Choosing a landing site, prefer a well-lit place that is not flushed with drafts. Blackberry "Taibrai" loves warmth and sun, as well as a nutritious loan soil. Also note that the soil must be pre-cleaned from perennial weed plants. Since culture in the process of its growth will reach considerable height, provide it with a support for which it will cling. Support can be created by itself, inserting two-meter poles into the ground and stretching several rows of wire between them.
Getting started to landing the blackberry, dig in the prepared place to a yam with a diameter and a depth of about 50 cm. Also prepare so far, stirring garden ground with 5 kg of manure, 100 g of superphosphate and 50 g of potash fertilizers. Busty stick up to the root cervical level. After landing, the plant must be trimmed, shorter shoots up to 25-30 cm. Popping the roots of the earth and the tampering of them, paint the blackberry with a sufficient amount of water, it should have about 5 liters of liquid to one bustice. So that the water did not evaporate too quickly, and the earth did not dry and did not crack, the nearby space mulk peat or a compost. Mulch layer Make a height of 7-8 cm.
The period of development of the grade "Taibrai" is 2 years. In the first season, kidneys are tied on the bush, and by the second year, the blackberry starts fruit. At the same time, the plants die on the plant. It is during this period that it is necessary to form a crown of bushes, so that it was later convenient to work with the plant and collect crops from it. The most common method of forming blackberry bushes is a fan. It means that the branches of the past year, in which the berries are ripe in the current season, are tied up to the sleeper, sending one way. Young processes are directed to the other side, creating a semblance of vegetable fan.
With the onset of spring, when the sludge has not yet begun, the plant is subjected to forming trimming. All the long branches and those that develop incorrectly are roughly brought by about a third of their lengths.
During the fertility period, blackberry may require small shading, since the berries are spoiled under the action of direct sunlight. To create a shadow, you can pull the protective grid over the bushes. Such a grid will not only lock the plant from the hot sun, but also protects from birds. The vintage of the Blackberry "Taibrai" ripens long enough and can be assembled until the beginning of the cold.

The reproduction of raspberry blackberry "Taiperie"
The Hybrid of Raspberry and Blackberry "Taiberi" can be multiplied by several ways. One of the popular methods is considered to reproduce the culture with giving. Such a procedure is considered very effective, as it ensures good accessibility of young plants and subsequent rich crops. Reproduction with gifts is carried out in several stages:
- Near the parent plant, the soil is loose at a depth of 30 cm. In the ground, a small amount of large-scale sand is also added and stirred with soil. All coming cloves of the grounds are crushed.
- By choosing the desired branch, it is released from foliage for a length of approximately 30-40 cm.
- Then the knot is found on the shoot and make an oblique incision to 5 cm long and "tongue". The damaged place is immediately disinfected.
- The branch is flex to the ground and will interfere with a cut in the prepared pam. "The tongue" is rejected and fixed, and the above-ground part of the escape is installed on a vertical backup.
- The earth is sprinkled, they are slightly tamped and pouring abundantly. The branch should be rooted by about 1-1.5 years. After this time, you can check whether the roots appeared on the shoot. For this purpose, the earth around the process can be slightly lifted with a pitchfill.
- In the autumn or spring, the new plant is cut off from the mother's bush and transfer to a new place.
Another way to reproduce the Blackberry "Taiperie" - shower. It consists in the following:
- In the first weeks of summer from the parent plant, cuttings are cut off - fragments of young green branches, on which at least 1 kidney is present.
- Then prepare the tanks for landing, filling them with a mixture of sand and peat.
- In these containers plant cuttings, moisturize the soil and covered with a film, after which they put in a warm place. In greenhouse conditions, the cuttings are held for about a month, providing them with good humidity.
- When the cuttings are allowed root, they can be transferred to the loft.
Sometimes the Blackberry "Taiberi" breeds root cuttings. To do this, they first dig a bush of plants from the ground and selected suitable roots. They must be durable, healthy and thick exceed 5 mm. Such roots are divided into fragments of 5-6 cm and roll over the ground into the ground to a depth of 15 cm. From above, planted plants are sprinkled with fertile soil, well moisturized and periodically feed fertilizers. From time to time the soil loose, so that the roots have access to oxygen.
