Varieties of remontant raspberries

According to gardeners, remontant raspberries are the best representative of the genus : the harvest can be harvested several times a season, the berries are large, and fruiting is abundant. I just want to replace all traditional varieties with remontant ones and enjoy delicious, aromatic berries all summer long.

Let's consider varieties of remontant raspberries of early, medium and late ripening.

With proper care, these varieties bear fruit almost continuously.

Repairers

The key feature of remontant raspberries is the ability to produce several harvests per year. As a rule, this quality is relevant only for the middle zone or the south, where there are warm, early summers and long autumns.

Remontant raspberries can also be grown in the north, but they turn into ordinary varieties, giving no more than one harvest per season.

Features of caring for remontant varieties are in our article.

Reliable

For gardening - almost ideal raspberries.

Firstly, ripe raspberries do not fall from the bushes for up to 2 weeks.

Secondly, the berries have a sweet, bright taste.

The variety bears fruit from mid-summer, and under favorable conditions produces berries until the first frost, until November.

Monomakh's hat

A very productive variety that produces up to 6 kg of fruit per bush. Some fruits even reach 20 grams. weight. “Monomakh's Cap” is a variety with an autumn harvest that is more abundant than the summer one. Therefore, it is much preferable to grow such raspberries in a temperate climate.

Daughter of Hercules

A variety bred from the famous “Hercules”.

Its main qualities are abundant fruiting from mid-summer, the ability to harvest until late autumn, incredibly large berries (from 10 to 20 grams).

Early varieties: description, photos, reviews

Thanks to the early ripening of berries, raspberry varieties have gained universal popularity.

Bryansk miracle

In 2001, I.V. Kazakova and S.N. Evdokimenko began breeding the variety. For five years, breeders studied the characteristics of the Bryanskoye Divo variety, and it went on sale in 2006.

Bryansk miracle Raspberries are high-yielding, the harvest from one bush is 3.5 kg. On average, the berries weigh 7 g, but there are also impressive specimens weighing up to 11 g. The fruits are elongated, large, and red in color.

The taste is sweet with a pleasant sourness. The variety is suitable for industrial cultivation: during long-term transportation, the fruits remain fresh and do not lose their shape and do not cake. The second time it begins to bear fruit in mid-August. The timing of fruiting depends on the location of zoning. The harvest can be harvested before frost.

The ripening of berries occurs from top to bottom, so you can cut off the lower flowers so as not to waste the plant’s strength on their setting and growth. In this case, the top berries will be larger and ripen faster.

What will gardeners say?

The variety does not require garter, since the shoots themselves are powerful and the bush is compact, however, in strong gusts of wind the shoots can lie on the ground.

Delicate variety, picky about the planting site. Prefers light, fertile soil.

By the end of the growing season, it drops its leaves and does not look very good; the berries ripen on shoots devoid of foliage. However, this characteristic does not affect the taste of the berries and yield.

Hercules

The variety causes a lot of controversy among amateurs and professionals. Some people like the high yield and size, while others are not happy with the taste of the berries.

Hercules Advantages of the variety:

• The harvest is harvested 2 times per season: mid-June and August-September.
• Can be grown in Belarus, the Central and Central Black Earth regions, central Russia, Polesie.
• Poor formation of shoots does not require constant destruction of the shoots.

However, the weak formation of shoots does not allow the “Hercules” variety to be quickly propagated. By autumn, strong shoots become purple-red, hard thorns are located over the entire surface, wrinkled leaves are slightly curled downwards.

Truncated conical fruits weigh 4-10 g, rich, ruby-red color, uniform drupe. Productivity – up to 2.5 kg per bush. It is not susceptible to diseases such as gray rot and is resistant to raspberry mites.

The variety is difficult to tolerate winters with little snow, so it requires pruning in the fall and shelter.

Zyugan

Zyugana The variety is suitable for industrial cultivation: good taste of berries and high transportability . High performance is achieved when grown in partial shade.

The shiny, rounded, elongated fruits weigh up to 6 g, and when ripe they are intensely red. The dense drupe prevents the berries from scattering when picked. The variety is resistant to hot sun, the fruits do not bake.

Reviews from gardeners

To get a good harvest, you need to grow on fertile soils, add organic matter and humus. "Zyugana" is resistant to frost. Berries ripen together on powerful, thornless shoots. From one bush you can collect up to 8 kg.

However, it requires support. All early varieties are good in themselves, but when choosing, you should take into account climatic conditions so that the bushes have enough heat and humidity, otherwise the yield will be significantly reduced.

RASPBERRY: remontant varieties

07.12.2019

The latest generation of these varieties is changing our understanding of raspberries. The newest remontant varieties taste no worse than traditional varieties. The widely advertised Caramel is truly delicious. But most gardeners do not know that there are remontant varieties that are in no way inferior in taste to this variety: Izobilnaya Kazakova, Himbo Top, Joan Jay, Jacqueline .

