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 associated with 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 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 surpass 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 best raspberry varieties according to gardeners' reviews

The best remontant varieties of raspberries

Polka 250 (for one year old seedling in a bag with wet moss) A remontant dessert variety of Polish selection. Sprawling bush, 1.6 - 1.8 m high, forms little root growth, gives up to 10 replacement shoots. Shoots are strong, do not bend during fruiting, covered with small, thornless thorns. The berries are dark red, rounded-oblong, with an average weight of 5-6 g, sweet taste, with a pronounced bright aroma, well stored and transported. The yield of one bush with proper care exceeds 4 kg. Berries do not crumble, are transported, due to dry separation, they are ideal in freezing. Shows high resistance to gray rot and spider mites, but susceptible to cancer of the measles system. It has low winter hardiness, but with complete mowing of shoots, this disadvantage is not of paramount importance. In arid climates, it behaves badly. This remontant variety of raspberries received good reviews from gardeners in the Rostov region and the Moscow region. Main pluses: excellent taste high yield small thorns Minuses: requires careful maintenance, does not tolerate drought susceptibility to root cancer

9.8 / 10 Rating Reviews The most delicious remontant berry. In regions with harsh winters, it is best to cut flush with the ground and mulch well.

Bryansk miracle 270 (for one year old seedling in a bag with wet moss) Repaired raspberry variety for commercial purposes and personal use. It is late in terms of ripening. 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. The garter is done only in windy areas. Also, due to the long side shoots, the garter contributes to better ventilation and illumination of the lower tier. Berries of classic red color, cylindrical, elongated, up to 3 - 4 cm long, weighing from 5 - 7 to 11 - 20 g. Average yield - 3 kg per bush. The taste is sweet with sourness. The palatability rating is good and excellent. The berries are dense, store well and tolerate transportation. In order for the bush to realize its potential yield, the lower buds are removed, accelerating the ripening of the upper ones and promoting the formation of larger berries. It prefers light fertile soils; on heavy loams, the yield decreases sharply. Average winter hardiness. In winter, it is recommended to mow the shoots to the ground, since the stump left takes away strength from the rhizome and reduces winter hardiness. The variety does not perform well in arid regions. Recommended for the Moscow region and the Central strip. Main pluses: high yield few thorns moderate root growth Minuses: susceptibility to disease with a lack of lighting, the berries turn out sour

9.7 / 10 Rating Reviews This variety of raspberries fell in love with the late ripening, when only apples were left in the garden. With good care and proper fit, there are no problems with it.

Orange miracle 250 (for one year old seedling in a bag with wet moss) Repaired variety with orange berries. The bush is medium-sized, up to 1.7 m high, compact. Shoots are erect, heavily spiked, fragile and can break off under the weight of the berries. The formation of fruit branches is active and covers 2/3 of the length of the shoot. The bush forms up to 7 replacement shoots and gives a lot of growth. The berries are cone-shaped, with a slightly pointed apex, dense, even, up to 4 cm long and weighing 6 - 12 g. They have a delicate aroma and sweet taste with a slight sourness. The sugar content depends on the soil and climatic conditions of cultivation and the level of agricultural technology. The berries are well transported; when overripe, they remain on the branches. The yield from one bush reaches 3 kg, while before frost the variety manages to give 70 - 100% of the potential yield. There is a high resistance to pests and an average - to diseases. Dessert berry taste and good transportability make the variety versatile. The variety has shown itself well in the Moscow and Rostov regions, it is recommended for the Central strip, the Urals and Western Siberia. When grown in an annual culture (cutting on a stump in winter), there is no risk of freezing of the shoots. Main pluses: high and stable yield large berry with excellent taste does not crumble Minuses: many thorns brittle shoots need a garter

9.7 / 10 Rating Reviews The best sort of remontant raspberry for the Moscow region, in my opinion. The berry is tasty and very beautiful, ripens quickly. If you cut off the unripe berries along with the stalk, then they ripen perfectly.

