The subtleties of raspberry care

1. Experienced summer residents claim that high-yielding raspberries are extremely fond of double pruning.
   
   
   
   The first is held in June. The bushes, which have reached about a meter in height, cut off the top of 10 cm. The second pruning should be done in the spring. However, this time the side shoots are cut off.
