There is no such person who would not love raspberries. The one who claims that ripe berry he did not like it, he simply never ate a ripe, personally picked fruit. – has not only original taste qualities, but also differs healing properties. It is actively used for colds as an antipyretic.

Raspberries need watering, fertilizing, pruning and loosening. If you periodically hold such events, then the shrub will not remain in debt and will delight you with delicious fruits:

1. Watering should be frequent, especially in the spring, when the shoots begin to wake up from hibernation, and the young growth makes its way out of the ground. Do not forget about irrigation on hot summer days.
2. In the spring, it is also necessary to take care of loosening the soil. The procedure is required so that more air and nutrients enter the roots. As the soil becomes overgrown with weeds, they are weeded out, which is also a favorable moment for the growth and development of the bush.
3. During the period of active growth, it is necessary to make top dressing. During the period of growth and fruiting, 2-3 top dressings are usually done. The first one has already been submitted in early spring. It needs to be prepared chicken manure, mixed with a spoonful of saltpeter, diluted in a bucket of water. It is recommended to apply nitrogen fertilizers - once per period, either in spring or autumn. After the harvest period, potash fertilization is required. Before flowering, you need to feed it with complex fertilizer - nitroammophos or Zdravnem. This will form a large number of buds.

To get neat, juicy berries that you won’t be ashamed to put up for sale, canned whole or just enjoy juicy fruits, you need to monitor the health of the shrub.

Although the plant is immune to diseases and pests, if left untreated, it can become infected and die.

Be sure to pay attention to the condition of the shoots and leaves. The following pests and pathogenic bacteria are distinguished:

• Raspberry beetle - insects wintering in the ground. Their appearance was noticed in May. They are a small pest with gray oval shapes. The beetle initially eats flowers and leaves, and then moves into the buds, eating them from the inside. After such an invasion, the berries sharply decrease in number, and the remaining ones are saturated with larvae.
• Kidney moth - a small butterfly with spots on its wings lays larvae on stems. The latter feed on the buds, corrode the stem and penetrate inside, descending along it to the roots. Thus injuring the entire plant from roots to buds, eating its contents.
• Stem fly - its activity occurs in late May - early June. She lays her eggs in the axils of the leaves, the hatched larvae eat their way into the center of the trunk, feeding on its core.
• Spider mite - weaves a web with inside leaves, sucking out all the juices from the greens. The leaf eventually dries up and falls off.
• Weevil is a beetle that lays offspring on buds. The larvae, feeding on the tender core, grow up and increase the beetle population.
• Chlorosis - the leaves become yellow, significantly deformed. It is required to apply top dressing with complex fertilizers.
• Purple spot - appears on the leaves, accompanied by peeling upper layers stem. Shoots must be quickly cut and burned. Then spray with Bordeaux liquid.

When pests such as the stem fly or bud moth appear, the shoot expands in one place, forming a bump. The damaged sprout must be removed under the root, so that not even a hemp remains. Burn everything. At the beginning of the formation of buds, it is recommended to spray the bushes with a solution of tansy.

Thus, the main thing is to notice pests or diseases that have appeared in a timely manner and apply methods to combat them.

To choose a fruitful one, good grade raspberries, you need to understand the varieties, know their advantages and disadvantages.

Raspberry species

In order to clearly represent the pros and cons of a particular genus of raspberries, one should consider its classification by species.

Traditionally, the following categories of raspberry culture are distinguished:

Varieties of raspberries are wild raspberries, bush raspberries, and domestic raspberries.

Video “Varieties of raspberries”

From the video you will learn a lot of interesting things about different types raspberries.

Universal varieties

Very often, gardeners in search of the best varieties of raspberries forget that when choosing, it is necessary to take into account the geographical location. For example, the best varieties of raspberry bushes for central Russia and productive, unpretentious care, raspberry varieties in Ukraine will not be suitable in Belarus.

However, there are universal species suitable for most regions.

Consider the most prominent representatives of this variety:

The best early varieties

If you want to enjoy fragrant berries as soon as possible, grow such varieties as Molling Juno, Moling Promise, Lachka, Glen Lyon, Lyashka, etc.

Raspberries of the genus Molling Juneau at an early ripening period bears fruit with small fruits. Shrub of medium spreading with straight shoots. The crop favorably tolerates transportation, the plant resists pests and diseases. The fruits are sweet, dark red, stored for a long time after picking. The yield is high. Excellent fruiting in the southern Russian regions.

