When will raspberries be planted? It can be planted in spring and autumn, and picking is divided into two seasons.

Raspberry can be planted in spring or autumn, and the effect of sowing in March is generally better, because the gradual warming in spring is beneficial to the germination of raspberry seeds, and attention should be paid to planting raspberries in high-quality sandy soil.

Raspberries are generally planted in spring and autumn, the best time to sow in spring is from mid-March to late April, and autumn is from mid-October to mid-November. Different places have different best sowing time to sow according to the local climate, but most raspberry growers choose to plant raspberries in spring, because it is more conducive to raspberry seed germination with the gradual warming of temperature in spring.

Matters needing attention in raspberry planting

1. Seed selection

Select good raspberry seeds, if the early seeds are not selected, there will be low yield, no fruit, many diseases and other conditions in the later stage, so we must choose high-quality raspberry seeds to plant, high-quality raspberry seed standard: the seeds had better be collected in the same year, and should be full, and stored under scientific methods, if the seeds are high-quality seeds directly supplied by professional raspberry plantations. Then there will be no big problems in the later stage of planting.

2. Seed budding and awakening

Raspberry seeds need to be soaked in warm water for a period of time before sowing, until the seed coat is cracked, exposing white kernels, and then they can be taken out and sown.

3. Soil requirements

Raspberry is a light-loving plant, acid-resistant soil, suitable for growth in areas with sufficient light, slightly acidic or neutral soil, loose soil and well-drained sandy loam soil is also suitable for raspberry growth.

4. Sowing method

Raspberries are generally sown by sowing. After sowing, cover them with soil about the thickness of 2cm, then pour water thoroughly at one time, and finally cover the grass curtain.

5. Tending and maintenance

After the raspberry seeds are sown, water should be watered thoroughly, and the grass curtain should be lifted after the raspberry seedlings come out. In the process of tending, weeds and insects should be removed in time, and appropriate amount of fertilizer should be applied.

When are raspberries picked?

Raspberry planting is divided into two seasons, and its picking is also divided into two seasons, there are summer fruit type and autumn fruit type, that is, single season raspberry and double season raspberry, summer fruit type raspberry has less fruit in the second year, and stable production can be achieved in the third year. Autumn fruit type raspberry can achieve stable production in the second year, and the picking time of raspberry is relatively short. Generally, picking in early June ends in mid-July, and the picking period is only about one month.

Cost and profit of raspberry planting

Raspberry is less affected by variety renewal, market demand and other factors, and the whole planting and production cycle of raspberry can reach about 20 years, which is a long-term planting project. If you take 10 years as a production cycle and calculate the income of raspberry according to the yield of 2000 jin per mu, assuming that the market price does not change very much, then the longer the production cycle, the higher the income.

1. Summer fruit raspberry: calculated according to 4 yuan / jin, the output value per mu can reach about 8000 yuan, except for the cost of about 5000 yuan per mu, the net profit per mu can reach about 3000 yuan.

2. Autumn fruit raspberry: calculated at 5 yuan / jin, the output value per mu can reach about 10000 yuan, except for the cost per mu of about 5000 yuan, the net profit per mu can reach about 5000 yuan.
