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, seizing 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 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 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.

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.

Raspberry classification

Before considering the most valuable and interesting varieties of raspberries with photos and descriptions, we propose to understand their diversity and classification. This will help you choose planting material based on economic needs, personal preferences, and climatic features of the region.

By the way of fruiting

Depending on which shoots - the first or second year of the growing season - fruits appear, summer and remontant raspberries are distinguished.

Summer variety has a two-year development cycle.In the first year of the growing season, flower buds are laid in the axils of the leaves, in the second, fruit twigs grow from them. The plant begins to bear fruit in June, extending the yield by 1–1.5 months. The main problem, especially in regions with cold winters, is to keep the first-year shoots from freezing.

On the lips of summer fruitful varieties of raspberries - Gusar, Maroseyka, Lashka, Octavia, Glen Ample, Kaliningradskaya.

Repair raspberry, in contrast to the summer, the full growing cycle from regrowth of young shoots to fruiting takes one year. If you keep the fruit-bearing branches, the next year it will give two harvests - in the summer on the old and in the fall on the young shoots. In the middle lane, it is recommended to grow it in an annual crop, getting one, but a bountiful harvest. Repaired cultivars are large-fruited, high-yielding, subject to complete pruning for the winter, so they do not need shelter.

The most popular remontant varieties: Brilliant, Hercules, Daughter of Hercules, Eurasia, Polka, Polana, Ruby necklace, Indian summer, Penguin.

Repaired Raspberry Ruby Necklace

It is interesting! The old Russian variety Novost Kuzmina, developed at the beginning of the 20th century, still remains the standard of raspberry taste. On its basis, more than a dozen new large-fruited cultivars have been bred, including Indian Summer, Bryansk, Vera, Korallovaya, Malakhovka, Meteor, Solnyshko.

By maturity

The earliest varieties of raspberries begin to ripen in the second half of June, and later remontant ones delight with juicy berries until frost.

By berry size

Distinguish between traditional and large-fruited varieties of raspberries:

• A common raspberry weighs 2.5–4 g and has a sweet taste. The advantage of traditional varieties is their hardiness and unpretentiousness.

An example is Novosti Kuzmina, Beglyanka, Meteor, Kaliningradskaya.
• Increasingly, gardeners want to grow large-fruited varieties. They have a lot of advantages - large berries up to 15 g with a delicate taste and aroma, high yield, density and transportability.