Hercules 450 (for a 2 year old seedling in a container) Repaired commercial grade. The bush is 1.6 - 1.8 m high. The shoots are erect, with rigid thorns along the entire length, strong and do not require support. Lateral branching is abundant, shoots are weak (up to 3 - 4 replacement shoots). The variety tolerates thickened plantings well, does not require frequent thinning. Ruby berries, in the shape of a truncated cone, dense, weighing from 6 - 10 to 15 g, with a pronounced aroma. The taste is sweet and sour, refreshing, but in cold weather the sourness is more pronounced. The yield from one bush reaches 4 kg. Differs in high resistance to diseases (including viral) and pests, drought-resistant and winter-hardy. Waterlogging spoils the taste of the berry, making it watery. With a lack of heat and lighting during the ripening period, the berries turn out to be sour, they are good in compotes and jam. This variety of raspberries has adapted well in the Moscow region, the Middle Belt and the Urals, showing stability and unpretentiousness. In regions with cold rains in the second half of summer, it is impossible to get a high-quality berry without additional measures. Main pluses: large-fruited strong shoots that can withstand the stress of the crop record yield disease and pest resistance high winter hardiness and drought resistance Minuses: average tasting rating of berries numerous sharp thorns

9.5 / 10 Rating Reviews For beginners, this raspberry is the easiest to care for in comparison with other remontant varieties, top dressing and a well-chosen site, it is possible to get delicious berries.

Firebird 220 (for one year old seedling in a bag with wet moss) Repaired grade for small areas. Gardeners appreciate it for its excellent taste. In terms of yield, transportability and size it loses to other commercial varieties. More often grown for personal use. The bushes are compact, up to 2 m high, forming 5 - 8 replacement shoots. Shoots are covered with soft and thin thorns, to a lesser extent on the upper part. A garter to the trellis is required. Bright red berries of a conical shape with a blunt top, glossy, drupes are large, dense, weighing 4 - 6 g. The yield per bush is 2 - 2.5 kg. Ripe berry does not crumble. If the berries are picked regularly, avoiding overripening, then the harvest is well transported. This raspberry shows good results in the southern regions, but due to insufficient heat resistance it needs mulching and shading. In the northern regions, it manages to realize only 70% of the potential yield. Main pluses: sweet juicy berry does not crumble disease resistance Minuses: sensitivity to heat and drought

9.5 / 10 Rating Reviews An excellent dessert berry, it does not prick strongly, so the collection of berries is without negative. The care is the same as for other remontant raspberries.

The best classic raspberries

Kuzmin's news 250 (for one year old seedling in a bag with wet moss) An old classic mid-season raspberry variety that does not lose its popularity. Grown for fresh consumption and processing, not suitable for commercial purposes. Bushes are tall, from 2 to 2.5 m, erect, slightly spreading, they form few root suckers. Gives few replacement shoots. Shoots are arched, drooping. Thorns are long and thin (shorter and thicker towards the apex), cover all shoots, but their number is average. The berries are oblong, dyed red, with an average weight of 2 - 5 g, with a weak aroma. The taste is excellent, but the berries are not suitable for transportation and storage. When ripe, they are easily separated from the stalk, but do not crumble when overripe. On average, 1.5 - 2 kg can be harvested from one bush. In favorable years, repeated fruiting is possible on young shoots. The variety is not picky about soil types and care, but has a low drought tolerance. In the absence of watering, the beginning of fruiting is delayed by 2 - 3 weeks. Poorly tolerates drafts and is susceptible to viral diseases.In general, the variety is characterized as the most hardy and is recommended for "lazy" and inexperienced gardeners. It is grown in all regions of Russia, but is of particular value for the Central belt, the Urals and Western Siberia. Main pluses: high winter hardiness reference berry taste little root growth unpretentiousness Minuses: medium-sized berries average yield susceptibility to viral diseases

9.5 / 10 Rating Reviews The best raspberry variety for Siberia, for fresh consumption. I have 2 bushes planted especially for children. The overgrowth does not torment, I also don’t fiddle with shelter.

The bush is powerful, 2 - 2.3 m high. 8 - 10 replacement shoots are formed, but the bush remains compact and does not fall apart. Young shoots without thorns, on old ones - in small numbers. It is prone to strong branching of fruit branches: up to 4 - 5 orders of magnitude. Intensive development of root growth. The main fruiting is on last year's shoots, but under favorable conditions, a second wave of fruiting is possible at the tops of the young growth. Amber-yellow years broadly conical with a blunt apex, up to 4 cm long and weighing 8 - 10 g. The yield per bush exceeds 4 kg. Due to poor transportability, they are used only for personal use. In the middle lane, it shows insufficient winter hardiness and requires additional protection. Shoots are flexible and bend easily for winter shelter. Main pluses: dessert taste of berries large-fruited rare, small thorns Minuses: average winter hardiness tendency to shedding poor transportability a lot of root growth

9.5 / 10 Rating Reviews I keep several bushes of this raspberry as a treat. The variety is appreciated for its excellent taste and beautiful berry. Not suitable for sale, processing and freezing.

