Even though raspberry cuts are simple, opinions differ when it comes to raspberry cuts. In general, for the exercise of a modern orchard, the varieties must be adapted to modern mechanization and soil maintenance technologies. Following the research carried out, we can specify the fact that the Cayuga variety has a high drajon capacity, and a greater shortening of the stems leads to a decrease in drajon production. In the variants where the inflorescence's were not removed, the production of raspberry stems does not decrease. The quality of the raspberry stems was influenced to a very small extent by the removal or not of the inflorescence's. The root system of the raspberry is more superficial, the vast majority of the roots, about 80% of the roots are located closer to the soil surface, respectively in the soil layer between 0-20 cm. An intense growth of raspberry stems takes place in the months of May-June and the beginning of July, but along the way the pace of growth slows down, thus at the end of August their growth stops.
