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 due to 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 winter 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 are superior 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.

If the raspberry variety seems attractive to you and has positive reviews in other regions, then first you should buy 1 - 2 bushes, provide them with better conditions and conduct your own assessment. The taste, the strength of growth, the ripening period are largely determined by the growing conditions: the climatic zone and agricultural technology.

Have a nice harvest!

Attention! The reliability of the information and the results of the ratings is subjective and does not constitute advertising.

Productivity of new varieties of raspberries

The first selection criterion is yield. When the engine of progress tells us about catastrophically huge numbers - up to 50-60 t / ha, we believe. Some due to naivety, some due to other circumstances - but we believe. Not all, but many. How much productivity can you expect, which is considered excellent, and which is minimal?

On average, if you take a modern high-yield variety, you can count on 15-20 t / ha in industrial culture, 3-5 and up to 8 kg per bush, depending on the photoperiodic type - traditional or remontant, in amateur gardening.
Old, fruiting mainly on the tops of the shoots - by this time we will return, give an average of 1.5-2 kg per bush.

Which ones are considered the most productive today?

• Most of these are varieties of Polish selection, presented by the Institute of Horticulture and Floriculture in Brzezna, Jan Danek, originally from the UK, samples of the Glen series belonging to the Scottish breeding program, among which are thornless Glen Prosen, Glen Moy, as well as breeding institute East Malling, East Mulling experimental station, the oldest and most famous scientific station, Russian Hussars, Hercules, Patricia, etc.
• The American market, more precisely, the North American one, is represented by the products of the breeding programs of the University of Washington and Mary Land, the State University of North Carolina, and the Pacific Research Center for Agricultural Products of Canada.
• Among the common products of the program are American varieties Chemainus, Cowichan, Malant, Qualicum (Canada), Washington Cascade Delight, Cascade Dawn, Cascade Bountu. American renovation works are represented by Californian works of the Driskolsky Partnership, including Isabel, Caroline, Cardinal, Madonna, etc.

In the photo there are new modern varieties of raspberries - fruiting

Among the requirements put forward for the new American forms, light color of fruits, yield, large fruit, a high percentage of sugar and low acid, the absence of a pronounced aroma - which is very curious, and most importantly - resistance to viral infections, root rot.

We will tell you about the yield of the most famous ones below.

Why do we need new items?

This is not a tribute to fashion - the yield of modern new varieties of raspberries is many times greater. In addition to the larger size, productivity, the absence of thorns in many, or the presence of a slight stud, there are a number of advantages.

• Firstly, fruit branches are located along the entire length of the shoot, starting from a height of 25-30 cm from the ground in many. Secondly, many new items are tall, due to which the number of laterals and fruits increases. In addition, the abundant branching of plants allows not only to take off high yields, but also to relieve oneself of the labor of pruning, i.e. pinching the tops and side branches to stimulate branching.
• The higher resistance to diseases of many new products makes it necessary to get rid of old ones, to look for worthy alternatives.
• So, they are quite resistant to major viral diseases, dwarfism, overgrowth, and are resistant to damage by pests.

Early-late - pay off!

The timing of fruiting is another primary criterion for choosing a new modern variety specifically for you. Among the novelties of European, Russian selection there is something to look at.

The early ones are from European Laszka, Malling Minevra, Glen Moy, Mallig Jewel, Promis.
Main season (mid-early) from Russian Hussars, Pride of Russia, from European Glen Ample, Glen Prosen, Malling Admiral, East Malling.
Late-Main Season: Glen Fain, Glen Doll, Tulameen, Cascade Delight.
Late: Glen Magna, Malling Hestia, Octavia, Tadmor.
Repaired - fruiting in the fall on the shoots of the current year: the Russian Hercules, Taganka, the famous Polish Polana, Pokusa, Polka, the English Himbo Top, Joan J, Autumn Treasure, Autumn Bliss, as well as the Swiss Sugana, Erika.

Do not let the reader be confused by the above list, which contains most of the foreign names.

Russian selection, in spite of everything, does not stand still. New varieties of Russia, bred in the next 5-6 years: you can call Beglyanka - bred in 2009, Prelest - 2010, Arbat, Patricia, Giant, Ozarenie, Orange Miracle, Penguin, Berdskaya, Nadezhda, Student, etc.

Ukrainian breeding is also developing, albeit not by leaps and bounds. Brusvyana is a vivid example of the experience of private selection, when Brusilovskaya, Brusilovskiy standard, Yaroslavna were obtained in the farm of the same name with her. In addition, there is Syaivo, Cosmic, Princess, which should be paid attention to.

Here is a description of some of the most famous and noteworthy.

Glen Ample is an ideal modern industrial grade: yield up to 200 c / ha, unpretentious, productive. Obtained by crossing Prosen x Meeker. Fruits are dense, large, weighing from 6 to 8 g, in average weight up to 4-5 g, bright red, with a pronounced raspberry aroma.

Choice by purpose: position obliges

Choosing a new variety based on soil and climatic conditions is the first commandment of a successful industrialist and gardener. So, new items zoned for Western Europe or the south need shelter in the Central Black Earth region of Russia, they may not fully reveal themselves or show poor survival in the Urals, in Central Russia.

In the photo there are new large-fruited varieties

When choosing for the Moscow region, it is worth focusing on frost-resistant, medium-early, with a not too extended fruiting phase, which manage to give the berry before early frost.

