Raspberry remontant orange miracle planting and care in the open field

In recent decades, the concept of raspberries as a red berry has changed. Breeders have developed new varieties of yellow, orange, with a sweet taste. Among them, the Orange Miracle raspberry variety should be noted.

The All-Russian Institute of Horticulture brought out a view of the experimental station located in the Bryansk region, under the leadership of I.V. Kazakov.

Description of bushes and berries of remontant raspberry varieties Orange Miracle

"Orange miracle" refers to medium-sized bushes, the height of which ranges from one and a half to two meters. The branches of the bush are erect, but under the weight of the crop they can bend strongly. Therefore, it is recommended to immediately pull the trellises when planting bushes.

They will keep the branches in an upright position, create conditions for the sun to illuminate the berries and ripen as soon as possible. The shoots are dotted with a large number of thorns that change color from green to brown. Five to seven new shoots are formed annually.

The repairing variety "Orange Miracle" has a high yield. The berries are yellow-orange in color and have a conical shape, slightly rounded at the bottom. Orange raspberry fruits grow up to four centimeters. And their weight ranges from seven to twelve grams. The berries have a dense structure that prevents premature shedding.

The Orange Miracle variety is famous for its rich aroma and sweet berry taste. In hot sunny weather, the berries become bright orange, acquire a sweet taste. In cool summer, the color will be yellow rather than orange, and the taste will be sweet and sour. Up to two and a half kilograms of harvest are harvested from one bush. The variety is characterized by the fact that up to 2/3 of the shoot is occupied by the fruits.

Due to their dense structure, the berries are not prone to shedding.They are not afraid of a 5-7 days delay in picking ripe berries, so up to a hundred fruits can be on one branch.

Harvest time

Fruit ripening begins at the end of July. But the peak of harvest begins in the second decade of August, continuing until the autumn frosts. At the same time, before the cold weather, most of the set berries ripen.

Advantages and disadvantages

"Orange miracle" is considered the best among the remontant varieties of Russian selection.Let's note the positive aspects of this type:

• bountiful annual harvest;
• low crumbling of ripe berries on the branches;
• large berries;
• sweet pleasant taste with a rich aroma;
• use for making preserves, jams and compotes;
• transportability;
• disease resistance;
• due to late flowering, it is less likely to be affected by pests;
• wide climatic distribution.

One of the main advantages of the remontant variety "Orange Miracle" is the fruiting of one-year shoots.

Therefore, in the winter, shoots are cut to the root, which allows you to minimize the thickness of the shelter for raspberries for the winter.

Among these advantages, there are a number of disadvantages. Agronomists refer to them as a small number of young shoots instead of a cut branch. If the branches are not tied, then they can bend strongly under the weight of the fruit., are damaged by strong wind, which leads to berry spoilage.

The variety "Orange Miracle" differs among related species high yield, sweet berry taste and aroma. The berries of the bush are hypoallergenic, so they can be given to young children and allergy sufferers. In terms of folic acid content, they are superior to other varieties.

Reproduction and care of bushes

For planting raspberry bushes, a place is pre-selected. It should be sunny and protected from northerly winds. This allows the soil to warm up faster, which stimulates the growth of young shoots. The developed branches begin to bloom and bear fruit earlier, give a greater yield.

Repaired variety "Orange Miracle" differs in unpretentiousness to the type of soil and climatic zone... The optimal soil for raspberries of this variety will be light, loose soil, for example, loam, which is recommended to be enriched with compost and peat.

Preparation stages

A month before planting, it is necessary to prepare the soil, apply fertilizers. The stock of fertilizers in the soil ensures the fruiting of bushes in one place for up to fifteen years.

Poor precursors for raspberries are potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, and eggplants. Therefore, it is worth postponing landing on such a site. Consider the sequence of preparatory work.

1. First, the landing sites are determined. By the bush method, seedlings are planted with an interval of 0.4 m in length and one and a half meters between rows. To exclude bending of shoots under the weight of the harvest, many agronomists recommend tying the growing shoots to trellises.
2. At the first stage (one month before planting seedlings) prepare a mixture of humus (about 10 kg), superphosphate (15 g), potassium sulfate (45 g). Potassium can be replaced with wood ash (200 g). The finished composition is mixed with the top layer of the earth.
3. At landing sites dig holes half a meter deep, fill them with prepared humus with mineral fertilizers, compact.

Before planting, they dig a trench half a meter deep near the holes. A mixture of fertilizers is poured into it. A meter of trench will require a glass of superphosphate and potassium sulfate and a liter of wood ash. The trench is covered with earth, tamped. This allows fertilizers along with moisture to gradually reach the roots, feeding them. The plot is ready for planting.

Selection of seedlings and planting time

The remontant raspberry variety can be planted in autumn, spring and early summer. To preserve the characteristics of the variety, parts of the rhizome or cuttings are used.

We advise you to purchase raspberry seedlings from nurseries in the same climatic zone where they will grow.

For reproduction of raspberries on your site, you can separate parts of the root with rhizomes in the fall and plant them in prepared holes. After winter, they will grow well. It is recommended to plant seedlings and cuttings in spring, summer, for their better rooting.

