Raspberry Maravilla: features of the variety and rules of care

Fragrant and healthy raspberry is well known to everyone since childhood. When collecting small and fragrant berries, I always wanted her to be a bit larger. That is why now gardeners are increasingly planting a new variety - Maravilla.

This berry is so good that it receives mostly positive reviews.All the details about the characteristics of the variety and how to properly care for such raspberries, tell in our material.

Thanks to talented breeders from distant California, a new variety of raspberries has appeared, the yield of which pleasantly surprises everyone. This variety of berries has characteristic differences that are not characteristic of ordinary varieties.

First, this berry is much larger. There are fruits more than three centimeters, weighing more than ten grams. It is dense, making it easy to assemble, not only manually, but also mechanically. Secondly, it has the possibility of long storage and perfectly withstands long-term transportation.

This variety of berries begins to produce fruit from mid-summer until the end of October. During this period, it will be easy to harvest twice. In the event that the berry is grown in a greenhouse, then by the first half of May, the first harvest can be expected.

And, of course, this raspberry variety has a pleasant and rich taste. Each berry is juicy, fragrant and sweet. Unlike other varieties, this species does not have watery and tasteless berries.

Another important fact is that the Maravilla variety does not need special care. A detailed description of how to properly care for such raspberries, read on.

As a rule, the Maravilla variety begins to be planted in spring or autumn. It is important to remember that the soil should be loose, unoxidized, and the wells should be prepared in advance: about a month and a half before planting. The depth of the landing hole should not be more than thirty centimeters.

It should be remembered that This variety of fragrant berries needs regular complex feeding, namely, three times per season. Also raspberry bushes need regular, not too abundant watering, so they grow much better.

In the open ground there is a high probability that the berries will be spoiled by pests, for example, thrips. They can cause serious harm to the shoots. To prevent this, we recommend spraying twice a day. The treatment can be carried out by selective drug.

Another effective way to deal with thrips is predatory mites. Special envelopes with these tongs are placed next to the bushes. Predatory mites do an excellent job with thrips, their larvae, and even other mites. This biological method of protection is very popular in many countries around the world.

If during the cultivation of the berries in a tunnel way, the leaves began to become covered with a dark, almost black bloom, then you need to immediately start fighting fungi, otherwise the bush will begin to fade. The fungus spreads to nectar.

To avoid this and solve the problem is easy, the main thing is to water the bushes correctly, without overflowing, without too much moisture. Then the fungus will not have a favorable sphere for further reproduction and appearance in general. Various fungicides help to combat this problem.

Pruning the bush is best done in the fall. We recommend cutting not only the tops of the shoots that have already been bearing fruits, but also the branches. They need to be cut to a height of one and a half meters. As a rule, the bush of this berry reaches a height of up to two meters.

You should not be afraid of pruning branches, since already the next season you will see how the shoots will produce lateral shoots. This will allow to get even greater yield, which can not but rejoice.