Moling Promise has the following characteristics: collection up to 16 t/ha for the south of the Russian Federation up to 12-14 t/ha when the shoots are covered with snow for the winter. The plant is medium-sized (2 m), giving a lot of offspring. Annual branches are thin, straight with numerous spines. The fruits are large, up to 3-5 g, of the same size, orange-red, bright, with drupes.

Lachka - summer look. Sweet berry of early ripening with long fruiting. It is considered a high-yielding variety, from one hectare to 20 tons. Popular and in high demand in the markets.

Varieties of medium ripening

On private household plots medium-ripening varieties are most often grown, as they give good yields. The main advantage is the minimum susceptibility to diseases and unpretentiousness in care. Today, about 100 species of mid-ripening raspberries are known.

Varieties with an average fruit ripening period begin to yield in the first decade of July. These varieties include Black Jewel, Sokolitsa raspberry, Glen Ample, Tarusa, etc.

Black Jewel is a black type of raspberry. His plants have intense growth energy, upright branches. The fruits are black with a blue coating, round, medium in size. Pleasant and fragrant taste, juicy, sweet. They transport well.

Raspberry Sokolitsa comes from Poland, it is used both for traditional production - in open ground, and in closed - film tunnels, greenhouses. Suitable for desserts, processing. Ripening dates - the end of June. Medium sprawling culture, shoots with few thorns, reach up to 2 m. Leaves of medium size, wrinkled, rich green. The fruits are large, sometimes very voluminous. They weigh 5-7 g. The shade is red, glossy. The drupes are small, one-dimensional, well kept. Frost resistance is high. Does not need excess moisture in the soil and air.

Raspberry Glen Ample has the following description: a productive, fruit-bearing variety on two-year-old shoots. Fruits in round, saturated red color, dense, tasty berries. The shrub is winter-hardy and drought-resistant.

Tarusa is a berry plant with powerful branches, which is why it received the second name "raspberry tree". The length reaches up to 1.80 m, with a yield of up to 6 kilograms. One of the main advantages is straight-growing shoots without thorns, which makes it easier to harvest. The weight of the fetus is about 5 grams.

late maturing varieties

The description of raspberry varieties with late fruit ripening should begin with the following advantages: resistance to low temperatures and the possibility of large yields. The harvest consists of large, juicy and tasty berries. Today, more than 200 species of this crop are known with a late ripening period of both remontant and common species. Famous among them are Malling Leo, Octavia, Tadmor and Mac Black and others.

Molling Leo is a well-known variety, with very tasty, large, sweet fruits that weigh 6-7 grams. Resistant to aphids. Transportability is good, due to the dense consistency.

Octavia - features of the species: large rounded fruits with sourness, of the same size, weigh up to 7 grams. High transportability.

Tadmor is a very late ripening, one of the newest raspberry varieties. Among its features are: powerful fruits that weigh up to 8 grams. The color is bright, burgundy. Uniform maturation of the crop and excellent storage performance. After collection, they are perfectly stored and transported.

Mac Black is characterized by late fruiting on vigorous and winter-hardy bushes. Round fruits ripen a week after all varieties of late fruiting. Not without drawbacks: the berries have a low density, therefore it is recommended for private plots.

Repair varieties

Remontant culture with an annual shoot development cycle, in one season it grows and produces a crop. The best are All Gold, raspberry Polissya, Penguin, Hercules, Atlant, etc.

All Gold is a yellow-fruited species characterized by tasty, sweet and large berries, the weight of which can reach up to 12 grams. The fruits of All Gold raspberries are very fragrant, with an aftertaste of forest raspberries, amber, glossy, shiny, beautifully shaped. Harvest from one plant up to 9 kg. Feature- high resistance to major fungal diseases, high frost resistance. Low transportability harvested crop, does not allow them to be grown commercially. When transporting fruits over long distances, it is sometimes possible that the juice of berries can run out of plastic containers. The main purpose of this species is fresh consumption. The ripening period is medium-early.

Propagated by seedlings with a bare root, it is best to acquire them in the dormant stage (in the spring, before bud formation or in the fall, when the leaves fall). Such seedlings should be immediately planted in the ground. Seedlings, which are sold in containers with soil, are planted in open ground in any season.

Raspberry Polissya - ripening period - late July - early October. The berries are medium, dark red, sweet, fragrant, dense texture, suitable for transportation. The plant is resistant to gray rot.

