What is a remontant grade

Reconstruction literally means the ability to fully recover (from the French remonter - rise again, blossom again). For fruit crops, this means multiple flowering and re-fruiting during one growing season. Repaired raspberries form fruit ovaries both on the shoots of the current season and last year.

With proper agricultural technology, the bush will grow tall - up to 2 m. The branches are erect, but when the berries ripen, they can bend to the ground. 6-8 basal shoots grow annually.

Large cone-shaped berries weigh 6–8 g (sometimes up to 10 g). The fruit cone is slightly truncated. The length of some specimens reaches 4 cm. The color is golden orange, slightly pink. The berries are dense, resilient, do not fall apart in the hands during harvest.

The mass of the Orange Miracle berries reaches 10 g

Ripening on the shoots of the last year occurs in mid - late July (depending on the region). Raspberry blooms again by the beginning of autumn on annual branches. Fruiting continues until the onset of frost. The largest harvest is taken in the fall.

Table: pros and cons of the variety

Advantages	disadvantages
High yield (2.5–3 kg of berries).	The bush has small numerous thorns, which makes it difficult to care for and harvest.
Ripe berries do not crumble.	The variety is not drought-resistant.
Good winter hardiness.	During the period of heavy rainfall, raspberries are susceptible to infection with gray rot.
Bushes can grow in one place without renewal for up to 15 years.

Landing

Repaired raspberries are propagated by planting seedlings. With seed propagation, wild raspberry bushes are obtained.

A place

The first important step in planting a raspberry tree is choosing a location. For this variety, it is worth highlighting the sunniest and warmest plot on the site. All remontant varieties are sensitive to winds, so a building must protect the raspberries from the north side.

For good fruiting, the raspberry bush must be illuminated by the sun throughout the day.

Saplings

The second important point is the choice of planting material. When buying bushes in the nursery, be sure to pay attention to their roots. A good root system is branched, fibrous, thin and lively roots. If there is only one thick woody root, then it will take a long time to take root.

Buy seedlings from specialized nurseries

Density and landing pattern

Placement on a trellis would be ideal for a raspberry tree. Consider placing several posts at an equal distance from each other at once. Later, a wire or a reinforced cord will be stretched on them at a height of 50, 100 and 150 cm from the ground. The distance between the bushes should be 70–80 cm. Leave 2 m between the rows.

Raspberry bushes need support

The soil

The quality of soil for remontant varieties is of great importance. On too light sandy soils, the gardener will have to work hard to maintain constant moisture in the ground. Drained loams are considered the best for the Orange Miracle. The pH value should be 5.5–6.

Root preparation

The day before planting, disinfect the roots by placing them in a 0.5% solution of potassium permanganate for several hours. To obtain this concentration, 1 granule of potassium permanganate is diluted in 200 ml of water. Root-forming preparations - Kornevin, Epin, potassium humate also contribute to better rooting. Leave the bushes in any of these solutions before planting overnight or overnight.

Before planting raspberries, seedlings can be treated with Kornevin's solution

Landing

You need to prepare the landing pits a couple of weeks before planting.

1. Dig holes 30–35 cm wide and 25 cm deep.
2. In each add a bucket of manure or rotted compost, 100 g of superphosphate, a little peat. This soil mixture should be infused for 2 weeks.
3. Water the hole liberally just before planting, allowing the water to fully absorb.
4. Form a mound at the bottom.
5. Place a bush on it, straightening the roots downwards.
6. Fill the hole by compacting the soil around the root collar with your hands. Pay close attention to its level - it should be flush with the top edge of the ground.
7. Make a ring groove for watering.
8. Water the seedling.
9. Mulch with peat. The height of the mulch is about 5–7 cm. This will allow the soil to retain moisture longer.

Caring for raspberries means proper watering, timely fertilization, pruning, and disease prevention.

