The best foreign varieties of raspberries

You can meet raspberries in any forest where it grows in its primeval form. It is believed that wild berries are much healthier than cultivated ones. The chemical composition is saturated not only with nutrients, but also with useful substances. The healing and tonic properties of the fruits, leaves and shoots of the plant have been known since ancient times. Fresh and dried, they were used to brew a drink that increases the body's resistance, adds strength, and heals a chronic cough.

Raspberry: a description of the appearance and qualities

The name of the plant comes from the root of the word "small". The appearance of the shrub has not changed for centuries.

1. Erect shoots grow from the surface of the earth. Several stems are formed from one root. First-year shoots are herbaceous, flexible, green. From the second year they grow stiff, acquire a reddish-brown hue, acquire a different number of thorns.
2. The bush leaves are complex, five-toed. On the one hand - glossy green, on the back - light, slightly rough. The surface of the leaf plate is slightly wrinkled, the edges are lowered down.
3. The berries of a raspberry bush are a drupe, a complex fruit. The shape is round or conical. As it ripens, the color changes from greenish-white to red, maroon, lilac.

Wild raspberries are most often red or orange-yellow in color. They are much smaller in size than varietal. The weight of wild berries is about 2-2.5 grams. After a breakthrough in the field of selection, not every adult, let alone a child, will be able to answer the question of what kind of raspberry is. Modern cultural varieties include all shades of scarlet, yellow, pink, black.

With the development of science, raspberry varieties appeared that favorably differ from their forest counterparts. The improvement in taste and the race for the harvest cost the culture the loss of such qualities as frost resistance and resistance to viral diseases. The result of scientific research has led to the fact that new early raspberry varieties begin to ripen at the end of June. And modern "long-playing", as the people say, varieties sometimes bear fruit before the first snow. And others leave for the winter with fruits on the branches.

Raspberries from June to October - how much progress has come

Repaired and semi-renovated varieties of raspberries were bred by breeders relatively recently. Thanks to modern technologies, the varieties have excellent immunity to most crop diseases: anthracnose, purple spot, decay, raspberry mite. Most varieties are frost-resistant, unpretentious to care for. They tolerate drought and form an ovary in all conditions.With the overwhelming number of positive characteristics, early remontant varieties of raspberries have a significant drawback - the plants lose their yield after 2-3 years of active fruiting. Therefore, they need to periodically replace obsolete bushes with new ones.

Austrian early - dessert with raspberry flavor

Berries average about 4 grams, yield 2.5 - 4 kg. The plant is medium-sized, 2.5 meters tall. Requires anchoring on a support. Shows signs of renovation. The highest yield is demonstrated during the first two years. In the future, the number of fruits from the bush is sharply reduced, it is necessary to update the plantings. Frost-resistant plant, excellent resistance to crop diseases.

For industrial and horticultural cultivation - raspberry Polyana

The repairing raspberry Polyana is the result of Polish selection; it spread to Russia at the end of the 20th century. And at home in Poland, it is considered a productive and fruitful variety.

Dark red fruits of elongated ribbed shape, glossy, juicy. The mass of one berry is about 25 grams. The taste is sweet, the amount of acid is minimal. Good disease resistance. Frost resistance - medium. Plantings can be saved by fixing them closer to the soil, where they overwinter under a snow "blanket".

Domestic and foreign raspberries - the best varieties for a garden plot

Raspberry bushes of early and mid-early ripening period were bred by both Russian and foreign breeders.

Fruiting times vary, with the best early varieties starting to yield in June. It is more rational to simultaneously cultivate several different varieties of raspberries. First, it will make it possible to extend the harvest. Secondly, for this crop, cross-pollination only improves yield and quality indicators, and increases the life of fruiting bushes.

Repaired raspberry varieties are gradually gaining popularity among domestic gardeners. They are distinguished by their unpretentiousness, high productivity and resistance to diseases. We have selected varieties that have held the title of the best of the best for several years.