As an example, we can recommend both domestic - again well-known Hussar, remontant Taganka, Patricia, and European - Polka, Glen Ample, Glen Fine.
If you rely on the information of the State Register of the Russian Federation, suitable old and new for the Non-Chernozem zone, where 27 names are zoned, including Novost Kuzmina, Barnaulskaya, Kostigbrodskaya, Novokitaevskaya, Kaliningradskaya. Some of them are outdated, some still delight with the harvest.
For the Central Region of the Non-Black Earth Zone, the irrigated areas of the Middle and Lower Volga regions, Arbat, Gusar, Patricia are suitable
For the south of Western Siberia, Altai, Gusar and Giant are suitable.
For the Central Black Earth Region Giant, Gusar, Arbat, Atlant, etc.

It is worth noting that not all new items take root well; in regions of risky farming for culture, it is worth paying attention to old, proven friends who can easily endure severe winters and an unkind cold spring. It is worth remembering the inability of seedlings from Foggy Albion or relatively warm Poland, which do not take root well in the continental climate - and remember the zoned, viable and adapted ones.

New varieties for Siberia - most often recommended zoned for this region bred in the Research Institute of Horticulture. M.A. Lisavenko. Vera, Brilliant, For Health, Zorenka Altai, Kolokolchik, Rubinovaya and many others - all of them are distinguished by high winter hardiness and frost resistance, amicable ripening in mid-early periods - in mid-July.

For southern Siberia, the Urals, Central Russia, the repairing new I.V. Cossacks, fully adapted to local conditions.Hercules, Cap of Monomakh, Bryansk Marvel, Inaccessible.

If new varieties of raspberries are chosen for Ukraine, you need to keep the course for mid-ripening and late ones, having time to yield before the cold weather, resistant to moisture and drought-resistant and heat-resistant, if for the southern regions. For the northwest - resistant to damp, humid air, root rot. For the Eastern regions of Ukraine, winter-hardy raspberries are suitable due to severe frosts and insufficient snow, drought-resistant, early, medium-early and remontant varieties. Again, let the reader not take it for advertising, remember the above-mentioned products from Jan Danek, the Polish ones - Polka, Lyachka and Polana, remember the European Glen Ample, Glen Fine and others.

Disease resistance

When breeding, special attention is paid to resistance to bacterial, fungal and viral infections, to major diseases. When buying seedlings in a nursery, we can count on in vitro culture, i.e. clean from bacteria, obtained under special conditions, free from pathogens of pathogenic flora. Such planting material is not cheap, but it is worth it: if you are going to breed new raspberries in earnest, want to get your own seedlings, you need pure material, not cheap.

It is worth mentioning that many new products are more resistant to the dwarfism virus, overgrowth carried by leafhoppers, in general, less susceptible to diseases of the root system. By carefully reading the descriptions of varieties from the originator, you can find information about the predisposition of plants to one or another type of disease. So, about the tendency to root diseases Glen Ample, Glen Fine, the originator honestly warns.

By the way, the vaunted Octavia and Tulamin are both sinful with instability to root rot with damp air, heavy clay soil, with warm mild winters. In fairness, it should be noted that in open ground, in areas without dampness, waterlogging is not a problem. Indoors, in greenhouses, with an excess of warm, damp air and a lack of preventive measures, the problem does occur - but not often enough to give up wonderful productive plants.

Large-fruited novelties and not so

You will not surprise gardeners and farmers with a berry weighing 3 g - serve 10! Gigantomania, which has seized the European market, has long settled in our area. So, among the new varieties of large-fruited raspberries, the line of authorship of Kichina - Tarusa, Arbat, Patricia, Taganka, Maroseyka, Penguin, Izobilnaya - there are many worthy ones, a good choice for small-scale production, for amateur gardening. Not all of them are distinguished by excellent taste, not all are suitable for industrial cultivation, but all are worthy of attention.

Most do not participate in industrial cultivation - more precisely, there is no official data, although many of them, remontants, are suitable for machine harvesting. In medium and small agribusiness, many Russian novelties are tested, which are distinguished by their yield, unpretentiousness, and most importantly, suitable for certain climatic and geographical conditions.

European ones are represented by the aforementioned Zyugana, Tulamin, Polka and Polana, Himbo Top, Joan J, etc.

The only disadvantage of large-fruited is the low winter hardiness by Russian standards. This applies to both domestic and English varieties.

It should be noted that for industrial cultivation, a particularly large size is not required: the main thing is stability, gross yield, productivity and suitability for machine assembly. For small-scale production, for farmers and gardeners, the question is relevant: you really want to get rid of small berries, surprise your neighbors with large juicy fruits weighing up to 10-14 g.

End justifies the means?

And finally, when choosing the newest varieties of raspberries, you should not chase the phenomenal yield - believe me, impressive figures are possible only with intensive cultivation technology in most cases.More often you get just enough productive, but not much different from the old-proven ones.

In addition, many new items have not been tested in the climatic conditions of Eastern Europe, many are just a bubble inflated by advertising. Many foreign forms, advertised as a miracle of selection, in fact turned out to be unremarkable samples.

Many did not pass a long test in their homeland, and after a few years they lose varietal qualities - about the problem of the so-called. exaggeration has been known for a long time, as well as about the problem of gullibility of citizens who take advertising at face value. No, this is not a call to use only Russian or Ukrainian raspberries in production or on the site - this is at least not advisable, you can skip extremely interesting options. On the contrary, you need to look for promising samples - but among the proven, well-known, worthy places in the sun of your garden, farm plantation, worthy of our attention. A generous harvest!