Subtleties of care for collecting a double crop

Reconditioning involves harvesting the shoots of the current year, since both annual and biennial stems can bear fruit. This opens up the possibility of picking berries twice a season, but certain agronomic techniques need to be applied:

1. Plant the shrubs in a well-lit and warm place without the slightest shade.
2. In the spring, shovel snow from the trunk and sprinkle ash on the root zone. This will provoke the awakening of the plant. Covering the roots with a non-woven material gives good results after the snow has melted.
3. In the summer, before flowering, add rotted manure under the bush. This is the favorite "delicacy" of raspberries.
4. In the fall, cut off the fruit bearing shoots not at the root, but only the upper part of the productive shoots. Next year, it is on these two-year-old branches that the first summer berries will appear.
5. In autumn, when there is a threat of frost, it is recommended to cover the bushes with non-woven material to ripen the berries.
6. An autumn harvest is recommended every 2-3 days. This will allow the plant to direct all its forces towards ripening the fruits remaining on the branches.

Watering

Lack of moisture leads to crushing of fruits and a deterioration in taste. It is worth paying attention to the fact that the soil under the bush is evenly and regularly moistened. Sprinkling raspberries would be ideal. A good method is also drip irrigation under the roots or irrigation in the grooves (they are done at a distance of 40 cm from the bushes, the depth is about 10 cm).

When sprinkling raspberries, the stems and leaves are washed

Top dressing

Like all plants, the Orange Miracle needs nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium fertilizers, as well as organic matter. But for a remontant variety, the amount of nutrients is higher than for regular raspberries.

Season	Period	Fertilizers
Spring	Early spring, beginning of vegetation	Organic fertilizers: mullein 1:10; chicken droppings 1:20. Mineral fertilizers: Nitroammofoska (50-100 g / 1 m 2) or urea (20–40 g / 1 m 2); superphosphate (50–80 g / 1 m 2); potash (20–40 g / 1 m 2).
Summer	Before flowering	Organic fertilizers: infusion of mullein 1: 8; infusion of chicken droppings 1:12; herbal infusions 1: 8.
	July, beginning of fruiting	bone meal (phosphorus content up to 21%); Kemira, Ekofoska (complex universal fertilizer).
Autumn	Before collection	Kemira, Ekofoska (complex universal)
	After harvest	Organic fertilizers: wood ash; siderates (white mustard, clover, vetch). Mineral fertilizers: potassium nitrate (20 g); double superphosphate (30 g).

Weeds can be used to prepare herbal infusions

Pruning

Pruning is carried out after the complete end of fruiting. Shoots are cut flush with the ground.

Some gardeners leave stumps 5-7 cm, but this method is not particularly expedient. Full pruning is a good prevention of the spread of diseases and pests. Also, the removal of all shoots eliminates the need to shelter them for the winter.

Prune the Orange Wonder at the root, leaving no stumps

Diseases and pests

Repaired varieties are resistant to disease. Due to its late flowering, the Orange Miracle is less susceptible to pests. But you should take into account possible troubles and know how to deal with them.

