Raspberry is a berry that is loved by both adults and children. It is very difficult to find a personal plot that does not have at least several bushes. Nursing planting does not require anything supernatural from the gardener. But first you need to choose the right variety, otherwise all efforts will be wasted. In addition to the “traditional” familiar red raspberries, there is still black and yellow. Some prefer time-tested varieties, others prefer to plant new products that are only on sale.
How to choose a raspberry variety for a specific region
The key to the future abundant raspberry crop is a competent choice of variety. It is necessary to pay attention not only to such qualities as the appearance, size and taste of berries, but also to frost resistance, the presence of immunity against various diseases, the ability to tolerate heat, drought, and temperature changes. Otherwise, even with proper agricultural technology, it will not be possible to achieve the yield indicators declared by the originator of the variety.
Sometimes choosing a raspberry variety for a gardener is the hardest
Most of all, the gardeners of the south of Russia and Ukraine were lucky with the climate. Long warm summers allow them to grow almost any raspberry variety. Most often, for cultivation in such weather conditions, breeding novelties are selected that are characterized by large-fruited (and, as a consequence, high productivity) and excellent taste qualities. Other important criteria that influence the choice are resistance to heat, drought, and the ability to tolerate waterlogging of the substrate. Among gardeners' favorite raspberry varieties:
- Pride of Russia,
- Brigantine.
From repair:
- Crane
- Indian summer (and its clone - Indian summer 2),
- Eurasia,
- Penguin,
- Firebird.
In the fall, they bring crops to the first frosts, which come here quite late.
The climate in the Moscow region and the European part of Russia is quite mild. But even there winters can turn out to be severe and not snowy, and summers can be dull and cool. Therefore, in order not to be left without a crop, it is recommended to give preference to varieties of medium early or medium ripening, which are characterized by massive ripening of berries. This minimizes the risk of the crop getting under the early autumn frosts. They are suitable for the east and west of Ukraine. In the Northwest region, it is desirable to further focus on the presence of immunity against all types of rot. The development of this disease often provokes moist cold air. Of large-fruited varieties, local gardeners often choose:
Patricia
- Arbat,
- Maroseyka
- Yellow giant.
Popular and repairing varieties:
- Orange miracle
- Bryansk wonder
- Hercules
- Polka.
Siberia, the Urals and the Far East are deservedly nicknamed the "regions of risky farming." It is unlikely that in the harsh conditions of the local climate raspberries will come from Europe and the United States. There you definitely need to plant zoned varieties. They are characterized by frost resistance and early ripening, bringing the crop in mid-July. Equally important is the presence of immunity to diseases typical for culture. These qualities are possessed by both old proven varieties and some of the latest achievements of breeders, which are not inferior in taste to southern raspberries. This is for example:
- Kirzhach,
- Shy,
- Diamond
- Hussar.
From repair:
- Atlant
- Monomakh hat.
The right choice of raspberries is the key to a plentiful harvest
The best large-fruited varieties
Large-fruited raspberry varieties are considered those in which the weight of the berries is 3-12 g. But there are varieties that exceed these indicators. Their mass of one fruit can reach 18-20 g. As a result, these varieties are characterized by high productivity. They are not without flaws. This, for example, is insufficient cold resistance and relatively poor immunity for most regions of Russia.
Hussar
Hussar variety from the early ripening category. It is recognized as suitable for cultivation in the European part of the territory of Russia - from the Caucasus to the Northwest region. It is valued for its unpretentiousness in care, productivity, almost does not suffer from moisture deficiency. The variety tolerates cool weather in the summer. Also, raspberry gusar relatively rarely suffers from viral (mosaic, dwarf, leaf curly, “witch's broom”) and fungal (anthracnose, septoria, rust, gray rot, purple spotting) diseases, which are rarely attacked by pests.
Gusar raspberries tolerate drought well
Bush 1.8-2 m high, sprawling. Shoots are powerful, vertical. Small thorns, cover the lower third of the branches. The average weight of the berry is 4-5 g, individual specimens are up to 10-12 g. The high yield is up to 16 kg from the bush. Taste is estimated at 4.2 points out of five.
Brigantine
The variety is zoned for Eastern Siberia, suitable for cultivation in the Black Sea. According to the maturity of the crop refers to the medium. Demonstrates good frost resistance (at the level of -30 ° C), practically does not suffer from bark aging. It is immune to anthracnose, purple spotting. A spider mite practically does not pay attention to this raspberry.
In brigantine raspberries, bark in winter and spring is extremely rare.
The bush is about 1.5 m high. There are not too many shoots. Spikes are thick, covering branches along the entire length. Berries weighing 3.2 g. A characteristic raspberry flavor is practically absent. The taste is sweet and sour, the tasting score is 3.9 points. The content of vitamin C is low - 25 mg per 100 g. Productivity - 2.5 kg per bush.

