  2. Planting:

Care Instructions

  1. Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during the first growing season. Water deeply once or twice a week, depending on weather conditions. Nova Red Raspberries have shallow root systems, so it’s important to avoid letting the soil dry out, particularly during the growing season and fruiting.
  2. Fertilizing: Feed the plants in early spring with a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) to encourage healthy growth. Avoid excessive nitrogen, as it can lead to lush foliage at the expense of fruit. Organic fertilizers such as compost or well-rotted manure work well. You can apply a second dose of fertilizer after harvest to support the plant’s energy for the following year.
  3. Monitoring: Regularly check for signs of stress, such as yellowing leaves, which could indicate underwatering or nutrient deficiencies. Nova Red Raspberry plants are also relatively disease-resistant, but always be on the lookout for signs of pests like aphids or cane borers.

Maintenance and Long-Term Care

  1. Pruning:
  2. Pest and Disease Control: While Nova Red Raspberries are disease-resistant, they can still be affected by common raspberry pests like spotted wing drosophila, aphids, and cane borers.
  3. Winter Protection: Nova Red Raspberries are hardy in USDA zones 3-8. In colder climates (zones 3-5), protect the plants by applying a thicker layer of mulch around the base in late fall to insulate the roots from freezing temperatures.
