate are the decisive<br />

factors for the success of an annual<br />

raspberry cultivation. This can only<br />

succeed if the canes achieve a sufficient<br />

length with an appropriate<br />

number of nodes.