Nevertheless, from professional tasters, the Hercules variety earned a score of 4 points. But practice shows that the north this raspberry is planted, the lower the yield. Also, with a lack of light and heat, the taste deteriorates. It also greatly depends on the quality of the substrate. Productivity - 2.5-3.5 kg per bush.
Monomakh hat
The variety recommended by the author for cultivation in central Russia, especially in the suburbs. The Monomakh hat endures local winters without noticeable damage to itself. You can plant it outside the Urals, but it will certainly require shelter to protect it from frost. Advantages of raspberries - high productivity and wonderful taste of berries. It is relatively rarely affected by pests, but it is always susceptible to viral and bacterial diseases, and fungal - if the summer is cool and rainy.
A significant disadvantage of Raspberry variety Monomakh hat - susceptibility to diseases

Patricia is an excellent fruitful variety of large-fruited raspberries. I have been growing since 2001. Berry in my conditions weighs 10-12 g. Shoots up to 2 m or more in height, require trimming and trellis. Productivity - up to 100 kg per hundred square meters. Ripening begins on June 15-20. Absolutely no spikes.

I took a variety of Brusvyana in the same nursery, two bushes. One, however, ruined overflow. The survivor gave a small crop. So I can not judge the yield. But the palatability is excellent, I have not tried the tastier berries yet. It only multiplies very tightly - there are practically no overgrowths.

If yellow, then Apricot is a repairing variety, I also kept it. Sweet berry, especially children like, and adults do not mind eating. Yellow varieties are always sweeter, only less varietal variety. Unfortunately, I had to say goodbye to many varieties - late fruiting and extended periods - Monomakh hat, Diamond ... You can’t wait for the berries. The desire is to check the Atlant variety.

I would not agree with rave reviews about the Yellow Giant. Nice variety, but not ooh ooh! Low winter hardiness, damage from leaf mosaics (if the mosaic is poorly maintained there is no mosaic, but the yield is appropriate), rather low yields, a sharp drop in the size of the berry (at first it was “sausages” weighing up to 17 g, and now it is a round berry and weighs three times less). Non-transportable, that is, mainly suitable for personal use. Poorly bought on the market because of the yellow color, they say: what kind of raspberry is it, if it is not red (a silly mistake). Advantages: unusual taste, sweet in a sharply continental climate (she needs a lot of sun), low roundness, easily bends, multiplies well, does not suffer from overgrowth.

I grew Cumberland raspberries, but they don’t have much taste. The berries are small and bony, it takes up a lot of space, needs constant garter (if you do not tie it up, it strives to take root by the top of the shoot in an unexpected place), it is very prickly, grows more than 3 meters tall, and the crop is small. For raspberries, the best part of the garden was reserved. I watched her for a year, two, three, then dug up the whole. So, Cumberland is an amateur. In jam, it is terribly bad: there is no aroma, huge bones, no taste, therefore they add red classic raspberries, without red, and jam will not work. Conclusion: the taste and color (and hereinafter).

Saplings of this beautiful variety appeared in my household about 10 years ago. I must say that the size of the berries, their taste, winter hardiness and resistance to Aboriginal diseases fully met and even exceeded all expectations. Stunningly large berries weighing 6-8 g. As promised: "The shape of the berries is conical, the color is bright, light red. The berries are dense, have a pleasant sweet, sour taste, aromatic." Drupe is not felt when eating. The variety gives stable and solid crops. The consistency of the berries is dense, which allows the berries to be transported over long distances without compromising product quality. Powerful bush with a height of 1.5 to 2 m, straight-growing, medium ripening period. It forms 5-8 shoots of substitution and 3-4 shoots of shoots, which, to our joy, do not "scatter" into other beds. Winters without shelter.

In addition to personal preferences, the choice of a particular raspberry variety for a personal plot is determined by many factors. This is frost resistance, and productivity, and the dimensions of the bush, and the taste of berries. Each variety has its advantages and most often is not without certain drawbacks. You need to familiarize yourself with them in advance in order to make the right choice and plant a variety on your own site that best manifests itself in the climatic and weather conditions characteristic of the area.
