Comparison of raspberry varieties - video

When choosing raspberry seedlings for your garden, it is advisable to have some summer varieties, and some remontant ones, in order to feast on tasty and healthy fruits for as long as possible. And recently, a raspberry tree has become fashionable on the plots. Let's take a closer look at what this whole palette gives the gardener.

Benefits of remontant raspberries

Not so long ago, remontant varieties of raspberries were inferior to traditional ones both in taste and in yield, but many modern varieties already surpass them in all respects.

Repaired raspberry yields on annual shoots, that is, even in the year of planting. It can also give part of the crop on biennial shoots.

A big plus of remontant varieties in simplified agricultural technology. If in traditional varieties it is necessary to cut out the shoots that have borne it and normalize the annual shoots, bend them down for the winter, then in the remontant, after harvest (or early spring), the entire aerial part is mowed, and there is no need to cover the shoots under the snow.

Repaired raspberries extend the consumption of fresh berries up to 1.5-2 months up to frost.

RECOMMENDED VARIETIES

Of the varieties of summer raspberries, the most popular among gardeners are the delicious and fruitful varieties Gusar, Solnyshko, Meteor, Balsam, Modest, Sputnitsa, Giant.

Of the yellow-fruited, a very tasty and large Yellow Giant. Of the foreign varieties, Lashka is of interest.

Of the remontant varieties, the ones created by I.V. Kazakov at the Kokinsky base of the varieties Bryanskoe Divo, Orange Miracle, Augustow Miracle, Hercules, Penguin, Atlant and a number of others. The mass of fruits of most of them reaches 7-10 g, while in the old summer varieties the berries weigh 2-3 g. Of the varieties of foreign selection, we can recommend such as Polka, Polana, Zeva. Raspberries on the stem are represented by the fruitful and time-tested varieties of Tarusa, Skazka.

Crimson tree

by the way

Only remontant varieties of raspberries can be planted in the garden. In this case, half of such a raspberry tree should be grown according to traditional technology, that is, cut out after the second year of fruiting - in this case, the berries will ripen earlier - in late July - early August. And grow the other half as a remontant, and the berries will delight you until frost.

What does it do? The fruits will be larger and of better quality, the plant will be less sick, since the raspberry tree is better blown through, the lighting is better.

Also, with this technology, raspberries are not damaged by the raspberry beetle. Since all branches are cut and burned every year, the number of diseases and pests is reduced, and there is no particular need for the use of chemical remedies.

Crimson tree

Interest in amateur gardeners is caused by varieties that are often called "raspberry tree", "standard raspberry". They got their name from a thick, powerful stem. They are distinguished by their large-fruited, compact appearance and good harvest.

A compact bush is perhaps the main advantage of the "raspberry tree", less shoots are formed. However, the biology of these varieties is not much different from the traditional raspberry. Their winter hardiness is average.

Summer raspberry

When planting a traditional summer raspberry, it is important to remember that its aboveground part lives for only two years, after the second year it dies off. Summer raspberries yield in the second year (on biennial shoots), after these branches have borne fruit, they need to be cut.

The root system of all the named varieties of raspberries is perennial, as a rule, a raspberry tree lives in one place for 12-15 years.
