Homeowners grow different crops to their taste. As a rule, in the gardens you can find a large number of vegetables, fruits and various berries. Probably, not a single site will be left without everyone's favorite - raspberries.
A huge number of varieties today indulge the imagination of gardeners. I would like not only to grow a he althy and tasty culture, but also to ensure that it is also unusual. In this regard, you should pay attention to the raspberry variety "Golden Autumn". The whole family will appreciate such an acquisition.
Characteristic of the berry
The raspberry variety "Golden Autumn", the description of which is based on the yield and hardiness of the plant, is the following botanical characteristics:
- The variety is remontant, large-fruited, elite. The mass of the berry varies from 4.5 to 6 grams. It has a conical elongated, dense shape. The color of the berry is yellow with golden tints. Juicy in moderation.

Proper care
The planting site plays a big role in the quantity and quality of the crop. So raspberries "golden autumn" will bear fruit well mainly in sunny areas. Raspberry bushes feel great on light, fertile and moderately moist soils. It is worth noting that groundwater should be at least 1 meter from the roots of the bush. Planting yellow raspberries is carried out mainly in the autumn. Raspberry "golden autumn" does not react very positively to drafts. Therefore, planting is carried out near walls, fences and hedges, but on condition that the raspberries are not shaded. The soil needs to be periodically loosened, because the roots need oxygen.
Raspberries will respond with a generous harvest to the use of fertilizers. Spring top dressing should activate the growth of bushes, so nitrogen fertilizers should be applied in spring, and phosphorus and potash fertilizers in autumn. Pruning raspberries is a mandatory and responsible process. Pruning can be done immediately after fruiting in late autumn or early spring. The plant is cut off completely. For remontant raspberries, this is normal, because fruiting appears from young shoots.
Raspberries are quite resistant to winter frosts. But it happens that the climatic conditions are too harsh, with rather low temperatures and little snow. In such areas, it is better to take care of the raspberries in advance. The bushes are bent to the ground and fixed with improvised materials. If there is little snow, then raspberries are covered on top with non-wovenmaterial. Do not use polyethylene.
Reproduction
Reproduction of raspberry "golden autumn" is not difficult. Some gardeners like to experiment and try to grow raspberries from seeds. But it is a long and laborious process.
The most affordable method is the reproduction of raspberry seedlings. They can be purchased at specialized garden centers or nurseries. And if the desired variety is seen on the site of friends or acquaintances, then this is also a saving in the budget.
