Review of the best varieties of the sweetest raspberries according to gardeners' reviews

Raspberries are a popular and healthy summer berry. Old adapted varieties in Central Russia are distinguished by their unpretentiousness and vitality. On the site, raspberries can even behave aggressively, capturing new territories and expanding the boundaries of the raspberry. This behavior is associated with the characteristics of the varieties and lack of care. The best varieties of raspberries according to reviews of gardeners from different regions are presented in our rating.

Raspberry varieties are conventionally divided into 4 groups: large-fruited, classic, renovation and standard (tree-like).

Large-fruited raspberry inherited from the parental forms a high mass of berries and low winter hardiness. When growing large-fruited varieties of raspberries in the Middle Lane, the shoots are bent down and covered for the winter. To obtain large berries, you will need to create the appropriate conditions: the introduction of organic matter, top dressing, prevention of diseases and pests, regular watering. On poor soils, you cannot get a good harvest, and in a drought the berries will simply dry out on the branches. The brightest representative of the group, which has many fans and is grown even in the Urals - Krasa Rossii.

Stock raspberrydespite the growing interest in the group, it remains exotic in Russian gardens. These varieties of raspberries are decorative, easy to pick berries, disease resistance and high yield (due to active lateral branching). "Raspberry tree" does not need support, the crown retains its shape under the weight of the berries. At the same time, the varieties show good frost resistance and unpretentious care. Formation consists in pinching the tops of the shoots by 10 - 15 cm. In this group, the Tarusa variety is distinguished.

Classic raspberry varieties bear fruit on the shoots of last year, so the ripening of the berries begins early: from the end of June to July. Bushes overwinter with long shoots, which are recommended to be covered in the conditions of the Moscow region.

Repair raspberry bears fruit on both last year's and young shoots. But experienced gardeners recommend cutting out all the shoots in the winter and getting one late harvest on a young growth. In this case, the yield will be higher and the size of the berries will be larger. Fruiting period for remontant varieties: from late July to September-October. Many varieties of remontant raspberries are well suited for the Moscow region. Their advantages: they winter without problems, do not suffer from pests, and surpass in yield.

The choice of the best raspberry variety also depends on the purpose of the raspberry planting: for home use of dessert berries or for the sale of a marketable crop. Commercial varieties are distinguished by high yields, transportability and attractiveness of berries, but inferior in taste.

Sprawling bush, 1.6 - 1.8 m high, forms little root growth, gives up to 10 replacement shoots.Shoots are strong, do not bend during fruiting, covered with small, thornless thorns. The berries are dark red, rounded-oblong, with an average weight of 5-6 g, sweet taste, with a pronounced bright aroma, well stored and transported. The yield of one bush, with proper care, exceeds 4 kg. Berries do not crumble, are transported, due to dry separation, they are ideal in freezing. Shows high resistance to gray rot and spider mites, but susceptible to cancer of the measles system.

This remontant raspberry variety received good reviews from gardeners in the Rostov region and the Moscow region. Main pluses: excellent taste high yield small thorns Minuses: requires careful maintenance, does not tolerate drought susceptibility to root cancer

9.8 / 10 Rating Reviews The most delicious remontant berry. In regions with harsh winters, it is best to cut flush with the ground and mulch well.

Bryansk miracle 270 (for one year old seedling in a bag with wet moss) Repaired raspberry variety for commercial purposes and personal use. It is late in terms of ripening. The bush is 1.5 - 1.9 m high, slightly spreading, the formation of overgrowth is medium. The main shoots are thick with sparse soft thorns; there are no thorns on the fruit branches. The garter is done only in windy areas. Also, due to the long side shoots, the garter contributes to better ventilation and illumination of the lower tier. Berries of classic red color, cylindrical, elongated, up to 3 - 4 cm long, weighing from 5 - 7 to 11 - 20 g. Average yield - 3 kg per bush. The taste is sweet with sourness. The palatability rating is good and excellent. The berries are dense, store well and tolerate transportation.

Resistant to raspberry mites and major fungal diseases, and from spider mites requires timely protection.

Mid-season varieties

Gardeners have the same wishes (or requirements) for raspberry varieties of medium ripening periods as for everyone else - high yield, frost resistance, etc.

The average ripening period of raspberries is a rather loose concept, because the same variety can be planted in different climatic conditions - this is, firstly.

Secondly, summer weather in any year can bring its own surprises, which can "shift" the ripening phase of berries according to the "usual" timing.

Thirdly, the agricultural technology used, the wishes and capabilities of the gardener - can also affect the timing of fruiting. In a word, as in the famous funny book - the rescue of drowning people, the work of the drowning people themselves.

If early varieties of raspberries usually satisfy appetite, then mid-season berries for the most part go for processing - in compotes and jams.

These are the following varieties that provide good yields:

Reward

Tall bushes that do not require garters on trellises yield up to 3 kg of tasty, sweet and sour, blunt-pointed fruits weighing up to 3.5 g; The variety was obtained in the early 70s by crossing raspberries Kolkhoznitsa and Lloyd George, and is still loved by gardeners in the middle lane.