The procedure for planting seedlings is reduced to performing a number of simple actions:

• prepared holes are poured with water so that it is completely absorbed;
• a mound is formed in the center, on the top of which the seedlings are placed, straightening the roots down the hill;
• the earth is poured in small portions with tamping by hand;
• the root collar should protrude above the edge of the earth after planting is complete;
• making a shallow groove around the bush, water the plant;
• after absorbing water, we mulch the soil around, using humus, straw, grass, sawdust, peat for this;
• the layer of mulch should be at least five centimeters.

Long seedlings are shortened to thirty centimeters.

Care features

In early spring, it is necessary to fertilize the bushes with mineral fertilizers. To accelerate the growth of shoots and strengthen the roots, nitrogen fertilizers (15g / m2), potassium or its organic substitute - wood ash (glass per square meter) are mixed. Nitrogen fertilizers can be replaced with chicken manure compost. It is recommended to apply the first top dressing on melting snow in a dry form so that minerals with melted water penetrate to the roots.

In summer, we do not recommend using nitrogen fertilizers, otherwise the bushes will turn into greenery, the number of flowers and ovaries will significantly decrease.

One of the intricacies of caring for remontant raspberries is their love of hydration. Its roots are located at a shallow depth, therefore, when watering, it is enough to water the ground so that the water penetrates to a depth of thirty centimeters. Watering must be carried out in the summer during the setting of berries and ripening of fruits with warm water. After the earth dries out, it is gently and shallowly loosened. The land around the bushes is mulched, which retains moisture, while feeding the soil with humus.

Before flowering bushes, you can fertilize with mullein with complex fertilizers in the ratio: half a liter of mullein and 50 g of fertilizer are diluted in 10 liters of water. This amount is enough for five bushes.

Raspberry bush on a raspberry farm

In early summer, weak shoots are removed from the bushes, leaving five to six of the strongest.

Repaired varieties are plants with a one-year development cycle. Their advantage is a short development cycle - during the season the shoots grow and bear fruit. In the fall, they dry up, and they are cut out at the root, leaving about three centimeters.

Cut bushes are covered with straw, foliage, humus. Some gardeners cover raspberries without cutting the shoots to prevent young growth during warm and late winters. In addition, large shoots help retain snow, which increases the amount of moisture in the spring. Then circumcision is done in early spring, before the start of sap flow.

Diseases and pests

Although remontant raspberries are more resistant to various diseases and less commonly affected by harmful insects, some diseases are inherent in them.

1. Chlorosis manifests itself in the yellowing of the leaves at the tops, then the stalks turn yellow. As a result, the berries dry out before ripening. In the initial stage, raspberries are sprayed with Kugoplex. If it is not possible to cope with the disease, then a radical method remains - to cut, uproot the bushes and burn them. For prophylaxis, it is necessary to treat with Nitrofen before bud break, and Methylmercaptophos bushes are sprayed before flowering. After this chemical, raspberries can be harvested only after a month and a half.
2. Gray rot affects the berries, covering them with a gray bloom. Such berries are harvested and destroyed. Before hibernation, the bushes are treated with colloidal sulfur in a ratio of 100 g per bucket of water. Blooming leaves - Kurpozan or copper oxychloride. Pouring berries are sprayed with Fundazol, Ronilan.Supporters of organic methods of control are advised to sprinkle the soil under the bush with ash or activated carbon in powder.
3. Rust causes red bumps on leaves and stems. To combat this disease, it is recommended to spray with one percent Bordeaux mixture after flowering and the end of the harvest. Before flowering, raspberries are treated with Nitrafen.
4. Orange miracle rarely gets sick with anthracnose - gray spots, leading to the death of plants. If signs of the disease were noticed, then Bordeaux liquid, copper oxychloride is recommended for treatment.

Raspberry chlorosis

Among pests, raspberries "Orange Miracle" are more often affected by such insects: aphid, raspberry beetle, stem gall midge... If aphids and beetles eat leaves and flowers, then gall midge appears in the form of spherical growths on the shoots. To destroy them, many different chemicals are produced, among which the most popular are Karbofos, Confidor or Aktara. They are used according to the instructions.

In conclusion, we note that the achievements of Russian breeders in breeding remontant varieties of raspberries have been appreciated by gardeners. Among them, the variety "Orange Miracle" is considered one of the best used for food and for preparations.

Reviews

Gagina Julia: I like this variety for its sweet taste. This year we got the first harvest. On well-developed bushes - large berry. Most of the fruits are large and beautiful. We hope that the yield will meet our expectations.

Mihail66: "Orange miracle" pleased me with the yield, taste and size of berries. Yesterday my wife and I were harvesting the first crop. We got more than a kilogram from one bush. No sores are visible, the bush looks good. I just tied up the shoots, put up the props.

Svetlana Vitalievna: The berry is very sweet. The first berries ripened, but the wind rose, so many berries were damaged on the branches. After the rain, the very ripe berry softens on the branches.
But everything is compensated by the taste and size of the fruits, their aroma. They make delicious aromatic jam and compote. I will grow "Orange Miracle" on my site.

Recently, remontant raspberries have significantly supplanted the usual varieties of this berry. Moreover, breeders are bringing out more and more new varieties, which are called hybrids. One of the most popular remontant varieties today is the Orange Miracle raspberry. We will tell in the article about this variety, we will give recommendations for growing and care.