One of the most popular garden berries is raspberry. In the CIS, preference is still given to traditional varieties, although, for example, in Europe, Canada and the United States, up to 90% of plantings are remontant varieties. Their main difference is that they begin to bear fruit in the first year and allow you to harvest a bountiful harvest twice a season - in summer and autumn. Since most of the remontant raspberries come from warmer countries, in the middle lane, before the onset of cold weather, the berry simply does not have time to fully ripen. Recently, however, Russian breeders have bred varieties with a short growing season specifically for the northern regions. We managed to select the best varieties of both foreign and local origin.

Early raspberry varieties

There are many early types of raspberries, it is impossible and unnecessary to pay attention to each of them in one article.

Consider several varieties of frost-resistant, well-established in the middle lane. Of course, the most interesting are high-yielding, large-fruited, resistant to diseases, pests and drought.

Here are brief characteristics of early raspberry varieties with descriptions and photographs: Here are the traditional raspberry varieties - "raspberry" color. About the ripening time of yellow, black, and remontant varieties - information in the relevant sections of the article.

So:

Bryansk cascade

Medium spreading bushes of medium height also give berries of medium weight - up to 2.5 g of a blunt rounded shape (pictured above).

The variety does not require special care, but the yield is good, with a standard planting scheme - up to 1 kilogram per 1 m2.

Balm

Shoots up to 2 meters high with a waxy bloom, low prickly, berries weighing 2.5-3 g, dark shade. Yields a yield of 0.6-0.8 kg per 1m2. The variety is not afraid of spider mites and purple spot.

Novokitaevskaya

The variety was entered in the State Register in 1974, obtained by crossing the varieties Kitaevskaya and Novost Kuzmina. If you pay due attention to Novokitaevskaya raspberries on your site, then the yield can be raised to 4 kg from one bush. Blunt-pointed berries weighing up to 2.5 g have good consumer qualities.

Meteor

The early variety among the early ones, obtained as a result of crossing the raspberries Kostinbrodskaya and Novost Kuzmina. Berries weighing up to 3g. Harvest from one bush - 1.5-3 kg of sweet and sour fruits. 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.

While early varieties of raspberries usually satisfy appetite, mid-ripening berries are mostly processed into 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.

Modest

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 fully 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.

Repair 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 small 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 a 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 forming 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 raspberry are obtained with excellent color.
5. Yellow berry varieties tolerate cold weather better.
6. This species does not mature 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, high-yielding variety (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.

Orange miracle

The name of the remontant variety is true. Long and dense, weighing up to 6g, berries are perfectly transported, from one small bush with many thorns, more than 2 kilograms of berries are removed. It is recommended to tie the plant up.

Runaway

Medium height, up to 2 meters, slightly spreading bush, straight shoots, almost no thorns. Berries of apricot color, weighing up to 3 g, have a delicate aroma and taste. The yield of the variety is 2.5 kg from one plant. The disadvantage is poor transportability.

Golden autumn

Repaired large-fruited (up to 7g), beautifully shaped, dense, with a delicate raspberry aroma. The name "Golden Autumn"? In the Leningrad region, the autumn harvest from a bush is 2.5-3 kg.

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 - a 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.

Northwest growers prefer the American-bred Cumberland, which looks little different from other black varieties. Its peculiarity is its ability to reproduce vegetatively.

Other recognized middle lane varieties are:

Ember

Early, with firm and sweet pulp, high-yielding, berries weighing 2 g. It tolerates frost well, is not afraid of diseases and insects. Productivity in the range of 1.5 - 2.0 kg per plant;

Airlie Cumberland

Early maturing, similar to Cumberland in many ways. Berries are black, weighing 1.6 g of a sugary sweet taste, they are not pecked by birds. The yield is high;

Bristol

A late variety of black raspberries, considered one of the best varieties, large-fruited, sweet berries, recognized by our gardeners as high-yielding. The disadvantage is that it does not tolerate winter cold.
