Rubus idaeus fallgold - draagbeugel

Growing Rubus idaeus ‘Fallgold’ (yellow raspberry) involves similar principles to general raspberry care. Here’s a brief guide:

1. Location: Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Raspberries prefer slightly acidic to slightly alkaline soil.

2. Planting: Opt for early spring or late fall for planting. Space plants 2-3 feet apart in rows.

3. Soil: Ensure well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Compost or well-rotted manure can be beneficial.

4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture.

5. Pruning: Prune canes in late winter or early spring. Remove dead or weak canes to promote healthy growth and fruiting.

6. Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring, following recommended rates.

7. Support: Provide a trellis or support system to keep canes upright, making harvesting easier and improving air circulation.

8. Harvesting: Harvest ripe berries regularly during the summer and fall to encourage continuous fruit production.

9. Disease and pest control: Monitor for common raspberry pests and diseases. Use appropriate treatments, and consider organic methods if possible.

Adjust these guidelines based on your specific growing conditions and local climate.