Characteristics of the raspberry variety Orange miracle

First of all, it is distinguished by its stable fruiting until the very first frost. The main difference between this variety is precisely in this - in abundant, generous and long-term fruiting. Berry ovary occurs both on last year's shoots and on young rooted shoots. The Orange Miracle gives relatively few fruits only at one moment of summer - this is the third decade of July, but already at the beginning of August everything resumes.

By the end of autumn, the shoots that have borne fruit usually dry up, but new ones are born in the next season. Too much load the bush, leaving last year's branches, is not worth it. Abundant fruiting weakens raspberries greatly, they become smaller and less tasty. However, according to experienced gardeners, if you leave a few old shoots, the fruiting period will be as long as possible.

It looks like a raspberry variety Orange miracle

The remontant raspberry has a specific agricultural technique - it requires increased doses of fertilizers and suitable soil. Raspberry retains varietal characteristics only during vegetative propagation. And from the seeds you can get bushes very similar to wild raspberries.

• Orange miracle - a plant with all its compactness is quite tall - it reaches 2 meters. The growth rate is not inherent in him.
• Every year, the bushes form 6-8 shoots from the roots. In normal times, these are erect branches. If they are weighed down with berries, they bend almost to the ground. Without a trellis, in this case, they can break.
• This variety bears fruit abundantly and stably. The berries grow large, with an average weight of 6-8 grams, although there are some that reach 10 grams. They have an extraordinary orange-golden color that turns pink in the sun.
• These berries are a little velvety to the touch. Very aromatic. They have the shape of a very elongated cone. Dense, uniform in size. Do not fall apart when removed from the bush.
• If the summer is warm and sunny, the Orange Miracle berries are very sweet. If the sun was not enough, then they acquire a pleasant sourness.
• The berries of the Orange Miracle ripen in the second decade of July and continue to bear fruit until the onset of cold weather. The peak of their collection falls on the tenth of August.

Advantages and Disadvantages of the Orange Miracle Raspberry Variety

• The variety is striking in its high yield. During the summer, each bush produces 2.5-3 kilograms of berries. In autumn, they do not become smaller, and their taste does not change either.
• Berries are distinguished by their transportability, and hence keeping quality. Despite the fact that they are juicy, their density is preserved. They can be stored at room temperature for 4-5 days. If they are provided with ideal conditions, then they will be stored for 2-3 weeks.
• The berries, ripening, remain on the bush, do not fall off.
• The variety is resistant to frost. In a shelter, it can withstand temperatures of -25 ° C.
• With good care, the plantings bear fruit within 15 years.
• The berries of the Orange Miracle are hypoallergenic. Red berries usually cause allergies. The Orange Miracle fruits naturally have a different color. Therefore, they can be eaten by those who are allergic to common raspberries.

Close-up fruits of the variety - are distinguished by their large size, unique orange-yellow color and honey, sweet aftertaste

Disadvantages of the variety:

• Even on annual shoots, there are often located sharp thorns.
• Bushes that are not tied up cause damage to raspberries due to the wind: with its gusts, the fruits are damaged by thorns when they rub against each other.
• Raspberries of the Orange Miracle variety are susceptible to gray rot.
• Drought-resistant.

Preparing for planting raspberries of the Orange Miracle variety

Saplings of this raspberry variety are best planted at the end of May (in the southern regions, this procedure is extended until mid-summer). When buying seedlings, it is better to give preference to bushes that have a developed fibrous root system with thin shoots, rather than thick branches with several weakened roots.

In regions where the temperate continental climate reigns, for the Orange Miracle raspberry variety, it is necessary to select the sunniest and warmest place on the site, and arrange the bushes in such a way that a house, shed or other building would cover them from the north from gusts of wind - drafts are dangerous for everyone varieties of remontant raspberries.

Tip # 1. If the Orange Wonder is planted in the southern regions, it needs a light shade to protect it from the heat.

For several bushes, the planting area should be quite spacious: there should be at least 0.8 meters between the plants, the row spacing should ideally be 2 meters. On an ordinary 6 acres, place raspberry bushes in small clusters consisting of 2-3 plants, the distance between which is at least 70 centimeters.

A place for a trellis must be provided. To do this, it is enough to dig in several posts or metal pipes at equal intervals, pulling a wire or a reliable synthetic cord between them at a height of 50-170 centimeters. On such trellises, the berries will receive a sufficient amount of light and heat, and not hide in the bushes. Read also the article: → "Do-it-yourself raspberry tapestry in the country."

Raspberry fruit size compared to matchbox

Any soil is suitable for normal fruiting of the Orange Miracle. But fertile, light, breathable soil is preferable. For example, forest loam, fed with dry peat and humus. A slightly acidic or neutral soil will be optimal. Too acidic soil is undesirable.You can add 250-300 grams of dolomite flour to the planting pit.

You should not plant the Orange Miracle in lowlands, in which melt water can stagnate for a long time in spring, or in areas where groundwater is located close to the surface. An excess of moisture should not be allowed on the site for planting. It is undesirable to plant the Orange Miracle nearby with ordinary raspberries or with plants of the Solanaceae family, susceptible to the same diseases.

Planting pits should be 30-35 centimeters wide and 25 centimeters deep. They need to be dug up 2-3 weeks before planting raspberries. The top layer (15 centimeters thick) of the excavated earth is mixed with fertilizers: 15-20 liters of compost or rotted manure, 100 grams of double superphosphate, 70-80 grams of potassium nitrate (or a liter can of wood ash).

