Standard raspberries the best varieties

One of the most delicious and vitamin-rich berries in our garden is raspberry. Its yield depends on the right variety. Standard raspberries are the best contender for growing in the country.

Benefits of standard raspberries

What kind of wild plant is it - standard raspberry. The stem is the trunk, from the roots to the top, of the tree. The raspberry tree is not called a specific variety of berry bush, but the peculiarity of its cultivation. The length of the shoots of this bush reaches two meters.

Standard raspberries can reach up to two meters

The raspberry tree has some advantages over other berries:

1. Since it is erect and tall, its berries ripen well. It is very convenient to remove them;
2. Bushes require minimal attention and care;
3. They tolerate cold weather well, so fruiting continues until autumn;
4. The stem, that is, the trunk of the raspberry is thick and strong. He does not need additional supports. During fruiting, it tolerates well the entire weight of the berries on it;
5. The shrub consists of several branches that yield a crop, respectively, there are more of them than on ordinary raspberries. The fruits ripen large and sweet. They are not watery, so they are well stored and transported.

Standard raspberry varieties

Raspberry trees are grown only from standard varieties. The most common ones are:

Tarusa - one of the best and favorite mid-late varieties of standard raspberries. It has the highest yield, and berries of this size reach 14 grams each.

After formative pinching, shoots are no longer pruned throughout the life of the bush. Standard raspberry tree Tarusa two meters long with powerful stems. There are no thorns on its shoots, which makes picking berries easier.

The bush tolerates well even 30 degrees frost and is resistant to various diseases.

Bogatyr - a crimson tree, with long and strong branches, on which there are no thorns. Its fruits are sweet and sour and large. This variety is disease resistant. Possesses good keeping quality and transportability.

Sturdy - a variety with a strong root system. Therefore, in the case of a transplant, it will take root well and quickly in a new area. Those gardeners who breed raspberry trees for the purpose of selling just such a variety.

Its berries are dark crimson in color, not large in size, in the shape of a cone;

Story - the most productive type of standard raspberry. On average, one bush per season can produce up to 12 kg. berries. The weight of one fruit reaches 15-20 grams. Berries of standard raspberries A fairy tale of sweet and sour taste, rich raspberry color with a pleasant aroma.

It reproduces well by basal processes, the root system is strong, so the young grow well and quickly take root;

Galaxy - the bush is not too sprawling, without thorns. It has large and fragrant fruits, due to its structure, stick to the stalk and do not crumble even when ripe.

No less promising varieties of standard raspberries:

Glen Ample - a plant with erect shoots. The berries are scarlet, rounded and elongated.Bushes adapt well to different types of soil and climatic conditions.

Penguin - mid-season shrub with a height of a little more than one meter. The fruits are pale red in color, with a characteristic sourness.

Giant - one and a half meter shrub that does not have thorns. Its berries are large, sweet, deep red. They are well stored and transported.

Care and cultivation of standard raspberries

Before you start growing a raspberry tree on your site, you need to study all the features of planting and care. After all, it depends on what the harvest of standard raspberries, the quality and quantity of berries will be.

Young crimson trees need to root well after planting. And the slightest frost is destructive for them. Therefore, seedlings of standard raspberry are planted exclusively in spring. When the weather stabilizes and the air temperature will be more than +15 degrees.
The middle of spring is the best time for planting. Sap flow in young stands is not yet so active.

If you still have to make landings in the fall, then no later than the end of September. Having planted them, the ground around the bush must be earthed up to the height of the lower buds in order to protect them from frost.

The site for the future raspberry tree should be sunny. The raspberry tree is afraid of waterlogging. If the earth is damp all the time, its root system will rot and the bush will die. Therefore, you need to take into account the depth of groundwater, they should be no closer than 1 meter. Otherwise, you will need to raise the bed by filling up the earth.

Soil preparation

It is better if alfalfa, mustard or peas with beans were the predecessor of standard raspberries on the site. The soil is enriched with trace elements, nitrogen and organic matter. It is important to know that every 10 years the raspberry tree needs to be transplanted to a new place. The previous bed by this time has already been depleted, and it will take at least 5 years to restore it.

