Ancient Siberian Pruning Trick Yields Giant, Healthier Berries
A traditional Siberian pruning method is helping growers produce unusually large berries. By carefully thinning bushes and removing older branches, farmers can boost fruit size and plant health. Experts now recommend pairing this technique with proper fertilisation for even better results.
The method focuses on cutting away branches older than four years. These older stems often carry pests and fungi, increasing the risk of disease. Pruning should take place in late autumn or early spring, while the plant is still dormant.
The Siberian approach rejuvenates bushes and increases berry size. Proper timing and branch selection are key to its success. When paired with fertilisation, the method helps plants recover faster and produce healthier crops.