In order not to burn the roots and not interfere with the proper rooting of raspberries, it is impossible to add fresh manure and nitrogen-containing fertilizers during planting. Potassium chloride should also not be added to the soil for remontant raspberries. If the soil is sandy, it is good to add powdered clay into it, if it is heavy - sand. Read also the article: → "Rules for fertilizing raspberries."

Tip # 2. A day before planting, it is good to soak the roots of the seedlings in a weak solution of potassium permanganate, potassium humate, Kornevin, Topaz, Epin preparations.

Planting process of raspberry varieties Orange Miracle

1. In the planting hole, water the soil and wait until the water is absorbed.
2. Place the seedling on a mound of earth that is formed at the bottom of the pit, straighten the roots so that they are directed downward.
3. In small portions, gently add the earth and at the same time tamp it down with your hands. Make sure that the root collar is flush with the upper edge in the filled hole. In light sandy soil, the root collar is buried 3-4 centimeters.
4. Around the planted plant at a distance of 25-30 centimeters, form an annular groove to a depth of about 10 centimeters and water the bush abundantly.
5. After half an hour, the soil should be mulched with sawdust, dry peat, humus, cut grass, chopped straw.

The thickness of the mulch layer should be 5 centimeters.

Watering raspberries to increase yields

Like all remontant varieties, the Orange Miracle raspberry requires some attention. One of its characteristic features is moisture-loving. The bushes are watered little by little, but often, after which the soil must be carefully loosened, trying not to damage the roots, to a depth of almost 5 centimeters. If the raspberries do not get enough moisture, the berries will become smaller and less sweet.

However, excess moisture is also harmful - the roots can rot, and the berries will get sick with gray rot. Drip irrigation or sprinkler irrigation is ideal. If this is not possible, then the water should be poured into the grooves between the bushes. You can not pour water under the base of the bush, as you can bare roots located close to the surface.

How to feed raspberries

Nitrogen in high doses is very important for remontant raspberries. An infusion of cow dung, which is a natural source of nitrogen, is ideal. This type of raspberry absorbs much more nutrients from the soil than ordinary varieties, which is why it quickly depletes. Therefore, when the seedlings of the Orange Miracle are in the ground already in the second season, they need fertilizing, in particular, nitrogen. The variety also needs phosphorus and potassium.

Top dressing of the Orange Miracle variety occurs according to the following scheme:

• With the onset of spring, the soil must be carefully loosened, while incorporating rotted manure (5-7 l / sq. M) or humus into the soil, as well as granules of double superphosphate (25 grams per bush) and 15 grams of potassium nitrate. After half an hour, the planting needs to be watered abundantly.
• The first decade of June is the time when raspberries need to be watered with infusion of fresh manure, nettle greens, bird droppings, dandelion leaves. To prepare top dressing, you need to place the raw material in a deep container and fill it with water (twice the amount); close the container tightly and put in a warm place for 4-5 days; then open it, mix the contents thoroughly and dilute with water in a ratio of 1: 8 (bird droppings - 1:12). The watering rate for one bush is 2-2.5 liters.
• A month later, the plants are fed with a complex liquid fertilizer specifically for raspberries or fruit-bearing shrubs (Kemira, Ekofoska) according to the instructions. An alternative can be the following top dressing: pour a glass of wood ash with a liter of boiling water and leave for two days. Strain before use.
• At the beginning of autumn, repeat the second feeding.
• After harvesting, they fertilize raspberries of the Orange Miracle variety for the last time: dissolve 30 grams of double superphosphate and 20 grams of potassium nitrate in a bucket of water. Water each bush with 5 liters of solution. In rainy autumn, fertilizers can be applied dry.

Raspberry Orange miracle takes root well on a variety of soils and does not require particularly difficult maintenance

For poorly growing bushes, foliar dressing can be additionally carried out every 5-6 weeks by spraying the leaves with a solution of ammonium sulfate (15 grams per 10 liters of water) or ammonium nitrate.

How to prune raspberries

For a remontant raspberry, this procedure is much easier than for a regular one. Shoots should be cut as close to the ground and parallel to it. After the cessation of fruiting, close to the ground, cut off the annual shoots, on which the fruits ripened this year. The height of the remaining stumps should be no more than 3 centimeters.

Tip # 3. In order to make pruning, you must definitely wait until the end of fruiting. Repaired raspberries can be cut after the first cold weather and even during the first frost.

Another pruning is carried out in the spring in order to clear the bushes of broken and frozen branches. Additionally, you can pinch the tops of the branches by 10-15 centimeters - this will make it possible for the remontant raspberries to bear fruit en masse, however, a little later. Read also the article: → "Pruning raspberries at different periods of its growth and development."

Sometimes gardeners cut off the fruit-bearing shoots not in the fall, but in the next spring, not excluding surprises from the weather. If within 1-1.5 months after pruning the soil does not freeze, new shoots will develop on the rhizomes, which will die in winter and will not appear next spring. In a winter with little snow, the snow that does fall out will better linger on the shoots and protect the raspberries from the cold.