Preparing the soil for planting raspberries

Bush holes are prepared in advance. If the raspberry plant is planted in the spring, then in the fall you need to dig holes. During autumn planting, cook them in 1.5-2 months.

The soil for standard raspberry bushes should be loose, fertilized and moderately moist. If it is acidic, then wood ash or lime should be added.

The size of the planting pit depends on the size of the root system of the seedling. But, on average, they are half a meter deep and 50 cm wide. The distance between the bushes is 1 meter, and the row spacing is 2 meters.

Raspberry planting rules

Before planting, it is recommended to soak the roots in a solution of mullein with clay for a couple of minutes. And at the bottom of the hole, you need to add organic fertilizer, ash, compost.

Deepen young raspberry bushes to the level at which they grew before transplanting. After placing them in the hole, gently spread the root and sprinkle it with earth.

After planting, scatter organic fertilizer around the seedling and pour 5-7 liters of water under each bush.

When planting standard raspberries, gardeners use two methods - bush and tape. When preparing a bed for tape planting, you should dig a continuous trench and plant bushes in it. The bush method involves digging individual holes.

Watering

Water the raspberry trees once a week for 10 liters. under each bush. But, it is necessary to take into account the weather conditions. If it is damp, watering is limited so that the roots do not rot. Watering is especially important during flowering and the formation of ovaries on the bushes.

Bush formation

The formation of a bush can be started within 15 days after planting. By this time, it will take root well and take root.

The top of the seedling is cut off by 15 cm, after which lateral buds will begin to wake up on it. Side shoots will form from them.

In the first year of planting, standard raspberries will not please with rich fruiting. With the arrival of autumn, all the shoots on which the berries were needed must be cut off. Leave only young shoots. In the spring, they are pinched to achieve branching of the secondary branches.

After the pruning is done, the bushes need to be treated with a special Bordeaux solution. This is done as a preventive measure to protect the raspberry from pests and various diseases.

Raspberries are the most delicious and healthy berry that you can grow in your garden without any problems. The main thing is to choose a variety and grow it correctly. Recently, many gardeners have recommended choosing standard varieties. What is standard raspberry and how to grow it, this article will tell.

Botanical features

Recently, standard berry crops among gardeners in our country are becoming more and more popular, while displacing ordinary forms of raspberries. And this is despite the fact that the domestic gardener got to know them relatively recently. In a short time, the varieties of the standard type have established themselves as promising and with high productivity.

In terms of placement on a garden plot, the bole is the most effective and correct solution, since it takes up a minimum of space.

Standard raspberries are bushes that can grow up to two meters in height. At the same time, special pruning is not needed here, as well as the use of additional supports for tying up shoots. On the stems of standard varieties, a bountiful harvest does not lead to bending of the branches.

The most important feature of such a berry crop is its very high productivity. Large berries are formed on the raspberry bushes, which have an excellent appearance. They combine a pleasant raspberry aroma and good taste. The fruit is also characterized by excellent transportability. It is achieved by the fact that the berries have a fairly dense consistency and do not crumble from the branches when ripe.

As a result, possessing such obvious advantages, standard types of raspberries are very popular. After all, they are very productive, take up little valuable space in the garden and are easy to care for. Therefore, even an amateur can achieve an excellent result here.

Promising varieties

Naturally, not all representatives of standard varieties can boast of super-productivity. Among them there are also plants that have different yields. Therefore, if you want to get a really bountiful harvest, you need to give preference to promising varieties of standard raspberries. These include those forms that have a fruiting period lasting from June to August. The exact ripening period of berries for each species will be different, but it will still be within the agreed range. It should be remembered that the timing of the ripening of the crop may vary depending on climate conditions, soil characteristics and weather characteristics of the summer.

The best standard varieties are those that, in addition to high fertility, are also characterized by good resistance to insects and diseases. In winter, they are capable of tolerating negative temperatures of flesh up to -20-24 ° C without shelter.

