The best sweet raspberries

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.

When growing raspberries, each summer resident takes into account many factors that affect productivity. But in order to obtain a high yield, in addition to providing optimal conditions for active growth, it is necessary to select the best varieties of raspberries. It is advisable to choose planting material in accordance with climatic and regional conditions, and it is also necessary to carefully study the properties of each selected variety.

Today, in specialized stores, in spontaneous markets, in gardening enterprises, you can see a large number of seedlings. But you should pay attention to the fact that the varieties are divided into categories of cold resistance. More thermophilic raspberries will not yield crops in colder regions, even under greenhouse conditions. What popular varieties of raspberries are recommended by summer residents and gardeners for growing in a particular region?

The most popular raspberry varieties

The hearts of most gardeners and gardeners are conquered by medium varieties.They are considered versatile and can produce an average yield and bear fruit under moderate conditions, withstanding even slight cold. As summer residents note, such a raspberry fully satisfies human needs. Popular varieties of this garden plant:

• Canadian. Very sweet raspberry. Differs in a complete absence of acidity. Her berries are small, but very tasty. Each of them weighs about 9 grams. The plant itself is tall, and can reach up to 2 m in height. For one season, it can give about 7-9 kg. ripe fruits. Raspberries of the Canadian variety love moisture, but among the properties is its resistance to obedient climatic conditions. Doesn't require any special care - everything is according to the standard.
• Aboriginal. You can safely classify the best early raspberry varieties. The berry was bred by Russian breeders and is recommended for growing in moderate conditions. It does not tolerate cold well, but at the same time it can independently recover in a year by means of new shoots. The fruits of the Aboriginal variety are not large and weigh about 5 g. Large berries can weigh up to 8-9 g. The bush is defined as medium in height and does not exceed one and a half meters in height. For the season, it can give up to 6 kg. A remarkable property of the variety is that it is practically not affected by pests and diseases.

The bush grows no more than 1.5 m and gives small berries up to 4 grams. Loves moisture very much, so it should be watered thoroughly. Among the main properties is also conditional resistance to heat and extreme cold.

Productivity - 2 kg / bush The taste and aroma will always delight the summer resident. All this is quite enough to open the raspberry season.
• Alyonushka. If at the stage of selecting varieties for a summer residence there is a question about which varieties of raspberries are better to choose, many advise Alenushka. This is one of the most productive varieties. Up to 13 kg / season are harvested from this plant. As for the taste, there is a slight sourness in them. At the stage of ripeness, this is not noticed, but in the process of making jam, you need to add extra pounds of sugar. But this cannot be considered a disadvantage. Alyonushka raspberry bush can reach up to 2.5 m in height. The growing process of this raspberry requires a garter to the trellis or supports. It should be noted that the variety is resistant to many unfavorable conditions, including frosts, it does not have any problems.

In addition to the above varieties of raspberries, there are also two varieties that I would like to note: Marlboro and Taganka. In terms of properties and productivity, the Marlboro raspberry is not inferior to the Alenushka variety, and the Taganka raspberry is the best late variety. It can withstand frosts down to -20C and more.

25 Sep 2018 16:18 | No. 100 0 57 0

The berry season was successful this year. Warm spring helped raspberries to successfully enter fruiting. In winter, I did not cover my berry fields, even in Central Ukraine they overwintered well. Until June 15, I carried out top dressing with nitrogen-containing preparations, then with phosphorus, and at the end of fruiting - with potash. Fertilized exclusively on the leaf.

Patricia gives 8 kg per bush

This summer, all varieties have shown their best side, but still I want to mark the very best. Among the summer (disposable) varieties of raspberries, the beauty really pleased Patricia.

Its shoots are absolutely thornless, the average height is 150-180 cm. The average ripening period, with beautiful, very large (6-12 g) berries of light red color, attractive appearance, regular shape. One drawback — fruit transportability is weak. But the yield is very high — from 4 to 8 kg per bush. Dessert-type berries with a pleasant raspberry aroma.

Patricia has confidently won the sympathy of gardeners thanks to its surprisingly large, long berries, which can reach 5 cm.

Hit the top three and Glen Fine... This variety is mid-early summer and has no thorns either.

Fruiting begins in mid-July. You can collect 4-6 kg from one bush. The stems are powerful, absolutely without thorns, 150-180 cm high. Berries have an average weight of 5-7 g, some can reach 10 g.

Glen Fine can be grown without trellis. Possesses sufficient winter hardiness.

Pleased with the harvest Tarusaknown as the crimson tree. The height of the raspberry is 1-1.5 m. The berries are elongated, large, weighing up to 10 g, dense and withstand transportation well. The berry taste is sweet, with a pleasant raspberry aroma, juicy melting pulp and few small seeds, well suited for fresh consumption and for all types of home processing (preserves, jams, candy, drying). The Tarusa variety is called a raspberry tree for its powerfully developed shoots. Tarusa — one of the most productive. Productivity is high, and with good care and manure application, the yield doubles. Resistant to low winter temperatures.

Patricia and Tarusa give the harvest together, fruiting lasts no more than 2 weeks.

Glen Magna for the southern regions

I cannot but recall the best varieties of summer "prickly" raspberries. After all, to a good grade — thorns are not a hindrance. These include Lyashka, Cascade Delight and Glen Magna.

Lyashka — mid-early grade. Fruiting begins on June 5-10. Stems are rigid, bow-shaped at the top of the shoots. The spines are numerous, but small, not very aggressive. Two-year-old shoots produce a large number of fruiting shoots of medium length. The fruits are very large, elongated, red, slightly pubescent, tasty. The average weight of berries is 5-8 g.

Cascade Delight is a novelty of American breeding. A mid-late variety of summer fruiting type, has a powerful root system, which allows it to easily endure both rainy and dry summers. Therefore, for the southern regions, where in recent years there has been an abnormal heat without rain, this variety is suitable. The average weight of berries is 5-7 g.

The raspberry variety Glen Magna is also not afraid of drought or rain. The berries are cone-shaped, fleshy. Well suited for the market. The average weight of fruits is 5-7 g. Fruiting is extended from June 20 to July 10-15, that is, you can feast on delicious berries for three whole weeks.

Of the remontant varieties, I want to note Brusvyanu, Cap of Monomakh, Penguin, Zyugan and Eric.

WHEN IT IS NOT WORTH TO CUT

Remontant varieties bear fruit from the end of July. — early August to September. It all depends on the weather. So, for example, Erica pleases with the first berries on August 10th. It belongs to the later varieties. Fruiting until mid-September, and sometimes until the end of the month. By the way, Zyugana also bears fruit with might and main. Only have time to pick berries.

In care, summer and remontant raspberries are practically the same, although there are some peculiarities. Fertilize all raspberries without exception with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium on the leaf. I bring in organic matter when planting. Also, do not forget about pest and disease control. By the way, the remontant raspberries on my site practically do not get sick and are not damaged by any beetles. It's just that its developmental phases do not coincide with the developmental phases of pests. Whereas summer raspberries get full, but if spraying with fungicides and insecticides is carried out on time, nothing and no one can affect the harvest.

There are also differences in pruning. Summer raspberries are pruned immediately after fruiting. Keep in mind that she will give birth on 2 year old wood. Be sure to feed with potassium-phosphorus fertilizers so that replacement sprouts develop well. Repaired raspberries should never be cut off immediately after fruiting. You need to wait until the sap flow stops, that is, all the nutrients from the shoots will go down to the roots. This usually happens at the end of October. — November.