Pests and diseases of raspberries

The main diseases and pests of raspberries are presented in the table:

Pest or disease	Signs	What to do
Bushy dwarfism	Yellow stripes and spots on leaves that quickly disappear. The berries on the affected bushes are distinguished by a small number of drupes, which are not connected to each other.	The disease cannot be cured. Prevention is as follows: quarantined seedlings are monitored for 2 years. Damaged bushes are removed and burned. Once a month, the soil under the bushes is sprayed with a solution of chlorophos or Karbofos (40-45 g per 10 l of water).
Chlorosis	The tops of young shoots, leaves, receptacles, pedicels turn yellow, and later die off. The berries do not ripen or are deformed.	This indicates an iron deficiency. Plants should be sprayed with Sequestrene solution. To prevent the plant, before the leaves appear, spray with a solution of Nitrofen (2 g per 10 l of water). In top dressing, fresh manure and superphosphate are excluded.
Gray rot	Black-brown spots grow on the berries, on which a gray "pile" with small black dots appears.	Berries affected by rot are destroyed. In autumn, the bushes must be treated with colloidal sulfur (100 g per 10 liters of water). In the spring, they are treated with fungicides three times.Before the leaves bloom, spray the bushes and soil with Bordeaux liquid (3% solution), the blossoming leaves - with copper oxychloride or Kuprozon (50 g per 10 l of water), berries - Ronilan, Rovral, Fundazol.
Aphid	Deformation, twisting and drying of the leaves occurs. Shoots stop growing, berries - ripening.	You can plant calendula, marigolds, wormwood, tansy, rosemary, dill, lemon balm next to raspberries. They are used to prepare infusions for spraying. The affected plant parts can be dipped in a solution of soda ash with the addition of shavings from laundry soap. In case of mass defeat, use insecticides, Fufanon, Novaktion, Fitoverm Aktellik, Inta-Vir.
Raspberry beetle	From the inside, it eats away buds, stamens and pistils in flowers, leaves. The larvae destroy the berries.	Prevention: once every 2-3 weeks, starting in mid-spring, spray the plants with a solution of potassium permanganate (0.5 g / 10 l of water). Plant beds with garlic and onions nearby. Treat flower buds with a 1% solution of any fungicide, fruit ovaries - Fufanon, Kinmiks, Fitover, Confidor.
Raspberry weevil	It feeds on young greens and fruit ovaries. They lay eggs in the buds, gnawing the peduncle.	In autumn, the raspberry tree needs to be cleaned of broken branches, leaves, etc. Spray the soil and bushes with Karbofos. In the spring, the buds are treated with infusion of garlic arrows, red pepper, mustard powder, dry tobacco leaves. In summer, once every 7-10 days, raspberries are sprayed with a solution of tansy, tomato tops, wormwood.
Raspberry stem fly	The larvae eat away the shoots from the inside, which dry up.	Damaged shoots must be cut and burned.

Heading "Question-answer"

Question. Is it possible to destroy aphids in a greenhouse by ozonation?

Definitely not. Ozone does not harm aphids, it only kills bacteria. If there is a lot of ozone, then it will only burn the plants, and the aphids will survive. Better process them with Confidor or Aktara.

Agree, raspberries with orange berries are an infrequent guest in our gardens. But how good these unusual berries are - juicy, large, sweet. This is all - from the description of the remontant raspberry variety Orange Miracle. The bushes of the plant will not only surprise with a large harvest, but also decorate any corner of your garden.

Description of the remontant raspberry variety Orange Miracle

The Bryansk Agricultural Academy is considered the "raspberry capital" of the republics of the former USSR. And the world famous scientist I.V. Kazakov is rightfully called the ancestor of fundamentally new varieties of raspberries. One such know-how is the Orange Miracle raspberry variety.

Raspberry Orange miracle - a new word in raspberry farming

Raspberry bush The orange miracle can be classified as medium-sized, its height does not exceed 1.8 m. The compactly growing, erect and strong shoots are covered with thorns, which creates slight difficulties in picking berries. Under the weight of the fruit, the shoots bend and can break, so the bush must be tied up. During the season, from 5 to 7 replacement shoots are formed.

The berries are very large, one-dimensional. Their average weight reaches 5 - 6 g. But sometimes real giants weighing 10 - 12 g ripen. The shape of the fruit resembles an elongated cone up to 4 cm long. Raspberries Orange miracle are dense, but very juicy. Slightly velvety to the touch. The drupes are tightly linked together. The bones are very small.

Raspberries Orange Miracle large and one-dimensional

The raspberry variety Orange Miracle got its name for the unique color of the berries. We are all accustomed to the fact that raspberries are traditionally raspberry or red. And the Orange miracle has an unusual and very beautiful color - the berries are orange or golden yellow. Bright sunlight can add a little pink to the base color.

It tastes sweeter than red berries. This is due to the fact that the yellow berry contains less acids - sugar 3.3%, acids - 1.1%. The aroma is subtle. The taste of raspberries is influenced by the weather.The sunnier and warmer, the more sweetness in the berries. If the summer is cool and there is little sun, then the taste will be rather sweet and sour.

Raspberry Orange Miracle is a remontant variety. Unlike simple raspberry varieties, remontant ones have a one-year development cycle, and during the season they manage to grow shoots and give a crop. Moreover, the berries have time to ripen twice a season.

Raspberry Orange Miracle is a remontant variety that bears fruit twice a year

Distinctive features

Of course, the Orange Miracle raspberry differs from other varieties with its unusual berry color. Another characteristic feature of the variety is systematic and abundant fruiting. The branches are literally strewn with fruits. Up to 100 berries can ripen on one bush.

