Top 10 raspberry varieties

Repairman raspberry variety for commercial and personal use. By maturity refers to the late. Bush height 1.5 - 1.9 m, slightly sprawling, the formation of overgrown medium. The main shoots are thick with sparse soft thorns; there are no thorns on the fruit sprigs. The garter is made only on windy areas. Also, because of the long side shoots, the garter contributes to better ventilation and illumination of the lower tier.

The berries are 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 and sour. Evaluation of taste is good and excellent. The berries are dense, well stored and carry transport.

In order for the bush to realize its potential yield, the lower buds are removed, accelerating the ripening of the upper ones and contributing to the formation of larger berries.

It prefers light fertile soils, on heavy loams the yield is sharply reduced. Winter hardiness is average. In the winter, it is recommended to mow shoots to the ground, since the left stump takes power from the rhizome and reduces winter hardiness. The variety does not perform well in arid regions. Recommended for the Moscow region and Central strip.

Remontant variety with orange berries. Bush srednerosly, up to 1,7 m high, compact. The shoots are upright, heavily spiked, fragile and can break off under the weight of the berries. The formation of fruit twigs is active and covers 2/3 of the shoot length. The bush forms up to 7 shoots of substitution and gives a lot of shoots.

The berries are cone-shaped, with a slightly pointed top, dense, aligned, 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. Berries are well transported, when overriding remain on the branches.

The yield from one bush reaches 3 kg, while before frost the variety has time to give 70 - 100% of the potential yield. There is a high resistance to pests and medium - to disease. The dessert taste of berries and good transportability make the variety universal.

The variety showed itself well in the Moscow and Rostov regions, recommended for the Central Belt, the Urals and Western Siberia. When grown in an annual crop (cut into winter for a stump) there is no risk of freezing of shoots.

Remontny grade of commercial purpose. Bush height 1.6 - 1.8 m. The shoots are erect, with stiff spines along the entire length, durable and do not require support. Lateral branching is abundant, shoot formation is weak (up to 3–4 substitution shoots). Variety tolerates thickened planting, does not require frequent thinning.

Ruby berries, in the shape of a truncated cone, dense, weighing from 6 to 10 to 15 g, with a pronounced aroma. The taste is sweet and sour, refreshing, but in cold weather, the acidity is more pronounced. The yield from one bush reaches 4 kg.

It is highly resistant to diseases (including viral) and pests, drought-resistant and winter-resistant. Waterlogging spoils the taste of the berries, makes it watery. With a lack of heat and light during the ripening period, the berries turn out to be sour, they are good in compotes and preserves.

This raspberry variety is well adapted in the Moscow region, the Central belt and the Urals, showing stability and unpretentiousness. In regions with cold rains in the second half of summer, it is impossible to obtain high-quality berry without additional measures.

Remontant grade for small areas. Gardeners appreciate it for great taste. In terms of yield, transportability and size, it loses to other commercial varieties. Most often grown for personal use.

Shrubs are compact, up to 2 m in height, form 5–8 replacement shoots. The shoots are covered with soft and thin spines, on the upper part to a lesser extent. Requires a garter to the trellis.

Bright red cone-shaped berries with a blunt top, glossy, drupes are large, dense, weighing 4 - 6 g. The yield per bush is 2 - 2.5 kg. Ripe berries are not showered. If berries are harvested regularly, without overriding, the crop is well transported.

This raspberry shows good results in the southern regions, but due to the lack of heat resistance, it needs mulching and shading. In the northern regions, manages to realize only 70% of the potential yield.

Classic yellow raspberry variety of early ripening. The bush is powerful, 2 - 2.3 m high. It forms 8 - 10 substitution shoots, but the bush remains compact and does not fall apart. Young shoots without thorns, on old - in small quantities. Prone to strong branching fruit branches: up to 4 - 5 order. Intensive development of root growth.

The main fruiting is on last year's shoots, but in favorable conditions a second fruiting wave is possible at the tops of young growth. Amber-yellow shirokokonicheskie years with a dull apex, up to 4 cm long and weighing 8 - 10 g. The yield from one bush exceeds 4 kg. Due to poor transportability, they are used only for personal use.

In the middle zone shows insufficient winter hardiness and requires additional protection. The shoots are flexible and easily bend down for winter shelter.

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 shoots, which should be promptly removed. Requires a garter to the trellis. Shoots of the first year without thorns. At the end of the season formative pruning shoots required.

Fruiting begins in mid-June and lasts until mid-August. The berries are bright red, cylindrical or irregular in shape, with a velvety patina, with an average weight of 5 - 6 g (up to 10 - 12 g). Drugs are large, fit tightly. Aroma pronounced. The average yield is 4 - 5 kg per bush, but it can reach 8 kg. Berries do not tolerate transportation and are not intended for long-term storage.

The variety does not tolerate overmoistening. Recommended for the Central region of Russia, but successfully grown in the Urals.

Standard raspberry variety with remontant fruiting. Shrub up to 1.5 m, forms up to 5 powerful branched shoots with drooping tops. The lower part of the shoots has hard spikes. Due to the weak formation of shoots for breeding, grafting is more often used.

The berries are juicy red, weighing from 7 to 20 g, pyramidal with a blunt top, sweet with a slight sourness and a bright aroma, evened and appetizing. When collecting do not fall apart, suitable for storage and transportation. From one bush they collect an average of 4-5 kg.

Painfully reacts to interruptions in irrigation, tying small berries. The variety has average winter hardiness. In the northern regions under the conditions of early frosts due to the late ripening period and extended fruiting, only 50% of the potential yield is realized. This raspberry variety is good for southern regions. In the middle zone, it is grown in an annual crop, when in the fall the shoots are cut to ground level.