Table: pests and diseases of raspberries Orange miracle

Diseases / pests	Signs of defeat	Ways to fight
Chlorosis	Yellowing of the upper leaves, pedicels and receptacle leads to death. The berries dry out, deform and fall off without ripening.	The reason for this virus is a lack of iron. For recovery, raspberries are treated with Kugoplex. In order to prevent the disease, Nitrafen is used (20 g / 10 l of water) until the buds open. Shortly before flowering - Methylmercaptophos (at least 1.5 months before the fruit is removed). Infected plants are not fed with fresh manure and superphosphate. Potash fertilizers are halved, nitrogen fertilizers are applied in full. In case of recurrence, the bushes should be removed and destroyed.
Gray rot	Brown-gray spots appear on the surface of the berries, eventually turning into a solid "pile", on which black dots are noticeable.	This fungus is destroyed by the complete collection of all diseased berries. The ground around the trunk is cleared of waste and treated with colloidal sulfur (100 g / 10 l of water). The next year, before the leaves bloom, the bushes are sprayed with 3% Bordeaux liquid. The leaves are treated with copper oxychloride or Kuprozan (50 ml / 10 l of water), Tsineb, Albit, Rovral, Ronilan, Fundazol are also used.
Rust	Red, rounded pads appear on the surface of the leaves.	In the fall, it is recommended to destroy diseased shoots, loosen the ground. Next year, in the spring, cover the soil with manure, which is harmful to rust spores. If the plantings are badly damaged, in the spring, before the leaves bloom, treat with a 3% solution of Bordeaux liquid. For treatment, a 4% solution of ammonium sulfate or a 2% solution of potassium salt is used. In summer, before flowering, 1% Bordeaux liquid is used.
Anthracnose	Gray and purple spots appear on leaves and branches in late spring - early summer.	Prevention - spray plants before the start of shoot growth (when their length reaches 15-30 cm), then before flowering with 0.5% cuprozan suspension, 0.3% suspension of 90% copper oxychloride, 0.3-0.5% suspension of 50% phthalan. Thinning of plantings, prevention of thickening.
Bushy dwarfism	Disease difficult to identify. Sick and healthy plants are outwardly similar. Later, yellow stripes appear on the affected, the leaves are covered with spots.	The disease is not cured. The seedlings are quarantined and monitored for 2 years. The land under the bush is treated with Karbofos (40–45 g / 10 l of water).
Aphid	The pest feeds on the juice of young shoots. Because of this, their growth stops, the leaves change shape and curl.	Natural protectors are tansy, marigolds, marigolds, wormwood, lemon balm, dill, rosemary. Herbal infusions are prepared from these plants. Soap solution works well with soda ash added. If the plantings are badly damaged, use the drugs Fufanon, Intavir, Novaktion, Fitoverm, Aktellik (according to the instructions).
Raspberry weevil	Black bugs with elongated proboscis lay in the center of the buds. They eat raspberry ovaries, young shoots.	The beetle hibernates in fallen leaves. Therefore, in the fall, it is important to clear the soil around the trunk and treat it with Karbofos (80 g / 10 l of water). Before the beginning of the fruiting season, the buds are treated with herbal infusions of tobacco leaves, garlic arrows, dry mustard powder, and red pepper. Every 7-10 days, use a solution of wormwood, tansy, tomato stepsons. In case of severe damage by a pest, the preparations Fitoverm, Intavir, Iskra-Bio, Agravertin are used.
Raspberry beetle	Destroys berries, young green shoots. Clutches in buds. As they hatch, the larvae eat the inside of the raspberry.	For preventive purposes, plantings should be freed from thickets and broken branches in the fall. Manual collection of pests with subsequent destruction is effective. The plant and the ground around should be treated with Intavir and Iskra. Before blooming, flower buds are sprayed with 1% fungicide solution. If the plantings are badly damaged, the ovary of berries is also treated - Fufanon, Fitoverm, Konfidor, Kinmiks will do. It is good to plant garlic or onions next to the raspberry.
Raspberry stem fly	A grayish fly makes a clutch inside the shoots. Upon hatching, the larvae attack the plant from the inside. On the cut of the diseased stem, moves are visible.	Affected shoots are subject to complete destruction. Before flowering, Iskra, Agrovertin, Aktellik, Fitoverm are used. In the fall, treatment with 2% Bordeaux liquid is recommended.

Harvesting and storage

There are two main cleaning periods. The first berries ripen in mid-July. But the main share of the collection (up to 70%) will be raspberries of autumn ripening. The harvest begins in mid-August and continues until the very frost. One bush bears over 3 kg of fruit.

The variety belongs to dessert and, as a rule, is eaten fresh. It can also be used in homemade preparations - making syrup, grinding with sugar, for freezing. Due to the medium transportability, it is better suited for cultivation in personal backyard gardening.