The most promising and profitable varieties of standard raspberries include:

• Tarusa. Medium late and high yielding variety. The plant is a bush consisting of powerful stems that grow up to 2 meters. There are no thorns on the shoots, which makes picking berries easier. The fruits weigh up to 15 g and are elongated. Their color is bright crimson. They are also covered with a waxy coating. Tarusa is a winter-hardy plant. The bushes are able to withstand temperatures down to -30 ° C. The good resistance of raspberries to various diseases has been described.
• Story. Very productive species. More than 12 kg of berries can be harvested from one bush. The weight of one raspberry is about 20 g. The fruits have good transportability and taste. At the same time, the plant has excellent resistance to diseases and negative temperatures.The bush forms shoots and a sufficiently powerful root system, which makes it easier to grow in the garden.
• Galaxy. The bush is characterized by an average growth rate. It is medium spreading and does not form thorns. On the shoots, large berries develop with a mass of about 10-18 g. The variety is distinguished by good winter hardiness.
• Strong guy. The plant forms upright bushes, consisting of thornless shoots. Dark crimson berries are formed on them, which have a conical shape. Their weight is 4-5 g.
• Bogatyr. The bush forms well-developed shoots with no thorns. Dessert-type fruits. They are tapered and large in size. Good winter hardiness of the variety, its transportability and resistance to various pathogenic microorganisms were noted.

Also, the following varieties can be attributed to the promising forms of the standard type:

• Penguin. This plant forms medium-sized and straight shoots, the height of which does not exceed 1.3 m. The berries are reddish-pink in color. Their pulp gives off a slight sourness.
• Giant. The bush consists of upright thornless shoots. In height, it can grow up to 1.8 m. Large berries with a weight of about 8-12 g are formed on the stems. They have a sweet taste and a bright red color. They also tolerate transportation well.
• Glen Ample. The plant is characterized by strong growth and erect shoots. They form bright red berries, which have an elongated and rounded shape. The variety is characterized by excellent adaptation to various climatic and soil growing conditions in Russia.

All of these varieties, in addition to the characteristics described above, are high-yielding. For this, they are appreciated by gardeners. But in order to achieve abundant fruiting, you need to know how their planting and care is carried out.

Landing technology

Standard raspberries, like regular varieties, can be planted in spring or autumn. If planting is carried out in the spring, then it is better to carry it out in mid-April. At this time, active sap flow in the seedlings is not yet observed.

In the fall, raspberry bushes should be planted in early October. This can be done in the last decade of September. In this case, the hilling of the soil to the lower buds of the shoots is necessarily carried out.

Standard varieties can be planted in a belt or bush method. Landing is carried out using the following technology:

• the soil under the raspberry tree should be loose. It should be moderately moist and rich in nutrients. In the presence of acidic soils, lime should be added to them by digging. About 03, -0.5 kg of lime is added per square meter;
• preparation of landing pits is carried out in advance, depending on the time of disembarkation. For spring planting, the pits are prepared in the fall, and for the fall - in 1.5 months. The holes should have dimensions of 50x50 cm. Their depth may vary. It depends on the volume of the root system of the seedling;
• the distance between adjacent plants should be at least 0.8 m, and between rows - 1.8-2 m;
• with tape planting, trenches of standard depth are formed;
• before planting, the roots of the seedlings should be dipped in a clay mash. Experts recommend adding mullein solution to it;
• before planting, you need to pour humus mixed with wood ash into the planting trenches and pits;
• seedlings in holes or trenches should be placed at the same level at which they were grown in nurseries;
• after planting, the soil around the bushes must be mulched with humus and watered. Each seedling should use about five liters of water.

Raspberry bushes grown using this technology will bear fruit for 15 years. However, experienced gardeners recommend, in order to avoid a decrease in yield, to renew the raspberry tree every 10 years. Also important in terms of getting an excellent harvest will be properly organized care of standard raspberries.

Care instructions

Standard raspberry, having a high yield, needs competent execution of the necessary agrotechnical techniques.Caring for the bushes consists in strict adherence to the rules of the technology for growing this berry crop. The list of these rules includes the following points:

• when the bush is well rooted and is preparing to enter the fruiting period, its entire aerial part must be treated with Topaz. It should be diluted in water (10 ml in 10 l). Such treatment will prevent the development of infection of bacterial and fungal genesis on the bush;
• in the last month of spring (in the middle of the month), raspberry bushes should be sprayed with an antiparasitic solution. It is prepared on the basis of the “BI-58” preparation, which is diluted in 10 liters of water according to the required proportion;
• during the period of active fruiting, raspberry varieties of the standard type need regular and fairly abundant irrigation-type events.

