    Why does does it need to rotate? An orchard near me grows blackberries with two fixed long arms. No need to transfer arms after floricanes are done fruiting.

    • @ARfruitveg
      @ARfruitveg День тому

      We utilize the rotation system so 1) the canes can be lowered and covered during freeze events 2) canes can be trained in such a way that with the rotation they only flower and fruit on one side of the plant. This reduces sunburn of the fruit and keeps it cooler during harvest. Here is a link to our Part 1 video that introduces the RCA trellis and explains more of the benefits! ua-cam.com/video/m5wzgQx_OQM/v-deo.htmlsi=IN_88tr4eUwWn8_5

      You can usually tell by the color of the stems/ bark. 1 year old stems will be greenish/red, 2 year old stems will be red/brown, 3 years will be more brown/ grey and stems that are older will have grey bark that is flaking off.

      @deecee9741 10 днів тому

      Make sure that the short pass thru pipe (black) that has the chemical draw line is a smaller size than the main lines in the system. Venturi suction is created when liquid from a larger line 'constricts' or squeezes to pass through a smaller line... kinda like putting your finger at the end of a hose to shoot water higher creates a higher velocity. That velocity draws the liquid into the system. Research 'venturi effect'.

    Have your soil tested for ph level and use at least 90% elemental sulfer and acid base fertilizer, this the only way, your native soil acts a ph buffer and those amendments will have little to no effect on the ph. All of my information can be confirmed from UT agriculture department.

    My blueberry patch sight is only going to be prepared for a couple months ahead of planting, think the PH will be adjusted by then? I wonder if I should plant my bareroot blueberry plants I ordered in containers until PH is in range.

    • @ARfruitveg
      @ARfruitveg 4 місяці тому

      It is likely that the pH will not be fully adjusted from any sulfur you have applied in the previous 1-2 months, particularly if the soils are still cool. However if the soil is warm the pH will start changing and continue to drop over time. If the pH is very far outside the ideal range you may want to wait to plant, but if it started out between 5.0-5.7 or so you are probably ok to go ahead and plant.

    Please answer this question. Is it true that southern highbush and rabbiteye varieties cannot cross pollinate to produce a bigger harvest? If so, why is that?

    • @ARfruitveg
      @ARfruitveg 4 місяці тому

      You should select another rabbiteye type to ensure cross pollination on rabbiteye blueberries. Rabbiteyes will bloom later than most southern highbush types which is the main reason for this recommendation, and the bloom times must overlap for cross pollination to occur. It is possible for southern highbush to pollinate rabbiteye, but better fruit set and size occurs when the same type is used.