Patricia 200 (for one year old seedling in a bag with wet moss) A classic variety of large-fruited raspberries. Sprawling bush, 1.5 - 1.8 m high, annually gives 6 - 10 replacement shoots. Forms a lot of root growth, which should be removed in a timely manner. A garter to the trellis is required. Shoots of the first year without thorns. At the end of the season, formative pruning of the shoots is required. Fruiting begins in mid-June and lasts until mid-August. The berries are bright red, cylindrical or irregular in shape, with a velvety bloom, with an average weight of 5 - 6 g (up to 10 - 12 g). Drupes are large, fit tightly. The aroma is pronounced.

Main pluses: high winter hardiness berries contain few seeds dessert taste long-term fruiting Minuses: berries are prone to deformation susceptibility to disease not suitable for transportation and long-term storage a lot of root growth

9.4 / 10 Rating Reviews Berries with a very delicate pulp, ideally: pick and eat immediately. With the harvest, raspberries cannot be postponed - overripe berries mold and crumble.

The best standard raspberry varieties

Tarusa 300 (for one year old seedling in a bag with wet moss) Standard raspberry with late ripening. In one season, a branchy tree grows up to 1.8 m high, with thick shoots on a trunk. Shoots are elastic and do not need a garter, there are no thorns. The variety branches beautifully and does not need special labor-intensive pruning. Gives 3 - 4 replacement shoots annually. No more than 10 shoots are left in the bush. Berries are burgundy-red, sweet and sour, conical or irregular, up to 10 - 15 g, dense and transportable, have a pronounced aroma and are good for processing. Small seeds are almost not felt. Productivity is high: up to 4 kg per bush. Despite the high declared winter hardiness, freezing is observed in the windy area in snowless winters. Grown from the Moscow region to the Urals. In rainy summers, the berries are watery and sour. The taste is strongly influenced by grooming and feeding. Main pluses: high winter hardiness high yield resistance to diseases and pests decorativeness lack of thorns Minuses: average taste inability to bend shoots to the ground for cover

9.7 / 10 Rating Reviews The shoots at Tarusa are powerful, but under the weight of the crop they still sag and can break, so I use a trellis. Good yield, we use it for making jam and jam - it turns out very fragrant.

Monomakh's hat 270 (for a one year old seedling with a bag of wet moss) Standard raspberry variety with remontant fruiting. The bush is up to 1.5 m high, forms up to 5 powerful branched shoots with drooping tops. The lower part of the shoots has hard thorns. Due to the weak formation of shoots, cuttings are more often used for reproduction. Berries of juicy red color, weighing from 7 to 20 g, pyramidal with a blunt top, sweet with a slight sourness and bright aroma, leveled and mouth-watering. When assembled, they do not fall apart, are suitable for storage and transportation. An average of 4 - 5 kg is harvested from one bush. Reacts painfully to interruptions in watering, tying small berries. The variety has an average winter hardiness.

This raspberry variety is good for the southern regions. In the middle lane, it is grown in an annual crop, when in autumn the shoots are cut to ground level. Main pluses: dessert taste of berries high yield Minuses: susceptibility to viral diseases low drought tolerance

9.3 / 10 Rating Reviews Dessert-tasting berries, neat, fruitful bushes. Raspberries require attention, but this is for all large-fruited varieties.

Studying the varietal diversity in the catalogs of online stores or nurseries, one should not forget about acclimatization and varietal testing in new climatic conditions for the variety. 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.

With proper care, modern raspberry varieties yield 5 kg per bush, and in some years up to 7-9 kg, one hundred square meters of raspberries yield 150-200 kg! These are quite real numbers, the point is only in the correct variety and competent care. To our happiness and thanks to our leading breeders, Kazakov I.V. and Kichine V.V., we have an excellent selection of raspberry varieties, including remontant and large-fruited. Raspberry planting technology has also been researched up and down, you just have to follow simple recommendations.

