Autumn Berry Planting: Prepare Now for Spring Bounty

Planting berry bushes in the autumn allows the root system to establish itself in the soil while the above-ground sections remain dormant. This preparation ensures a significant growth surge in early spring. Autumn Planting Procedure and Root Protection The planting process must be completed 3–4 weeks before the ground freezes completely to provide the roots sufficient time for primary establishment. If a gardener purchases saplings too late and the soil has already frozen, the plants should be buried at an angle in a sheltered area and covered with coniferous branches (lapnik) until early spring.