Advantages and disadvantages of the variety

Raspberry bushes Orange miracle need a garter, as they can break under the weight of the crop

Landing features

Compliance with all planting rules will help grow a healthy plant, caring for which will only be a joy.

Landing dates

Seedlings with a closed root system are planted in spring, autumn and even summer. If the root system is open, then plant young plants, you need to take into account the climatic features of the region. In the south, autumn planting is preferable, which must be performed in the second decade of October. In regions where frosts come early, planting is best done in the spring, before the onset of sap flow.

What to look for when choosing a seedling

To be sure of the quality of the future harvest, it is important to make the right choice of seedlings. It is best to buy from trusted sellers who can be advised by friends or from nurseries specializing in the cultivation and sale of raspberries.

Basic rules for choosing planting material.

• Roots. The root system must be well developed, moisturized and elastic. Broken or rotten areas are unacceptable. A big plus is the packed roots. But the packaging must be made of breathable material, in polyethylene the roots can rot.
• Stem. Height not less than 20 cm. Not dried out, no visible damage.
• The presence of kidneys. At the base of the stem there should be at least 3 growth buds, from which branches will develop.

You need to buy seedlings in nurseries specializing in the cultivation of raspberries

Seat selection

For raspberries of the Orange Miracle variety, we choose the most illuminated and protected from the north from the cold wind and drafts. It is best to plant raspberries along a fence or building.

In areas with a short summer period, it is best to locate the bushes from south to north or northeast and southwest. This will allow the plants to receive as much light as possible.

Raspberries Orange Miracle are best planted near the fence

The plot must be flat. A small, up to 8 °, slope is allowed. The location of subsoil waters is not higher than 1.2 m to the surface of the earth. Raspberries really do not like moisture stagnation.

In the Crimea and Krasnodar Territory, where in summer the air temperature steadily tends to 30 ° C, and the sun can cause leaf burns, raspberries are best planted in a light diffused shade.

You need to choose a site taking into account its predecessors. An old raspberry tree should rest for at least 5 years before planting a new raspberry. You should also avoid areas where tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants and peppers grew. The healthy growth and development of raspberries can be hindered by diseases and pests that accumulate after these crops. Plum, apple, rose and barberry are good neighbors for raspberries.

If you want to control the spread of raspberries around the area, plant sorrel around the perimeter of the bushes. The acids it contains will serve as a good containment factor.

Site preparation

Raspberry Orange Miracle is not too capricious in the choice of soil, but it grows better on loose fertile land. Light loam and sandy loam are ideal for planting raspberries. On poor sandy soils, raspberries will need more careful care in terms of feeding and watering.On heavy clay soils with high acidity, raspberries will not grow.

Ideal preparation of the soil for laying a raspberry tree takes as long as 2 years. The soil should be well fertilized, since remontant raspberries consume much more nutrients than simple varieties.

1. If the soils are acidic, they are limestone - they add either ground limestone or lime fluff. This neutralizes acidity and improves the properties of the earth, making it looser, heat conductive and moisture-absorbing.
2. Under the first digging, add 2 - 3 buckets of humus, a glass of complex fertilizers Kemira universal, Growth or Stimul per 1 m2. It is very useful to plant legumes on the site during the preparatory period, they will enrich the land with the necessary nitrogen.
3. In the spring of the planting year, siderates are sown - clover or mustard. When the green mass has grown, it is embedded in the soil. Under the second digging, nutrients are again introduced: 10 kg of compost or humus, 100 g of superphosphate, 50 g of potassium magnesium. You can replace potash-phosphorus fertilizers with ash, it will take up to 130 g per 1 m2. You need to dig up the soil to a depth of 20 cm.

If there is no time for long preparatory work, then 3 months before planting raspberries, an accelerated preparation is carried out. It will not include sowing green manure, but the introduction of nutrients is mandatory.

Before planting raspberries, the soil must be prepared by introducing useful substances into it

Step-by-step planting process

1. The remontant raspberry Orange Miracle has a root system that is not as fibrous as that of ordinary varieties. Therefore, the planting hole needs to be dug more spacious than usual - 50–70 cm deep and 50 cm wide.
2. Mix the deposited topsoil with manure or humus (3-5 kg), add a handful of ash and mix well.
3. Put the earthen mixture on the bottom of the pit in the shape of a cone. Put a seedling on it and spread the roots to the sides. Before planting, it is useful to dip the roots in a 1/10 solution of mullein and water, or simply in a clay mash.
4. Cover the plant with the remaining soil. After planting, the root collar should rise slightly above the soil level. Small, up to 2–4 cm, deepening is allowed only on light sandy soils, since with the arrival of heat, the top layer quickly dries up and the roots begin to suffer from a lack of moisture.
5. At a distance of 30 cm from the raspberry bush, form a girdle groove 10 cm deep. Under each seedling, it is enough to pour up to 7-10 liters of water, wait until it is absorbed and mulch the soil around the plant.

Mulch protects against moisture loss and keeps the soil loose, saving the grower from frequent loosening.

The root collar should not go deep when planting

Landing scheme

Since the Orange Miracle remontant raspberry should receive the optimal amount of sunlight, the traditional planting scheme will not work. The distance between the bushes should be increased to 70 - 90 cm. The row spacing should be at least 1.5 m, but not more than 2 m.