Description

The table we have compiled gives a brief description of the variety. All modern varieties have excellent taste, yield and size! First of all, remember that the best varieties remain fruitful and give good quality berries to those regions in which they are zoned, so there is little sense in taking the best varieties for the Moscow region and growing them in Krasnodar. For the same reason, there is no special sense in foreign varieties of raspberries, our table contains only a few of these, otherwise, Russian varieties are wonderful, verified by personal experience. Read more about how we compose our tables and ratings here.

Berry weight traditional varieties from 4gr.Relatively recently, large-fruited varieties of raspberries have appeared, with a berry weight of more than 6g, in some cases the weight of berries reaches 12g. Read more about large-fruited varieties at the bottom of the page

Repaired varieties reproduce on both annual and biennial shoots. An important advantage of remontant varieties is that there are no pests on them. There are also disadvantages. More about remontant varieties.

Fruiting period At the end of June in the Moscow region, berries of early raspberry varieties ripen, in mid-July - late ones. Repaired varieties begin to bear fruit from the beginning of August until frost. Thus, choosing 5-6 varieties, you can provide yourself with fresh raspberries for 3 months, from the end of June to September.

How much to plant, how to plant For a family of 3-4 people, it is enough to plant half a hundred square meters of raspberries, which will accommodate 20-30 bushes. Raspberries are generally an unpretentious shrub and care for it is simple, but care is still necessary! The difference in yield can be up to 10 times, and it all depends on you. Read our article on how to plant raspberries correctly.

Large-fruited raspberry varieties

For a very long time, the largest were raspberry varieties with a berry weight of up to 4.5 g, but, relatively recently, large-fruited raspberry varieties with a berry weight of 6.0 g and above appeared.

The history of large-fruited raspberries began in 1961, when in Scotland, the famous English breeder Derek Jennings discovered a mutant of the Molling Jewel variety, widespread in those years, with modified berries. After working with this plant, the first large-fruited raspberry varieties were obtained. All large-fruited raspberries known so far come only from the Molling Juel mutant, and their whole history is about forty years old. The large-fruited raspberry is due to the L1 gene, which was found in the same plant. Work on Soviet large-fruited varieties began in the 70s, today, the most popular varieties are: Hercules, Yellow Giant, Golden Autumn, Hercules, Orange Miracle, Atlant, Patricia, Tarusa, Pride of Russia.The mass of their berries reaches 7-11.5 g, which is two to three times higher than the large-fruited not only of the best parental forms, but also of the most common varieties of raspberries.

Large-fruited raspberries may not grow everywhere. Large-fruited varieties can withstand frosts down to -30, but in northern places in the Kostroma or Tver regions they lack warmth, their shoots and leaves do not ripen until frost, there is not enough sugar in the berries, although their size almost reaches the norm. The taste is rustic, so residents of the northern regions should still pay attention to traditional varieties.

In the conditions of Western and Eastern Siberia, after a safe wintering under the snow, these same large-fruited varieties of raspberries get into the local relatively warm summer conditions and in conditions of sufficient active heat during the growing season, berries of good quality are constantly obtained.

But in addition to these advantages, the L1 gene has some disadvantages. The main thing is that this gene is genetically unstable, and in a number of varieties it passes from a dominant to a recessive state, that is, mutants for this gene are regularly formed and such forms somewhat reduce their large-fruitedness. But, this is a problem and the work of nurseries, to identify low-quality seedlings. The correct seedling will grow and give large-fruited raspberries throughout its life, so the gardener should study the agricultural techniques of planting raspberries, and
do not go into the details of gene stability.

Repaired varieties

Unlike traditional varieties, which tie the harvest on 2 summer shoots, remontant varieties can produce on annual shoots. Repaired varieties can also produce in the 2nd year, but the yield of the 2nd year is significantly lower, therefore, the shoots are cut off at the end of the year. Raspberries of remontant varieties need to have time to grow the aboveground part and set fruits in 1 season, so it breeds at a later date. But, due to the fact that the shoots are trimmed annually and the shifted fruiting period, there are no pests on the berries of such raspberries, they are always clean.

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 developed varieties with a short growing season especially for the northern regions. We managed to select the best varieties of both foreign and local origin.

Apricot

This is one of the most exotic varieties of raspberries. Although the bushes grow small, they nevertheless need a garter. The berries ripen on them are medium-sized and neat, yellow in color with a pinkish tinge, they are easily separated from the fruit.