And further whole line differences that unite the culture we are considering, the queen of all berries - raspberries!

Video “About repair raspberries”

From the video you will learn a lot of interesting things about remontant raspberries.

Received by V. V. Kichina at NIZISNP. The bush is tall (2 - 2.5 m), upright, slightly sprawling, forms a moderate amount of shoots. Annual shoots are thick and medium, hairless, with a wax coating, prickly. The berries are medium (2.5 - 3 g), bright red in color, conical in shape, shiny, with a pleasant sweet taste and aroma, ripen together, transportable. A variety of garden raspberries with an average ripening period. Productivity is high (up to 100 kg) per hundred square meters. Winter hardiness is at the level of standard varieties, resistance to diseases and pests is average. Recommended for the Moscow region and other areas of the Non-Chernozem zone.

Modern, basic requirements for raspberry varieties.

Modern raspberry varieties should be well adapted to the weather conditions of a wide range and, if possible, combine frost resistance, flower resistance to late spring frosts, thaw tolerance and drought tolerance. In the northern latitudes, a deterrent for many large-fruited and high-yielding raspberry varieties is low winter hardiness; in the southern regions, hardy, albeit not very frost-resistant varieties are needed, but able to safely endure snowless winters and frequent thaws - not all varieties of bark are resistant to damping.

New raspberry varieties should not yield the best varieties in terms of yield (120 c/ha) and resistance to the most dangerous pests and diseases.

Suitability for mechanized cultivation technology is an important requirement for modern raspberry varieties, therefore, the bush must be compact, low (1.5 - 1.8 m), with an optimal number of stems (4 - 8 shoots per bush), equal strength of growth and development, with shortened internodes along the entire length (3 - 5 cm), with a restrained growth rate of new shoots.
Shoots without thorns, but pubescent or with an intense waxy coating that prevents excessive evaporation of moisture. Flowering and ripening of berries should take place in a short time and simultaneously on all branches.

Raspberries should be large (more than 3 - 4 g), even in size and shape, dense, strong, not crumbling, attractive, transportable, resistant to rot on the bush and during storage. In addition, the berries must have high taste qualities and a strongly pronounced aroma, homogeneous, well-linked drupes, small few seeds, the required content of sugars, organic acids, vitamins and biologically active substances.

Standards for Raspberry Planting Material

Quality planting material raspberries must meet certain technical requirements.
- The stems of raspberry seedlings with an open root system should be without leaves and shortened to 40 cm.
- Implementation of seedlings with a closed root system is allowed with leaves and without shortening.
- Seedlings should not be dried out, without mechanical damage.
- Infection with viral, phytoplasmic diseases and leaf-eating insects is not allowed.
- Varietal purity 100%.
- The length of the roots is not less than 15 cm.
- Number of shoots 1pc.
- The diameter of the base of the shoot is 0.8 - 1 cm.

Raspberries are one of the most popular crops. Its berries are useful, tasty and beautiful. How to choose the right varieties? What to pay attention to first of all?

First, you need to buy varieties that are zoned for your area. There is the State Register of Breeding Research, which contains a list of varieties that have passed the test and are recommended for cultivation in this region. At the same time, their winter hardiness, productivity and other indicators are taken into account. The list of raspberry varieties recommended for the Central region of Russia now includes about 30 items.

What is raspberry?

For those who seek to grow something original, which you cannot buy on the market, large-fruited varieties (with an average fruit weight of 10-12 g) are suitable. You can surprise neighbors and guests with late-autumn (remontant) raspberry varieties that ripen in August-September, when most of the raspberries have already departed.

Raspberry varieties: Aphrodite, Vera, Yellow Giant, Cossack, Lemon and Maroseyka

How many raspberry bushes need to be planted to get a harvest?

To get a crop of 15-20 kg with minimal care, you need to plant at least 15-17 raspberry bushes different term maturation. The same number of berries can be collected from 8-10 bushes, if you take care of them intensively: in May-June, once a week, feed with urea at the rate of 30-40 g per bucket of water, water in hot, dry weather, weed, mulch the soil with humus or peat, remove excess shoots.

In autumn or early spring, organic fertilizers (rotted manure, compost, peat) must be applied at the rate of 5 kg per 1 sq. m. Fertilizers are embedded in the soil, digging it to a depth of 20-25 cm.