If you want to save the planting area, raspberry bushes have small groups of up to 3 seedlings. With this planting, the distance between the bushes is reduced to 50 cm.

The distance between the bushes of remontant raspberries should be greater than between simple varieties.

Mandatory garter

Due to the fact that the stems of the raspberry Orange Miracle easily bend under the weight of the crop and can easily break from the wind, they need support. The easiest method is to build a trellis. At an equal distance from each other, supports made of wood or metal are dug into the soil, a wire is stretched between them in 2 - 3 rows. In the process of growth, the bushes are tied to a wire. This method also makes picking raspberries much easier.

Tying raspberries on trellises is the easiest way

Care

Proper care will guarantee good yields.

Pruning

Correct autumn pruning of remontant raspberries will help to get a bountiful harvest for the next season. The procedure is not complicated at all. After removing the last berries, it is necessary to cut off all aerial parts of the raspberry very close to the ground, the height of the remaining stumps should be about 3 cm. Cut stems need to be burned, because pathogens and pests can accumulate in them.

Thanks to such radical pruning, raspberries will not freeze in winter, even if the snow cover is minimal. In addition, the procedure will help to avoid infection with diseases and get rid of pests. Healthy and strong stems will grow next spring.

After fruiting, remontant raspberries are cut close to the ground.

Watering

Repaired raspberry varieties are very hygrophilous. The orange miracle is by no means an exception. Taking into account the weather conditions, water the bushes once a week and a half. If there is enough precipitation, then watering can be slightly reduced so that there is no threat of soil acidification, from which the roots suffer. Poorly watered raspberries will also not please with the harvest, you can not expect large berries.

The most effective irrigation methods are drip and sprinkler irrigation. But the ditch method, when water flows through the dug grooves, will not fail either. It is not advisable to pour water from a hose directly under the bush - the roots located in the upper layer of the soil will easily find themselves on the surface. The moisture rate for one bush is from 3 to 5 buckets of water, this will be enough to soak the earth 40 cm deep.

The drip method of watering raspberries is considered the most profitable

Fertilizers

The remontant raspberry that yields twice a season and consumes more nutrients than the usual varieties. As a fertilizer, it is necessary to use not only organic, but also mineral fertilizing.

• In the spring, nitrogen-containing fertilizers are required to stimulate the growth of raspberries. Very relevant in this regard, feeding with a solution of mullein (1/10) or chicken droppings diluted in water 1/20. For 1 m2 of moistened soil, 4 - 5 liters of solution is enough. The same top dressing can be given at the beginning of summer.
• In the second half of summer, mineral fertilizers are used. Potassium sulfate and urea, 30 g each and superphosphate 60 g. This is the rate of application per 1 m2.
• Autumn dressing should not contain large amounts of nitrogen. During this period, it is recommended to apply humus under the bushes in an amount of 6 kg per 1 m2.

If, before planting raspberries, the soil underwent the proper processing and the introduction of all the necessary fertilizers, then the first 2-3 years you do not need to apply top dressing. This is especially true for the southern regions. In the middle lane, you need to fertilize in the second year after planting.

Repaired raspberry varieties should receive more nutrition than simple varieties

Shelter for the winter

If you spent the autumn pruning of raspberries Orange Miracle, then there is no reason to worry about the upcoming winter. The stems are removed, only the roots remain, which can survive frost-20 ° C without any problems. They are covered with a thick layer (at least 20 cm) of mulch. For this, peat or foliage of shrubs and trees are quite suitable. Mulch in combination with snow cover will protect even a young root system. After the snow melts, the mulch is carefully removed.

The remaining uncut shoots should be bent to the soil, pinned with metal staples and covered with boards. From above, the shelter is covered with foliage, spruce branches or covering material is spread.

Raspberries have long been known and loved by gardeners around the world. In recent years, remontant varieties have been replacing the usual summer raspberries from our gardens. And work continues on the introduction of new products. One of the most amazing, according to the descriptions of the regulars of the garden forums, is the raspberry Orange miracle. This variety combines several indisputable advantages.

What is a remontant grade

Reconstruction literally means the ability to fully recover (from the French remonter - rise again, bloom again). For fruit crops, this means multiple flowering and re-fruiting during one growing season. Repaired raspberries form fruit ovaries both on the shoots of the current season and last year.

Description of the raspberry variety Orange miracle and photo of the fruit

With proper agricultural technology, the bush will grow tall - up to 2 m. The branches are erect, but when the berries ripen, they can bend to the ground. 6-8 basal shoots grow annually.

Large cone-shaped berries weigh 6–8 g (sometimes up to 10 g). The fruit cone is slightly truncated. The length of individual specimens reaches 4 cm. The color is golden orange, slightly pink. The berries are dense, elastic, do not fall apart in the hands during harvest.

The mass of the Orange Miracle berries reaches 10 g

Ripening on last year's shoots occurs in mid - late July (depending on the region). Raspberry blooms again by the beginning of autumn on annual branches. Fruiting continues until the onset of frost. The largest harvest is taken in the fall.

Table: pros and cons of the variety

Landing

Repaired raspberries are propagated by planting seedlings. By seed propagation, wild raspberry bushes are obtained.

A place

The first important step in planting a raspberry tree is choosing a location. For this variety, it is worth highlighting the sunniest and warmest plot on the site. All remontant varieties are sensitive to winds, so a building must protect the raspberries from the north side.