With the help of spring treatment of raspberry with special preparations for preventive purposes, it is possible to prevent the development of such dangerous diseases as gray rot, leaf spot, anthracnose, septoria and rust on the bushes. In addition to the preparations described above, you can use a 3% Bordeaux mixture. Repeated preventive treatment with it is carried out in the middle of autumn.

To obtain a bountiful harvest of standard raspberries in the summer, watering should be carried out once a week. Under each adult bush, it is necessary to pour up to 10 liters of water (according to other information - 5 liters of water). Watering is especially important during the flowering period, as well as the ripening of the berries. For standard raspberry varieties, the drip irrigation system has proven itself well. Do not forget about feeding. It is held in the spring. It is recommended to apply mineral and organic fertilizers under raspberry bushes. At the same time, if in the spring it is better to give preference to organic dressings, then in the autumn - to mineral ones. Some experts recommend adding manure or humus in October, as a preparation for the plant in the winter. At this time, 5-6 kg of top dressing should be applied per square meter. It is best to carry out such feeding in the form of mulching.

It is especially important to apply fertilizers during the stage of active growth and fruiting. Usually this period falls on the beginning of July.

In late April or early May, the soil between the plants should be well loosened and mulched. Also, the list of necessary agrotechnical measures should include pruning. Despite the fact that these are tree-like varieties, pruning must still be carried out here. It is worth noting that the pruning procedure for standard-type raspberries is practically no different from ordinary varieties. It is carried out for the following purposes:

• removal of fruiting shoots;
• the formation of a bush, which will create more optimal conditions for the ripening of a good and abundant harvest;
• removal of damaged, infected and deformed shoots in order to preserve the health of the bush.

The double pruning method is suitable for these varieties. With her, you need to leave only one shoot for replacement. It should be cut by 10-15 cm. The procedure is carried out in late May or early June. It is necessary to cut the stem when it reaches one meter in height. As a result, at the end of summer, a small raspberry bush will form, which outwardly will resemble a tree with 5-6 side branches. In this form, the bush remains for the winter.

The second pruning is carried out in the spring, when the leaves have already blossomed on the shoots. It is usually held in mid-May. The side branches should be shortened by 5-12 cm.

As you can see, caring for a stock type raspberry is not very difficult. But its high-quality implementation will guarantee a tasty, abundant and beautiful harvest. As a result, with a minimum expenditure of time and effort, you will get excellent fruiting of your raspberry tree.

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 overwinter 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.

With the arrival of spring and the beginning of planting, gardeners often hear about standard raspberries or a raspberry tree. This miracle is offered to us by merchants in the bazaar, street or in the online store, luring with photos of beautiful juicy berries and the promise to collect an unprecedented harvest. Everything would be fine, the price is not exorbitant and you can buy, try, and what if ... However, before you buy a raspberry seedling, you need to find out what it is and what you can expect from it in the future.

How did the standard raspberry turn out, or the essence of double pruning

Standard raspberries were bred relatively recently - in the 90s of the last century. Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor V.V. As a result of selection, Kichina obtained raspberry varieties with a thick elastic stem that does not require support or a garter to the trellis. On these seedlings, double pruning of raspberries is especially successful. As a result of this molding, a strong raspberry bush is obtained, resembling a tree in shape.

The standard shape of the bush is obtained as a result of correct pruning

The essence of pruning: at the end of May or June, the young shoot is shortened to a height of 50–70 cm. After such pinching, lateral shoots will begin to form and grow rapidly. In early spring of next year, all side shoots are shortened. From the axils of the leaves, shoots of the third order will appear, which will have time to grow and set fruits.

The shaping of the stem takes place in two steps

As a result of this trimming:

• the raspberry bush takes on the appearance of a trunk;
• due to the increase in fruit branches, the yield increases;
• there is no need to erect a trellis;
• easier harvesting and plant care.

In addition, the standard form of raspberries winters better and are less affected by diseases and pests. Often sellers add excellent taste to all the pluses of standard raspberries - you should not pay attention to this.The taste and size of the berries depend on the variety and agricultural technology, and the pruning option increases the yield and can only slightly improve the quality indicators.