Balm

Ideal berry (2.5-2.8 g) for homemade preparations. Shoots reach a height of 1.8 m, their yield is higher than average - 2.2 kg from a bush. Derived from Newburgh and Rubin Bulgarian varieties. Good winter hardiness. The variety is included in the State Register of most Russian regions.

Zorenka Altai

It is characterized by a sweet-sour taste of berries weighing up to 3 g. A tall, medium-spreading bush does not have a high yield. The originator of the variety is the Siberian Research Institute of Horticulture. The variety is obtained by natural pollination of wild berries and Viking raspberries.

Shy

Erect shoots of low "growth" tolerate frosts well, but react painfully to drought. Conical berries, weighing up to 3 g, dark shade, with a weak aroma, yield 2.2 kg per bush. The "parents" of the Shy ones are the Ottawa and Rubin varieties.

Giant

The name of the variety speaks of large fruits (up to 18 g) and high yield - 5-6 kg of sweet and sour, oblong, dense berries can be removed from the bush. The variety is also called the Pride of Russia, and it justifies itself. In the northern region, it is recommended to cover the shoots for the winter.

Late ripening varieties

Late varieties are good because in a peculiar way they remind of warm summer days.

These varieties completely replace remontant ones, if the gardener does not have an attachment to this type:

Brigantine

It tolerates severe frosts with sufficient snow cover. Good yield for home cultivation - 2.2 kg per plant. The berries are round, slightly conical, weighing up to 3 g, suitable for transportation. The variety was bred by crossing the Sayana and Ottawa varieties.

Mirage

A high-yielding variety, gives 4 kg of berries weighing 5-6 g per bush, tall (up to 2.5 m), medium winter hardy, the stems with a waxy bloom are covered with thorns. High transportability of fruits.

Companion

In the fall, the attentive gardener will give up to 2 kg of dark, blunt-conical, vitamin C-rich berries weighing 2.5 - 3.0 g from one bush. The dense texture of the fruit makes them transportable. There is no wax coating on the shoots, but there are enough thorns.

Repaired plants

The advantage of the remontant type of raspberry is that it is less susceptible to diseases and pests than summer raspberries, and does not require constant chemical treatments.Repaired raspberry varieties have an increased need for sunlight and warm fertile soil. Well-lit areas are desirable for planting a remontant variety; a slight shade can significantly reduce the yield.

The success of growing remontant raspberries can be indicated by the following rule - the more heat and sun, the better. This is especially true for the Leningrad region - a territory with a transitional continental to maritime climate.

For planting raspberries, you need to select places protected by buildings, bushes, trees from cold northern winds.

Before laying the raspberry tree, it will not be superfluous to conduct a competent analysis of the soil in a specific area.

In the North-West of Russia, high-yielding remontant varieties have proven themselves well:

Unattainable

The berries ripen before the start of frost - in mid-September. Their weight is from 3 to 6 g, dark red, uniform, medium density. Fruits with a delicate "raspberry" aroma, few seeds, perfectly removable from the fruit-bearing, transportable. The average yield per bush is 2.5-3 kg, but it can be doubled with careful care. Ripening - from early August to mid-September.

Kalashnik

The characteristics of the variety are almost the same as the Inaccessible Raspberry. Plants up to 2 meters high, powerful, spreading, form up to 12 replacement shoots and up to 10 root suckers. Productivity - more than 2 kg of berries weighing 3.5 g;

The yellow Orange miracle also belongs to the remontant varieties, which will be mentioned below.

Yellow raspberry

In the middle lane, the berry is not as popular as the traditional red one, although the cultivation methods are the same as the agricultural technology of the scarlet's relative. Many gardeners argue that the taste of yellow raspberries is even higher, but as they say: to taste and color. ... This type of raspberry is used in landscape design - the bushes lend themselves well to molding and grow "in moderation."

Advantages:

1. Diet product.
2. Useful for people with allergies.
3. A good combination of sugars and acids.
4. Blanks from yellow raspberries are obtained with excellent color.
5. Yellow berry varieties tolerate cold weather better.
6. This species does not ripen at the same time - the period of fresh consumption is rather long.

There are also disadvantages - low transportability, unsuitability for winemaking and freezing for long-term storage.

Gardeners unanimously call the best varieties of yellow raspberries of the middle lane:

Yellow giant

Fruits weighing up to 3.5 g, the variety is fruitful (up to 10 kg per bush), disease-resistant, slightly frost-resistant. Shoots grow up to 2.5 m, in winter they need shelter under the snow.

Black varieties

This type of raspberry is less common in the Middle lane due to its dubious frost resistance. However, experienced gardeners claim that by paying a little more attention to black raspberries, they will reward them with a bountiful harvest, much more significant than traditional varieties.

In appearance and description, the berry is similar to a blackberry. It is easy to check which plant it belongs to. If it comes off with a receptacle - blackberry. The receptacle remained on the bush - raspberries.

Black raspberry bushes are decorative, they are strewn with berries of red, pink, black color during ripening, they serve as an excellent decoration of a garden plot or a flower bed.