For good fruiting, the raspberry bush must be illuminated by the sun throughout the day.

Saplings

The second important point is the choice of planting material. When buying bushes in the nursery, be sure to pay attention to their roots. A good root system is branched, fibrous, thin and lively roots. If there is only one thick, woody root, then it will take a long time to take root.

Buy seedlings from nurseries in your area: growing conditions, quality of land and water will be close to those in which they grew and matured.

Density and landing pattern

Placement on a trellis would be ideal for a raspberry tree. Consider placing several pillars at once at an equal distance from each other. Later, a wire or a reinforced cord will be stretched on them at a height of 50, 100 and 150 cm from the ground. The distance between the bushes should be 70–80 cm. Leave 2 m between the rows.

Raspberry bushes need support

The soil

The quality of soil for remontant varieties is of great importance. On too light sandy soils, the gardener will have to work hard to maintain constant moisture in the ground. Drained loams are considered the best for the Orange Miracle. The pH value should be 5.5–6.

Root preparation

The day before planting, disinfect the roots by placing them in a 0.5% solution of potassium permanganate for several hours. To obtain this concentration, 1 granule of potassium permanganate is diluted in 200 ml of water. Root-forming preparations - Kornevin, Epin, potassium humate also contribute to better rooting. Leave the bushes in any of these solutions before planting overnight or overnight.

Before planting raspberries, seedlings can be treated with Kornevin's solution

Landing

You need to prepare the planting pits a couple of weeks before planting.

1. Dig holes 30–35 cm wide and 25 cm deep.
2. In each add a bucket of manure or rotted compost, 100 g of superphosphate, a little peat. This soil mixture should be infused for 2 weeks.
3. Water the hole with plenty of water just before planting, allowing the water to be fully absorbed.
4. Form a mound at the bottom.
5. Place a bush on it, straightening the roots downwards.
6. Fill the hole by compacting the soil around the root collar with your hands. Watch its level carefully - it should be flush with the top edge of the ground.
7. Make a ring groove for watering.
8. Water the seedling.
9. Mulch with peat. The height of the mulch is about 5–7 cm. This will allow the soil to retain moisture longer.

Raspberry agricultural technology Orange miracle

Caring for raspberries means proper watering, timely fertilization, pruning, and disease prevention.

Subtleties of care for collecting a double crop

Reconditioning involves obtaining a harvest on the shoots of the current year, since both annual and biennial stems can bear fruit. This opens up the opportunity to pick berries twice a season, but you need to apply certain agronomic techniques:

1. Plant the bushes in a well-lit and warm place without the slightest shade.
2. In the spring, shovel snow from the trunk and sprinkle ash on the root zone. This will provoke the awakening of the plant. Covering the roots with a non-woven material gives good results after the snow has melted.
3. In the summer, before flowering, add rotted manure under the bush. This is a favorite "delicacy" of raspberries.
4. In the fall, cut off the sprouted shoots not at the root, but only the upper part of the productive shoots.Next year, it is on these two-year-old branches that the first summer berries will appear.
5. In autumn, when there is a threat of frost, it is recommended to cover the bushes with non-woven material to ripen the berries.
6. An autumn harvest is recommended every 2-3 days. This will allow the plant to direct all its forces to ripening the fruits remaining on the branches.

Two harvests will allow you to feast on berries for a long time. But such an intensive method can weaken the plant and lead to a decrease in yields in the future.

Watering

Lack of moisture leads to crushing of the fruit and a deterioration in taste. It is worth paying attention to the fact that the soil under the bush is evenly and regularly moistened. Sprinkling raspberries would be ideal. The method of drip irrigation under the roots or irrigation in the grooves is also good (they are done at a distance of 40 cm from the bushes, the depth is about 10 cm).

When sprinkling raspberries, stems and leaves are washed

Top dressing

Like all plants, the Orange Miracle needs nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium fertilizers, as well as organic matter. But for the remontant variety, the amount of nutrients is higher than for regular raspberries.

Weeds can be used to prepare herbal infusions.

Pruning

Pruning is carried out after the complete end of fruiting. Shoots are cut flush with the ground.

Some gardeners leave stumps of 5-7 cm, but this method is not particularly expedient. Full pruning is a good prevention of the spread of disease and pest breeding. Also, the removal of all shoots eliminates the need to shelter them for the winter.

When deciding to leave the shoots overwintering at the end of autumn, dried and damaged branches are removed, and in the next season, when the snow melts, the tops of the bushes are cut off (by 15 cm), frozen and weak stems are removed.

Diseases and pests

Repaired varieties are resistant to disease. Due to its late flowering, the Orange Miracle is less susceptible to pests. But you should take into account possible troubles and know how to deal with them.

Remember - the processing of formed berries with chemicals is prohibited. An exception can only be made if other plants in the garden are at risk of infection.

Harvesting and storage

There are two main cleaning periods. The first berries ripen in mid-July. But the main share of the collection (up to 70%) will be raspberries of autumn ripening. The harvest begins in mid-August and continues until the very frost. One bush bears over 3 kg of fruit.

It is recommended to remove the stalked berries to increase the shelf life.

The variety belongs to dessert and, as a rule, is eaten fresh. It can also be used in homemade preparations - making syrup, grinding with sugar, for freezing. Due to its medium transportability, it is better suited for cultivation in personal backyard gardening.
