Water:
The rubus hybrid requires minimal care post-establishment, needing approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water weekly. Container-grown rubus hybrid may need more frequent watering based on soil conditions, ensuring deep watering when the topsoil is dry and maintaining well-drained soil.
Fertilize:
Prepare soil pre-planting with balanced fertilizer (N-P-K: 10-10-10). After planting rubus hybrid, apply mulch annually in early spring or late fall, and use balanced fertilizers every 2-3 months during growing and fruiting seasons, similar for pot plants.
Pruning:
Pruning is vital for rubus hybrid cultivation. After harvest, cut fruit-bearing canes to the base and trim first-year canes by half to promote side growth. Remove suckers and overcrowded canes to prevent disease. Ensure old canes are discarded to avoid harboring pathogens.
Propagation:
To propagate rubus hybrid, use 4-inch root or stem cuttings in late winter or early summer, planting in moist soil. For seed propagation, scarify seeds, sow in early fall, and possibly cold-treat at 3℃ (37.4℉) for a month before transplanting larger seedlings.