Features of growing standard raspberries

In order for the purchased standard raspberry bush to be really standard and to please with a good harvest for many years, the gardener needs to work a little. Everything is important here - proper planting, care during the growing season and, of course, formation. All varieties of standard raspberries are summer, that is, they have a two-year cycle. Fruiting occurs on last year's shoots, which are cut out after harvest. In a word, everything is like an ordinary raspberry, but every year you need to form a stem. However, this procedure is simple and rather pleasant for many gardeners.

Pruning raspberries is one of the most enjoyable activities in the garden

Planting standard raspberries

For planting standard raspberry varieties, sunny areas protected from the north wind are suitable. The occurrence of groundwater is not higher than 1.5 meters. It is important that the area set aside for the raspberry tree is not flooded by melt and rainwater - raspberries do not like waterlogging. To obtain a good harvest, the soil is very important - a fertile, breathable soil of neutral acidity.

An open sunny area is an ideal place for planting standard raspberries

Step-by-step landing instructions:

1. In the selected area, dig holes 0.5 m deep and 0.5 m in diameter. The distance between the bushes should be at least 1 m, and between the rows 2 m. It is important to maintain the recommended distances, because the standard raspberry resembles a tree in shape, which means it needs more space than ordinary bushes.
2. Each pit must be filled with compost (1 bucket), add 1 glass of ash and 40 g of Nitroammofoska if planting is carried out in spring. For autumn planting, 30 g of superphosphate and potassium salt are added to the soil and mixed well with the soil.
3. A raspberry seedling is placed in a planting hole without deepening, sprinkled with fertile soil, compacted and watered.
4. A hole is formed around the seedling and the surface is mulched with compost, peat or rotted sawdust.

   Raspberries can be mulched with different materials, including straw

Caring for standard raspberries

Caring for standard raspberries is simple. During the summer, it is necessary to remove weeds and periodically loosen the soil under the plants. Mulch with a layer of 5–7 cm will eliminate the need to weed, loosen, and you will have to water the mulched bushes much less often.

Standard raspberries, like any other, are very demanding on soil fertility, so one should not forget about top dressing. In the spring, you can feed the bushes with a solution of Nitrofoski or Nitroammofoski - 20 g per bucket of water. Until mid-summer, they are fed with green fertilizer - infusion of weeds or liquid mullein in a proportion of 1 liter per 10 liters of water. WITH

About the second half of July, organic matter is not applied, since all organic fertilizers contain nitrogen, which stimulates the growth of shoots, and this is no longer needed. Shoots must mature before winter to withstand frost. Therefore, at the end of August or at the beginning of September, raspberries are fed with mineral fertilizers marked "Autumn" or a solution of Superphosphate 20 g and potassium salt 10 g per bucket of water.

Reproduction methods

Standard raspberries are propagated by cuttings, shoots and rooting of pieces of roots. The easiest way to get a new plant is from the undergrowth. To do this, a daughter plant is dug up and planted in a prepared place in the garden.

Rooting offspring is the easiest way to propagate standard raspberries

To root the root cuttings, it is necessary to dig in a raspberry bush and select sections of roots with 1-2 buds. The roots are planted in a light, loose substrate on a planting bed. Before the emergence of shoots, the bed is shaded from the sun and kept moist. For the winter, the sprouts are covered with agrofibre. The next spring, the seedling is planted in a permanent place.

Root cuttings are cut from the dug up raspberry roots

When propagated by green cuttings, young offspring 7–8 cm long are cut out. The slices are dusted with Kornevin or Heteroauxin, after which the cuttings are planted in a mixture of soil and sand, taken in equal amounts. Rooting will take place in about a month, and during this time the cuttings need to be kept warm and moist. To create suitable conditions, it is necessary to build a greenhouse in a shady place in the garden and cover it with foil.

It is important that the sun does not fall on the film - otherwise the cuttings will burn out, well, do not forget to air every day. When the cuttings take root and start growing, the film can be removed. For the winter, it is advisable to cover young seedlings with agrofibre, and plant them in a prepared place in the garden next spring. This method of propagation is used when it is necessary to obtain a lot of seedlings.

Green raspberry cuttings root easily in water - the main thing is that there is little water, otherwise the shoots will suffocate
