Description of raspberries "Bryansk divo" gives us information that this variety is extremely prolific. Siblings not only weaken the plant, but also take more than half of the nutrients from the soil. This is not to mention that the bed will quickly thicken, and the plants will just become crowded.

They fight with everyone else with a sharp shovel, cutting the rhizomes to a depth of about 8 cm. This is especially important if you have a raspberry "Bryansk divo." Reviews of gardeners say that this is a great variety with luxurious berries, however, excess growth must be removed every time.
Bush formation
If you start the bushes, then the bed will turn into untidy thickets, which will occupy a large area, and raspberries will give less and less. With the regular destruction of the shoots, the central part of the bush gives only about ten shoots of substitution. They are left by the seven strongest. In this case, the productivity of the bush of repair raspberries does not decrease. It is precisely this result that gardeners strive to achieve so that the bed is neat, easy to process, and each bush delights with an excellent harvest.