Perhaps the most important problem for remontant raspberries is that they can thrive in the warm conditions of late summer and early autumn. In areas where there is not enough heat, there are simple ways to partially correct this situation. All simple techniques for ensuring proper conditions are described in detail in specialized literature.

The main advantage of remontant raspberries is practically ecological fruiting. Remontant raspberries are virtually free of pests and diseases, which means they do not need to be treated with chemicals. The berries are the purest!

Many varieties of remontant raspberries are weak-growing, have a strong stem and can be grown without additional support: Penguin, Atlant, Eurasia, Himbo Top, Autumn Treche and others.

Winter hardiness. Experienced gardeners remember that in past harsh winters, raspberry shoots often froze and there was no harvest. Since remontant raspberries bear fruit on annual growth, there is no problem of winter hardiness for them.

Well, one more thing: having remontant raspberries, you can manage to get both a summer harvest on the branches of last year, and an autumn harvest on the shoots of the current year. True, without good care this will not work.

Variety Atlant - a hard worker variety

HOW TO CHOOSE A REPAIR RASPBERRY VARIETY FOR YOUR PLANT?

Remontant raspberries, one might say, are a novelty on the plots of amateur gardeners. Gardeners are full of both supporters and ardent opponents of remontant raspberries. Why? Firstly, once again let's draw the attention of gardeners to what features distinguish them from ordinary raspberries. First of all, this is the ability to bear fruit twice a season. Once - at the usual time, on the shoots of last year, in mid-July, and a second time - on the shoots of the current year, starting in August for the earliest varieties and ending in October, when autumn frosts kill the ovary. “So what,” you say, “we already know this... And at the same time we know that the “normal” July berry is tastier than the autumn one.” Yes, that's almost true! But believe me, you don’t have enough grounds for such categorical judgments. You haven’t tasted the best varieties of remontant raspberries! We will tell you what varieties these are a little later. In order to understand that remontant raspberries are the berry of the future, it is necessary to briefly explain what disadvantages ordinary raspberry varieties have.

Orange Miracle

1. First and probably most important. Summer residents who have traditional varieties of raspberries on their property have developed an instinct: before you put even one berry in your mouth, you need to look at it carefully to see if there is a small white larva in it - the raspberry beetle. And in most cases, when caring for ordinary raspberries, you cannot do without chemical treatments. Have you ever asked yourself why the raspberries on the market are not damaged by the raspberry beetle? That's right, precisely because it is treated with anti-raspberry beetle agents! And some of this chemistry inevitably ends up in the berries. We are not inclined to aggravate this problem, we only want to draw the attention of gardeners to the importance of understanding that there are environmentally friendly products, which include remontant raspberries. And the raspberry beetle is everywhere there are raspberries!

For remontant raspberries, this problem does not exist. All the berries are clean, because the development cycle of the raspberry beetle is designed for berries that ripen in July, which means that remontant raspberries, even theoretically, are not damaged by this pest, and there is no need to spray them.

2. Since traditional raspberry varieties bear fruit on last year’s shoots, the gardener needs to provide them with a good overwintering, and many varieties (flower buds on the shoots) cannot withstand even –30 °C. This means that damaged buds do not produce a harvest, and this happens quite often.

Remontant raspberries are cut at soil level in late autumn. Only the rhizome overwinters, which never freezes.

3. In addition, long shoots of traditional raspberries need to be secured somehow - on a trellis or tied to another support. And these are additional hassles that we try to avoid. Several varieties of remontant raspberries hold the harvest load well and do not require support at all: Penguin, Atlas, Yellow Penguin, Eurasia, King Penguin .

4. And to top it all off, traditional raspberries have quite dangerous diseases and pests that damage the shoots. The plant weakens, sometimes dies, and in all these cases chemicals are used, and it inevitably gets on the berries. But remontant raspberries do not have such problems. The life cycle of diseases and pests is closely related to the shoots, which also live for two years, while in remontant raspberries they are annual.

Remontant raspberries bear fruit on the current year's shoots, which are pruned in late autumn, so there are no problems associated with diseases at all!

5. Skeptics will probably note that the taste of remontant raspberries is worse than regular ones. At the same time, the fact that the main raspberry crop is used for processing is hushed up, and sugar is added there to taste.

Have you tried the taste of raspberries of the varieties Orange Miracle, Himbo-Top, Joan Jay, Izobilnaya Kazakova, Caramelka, Autumn Beauty ? They are arguably tastier than many traditional varieties!

Abundant Kazakova
6. Another complaint about remontant varieties: they ripen late and in many northeastern regions of the country, where summers are short and cool, they simply do not have time to ripen.

It is necessary to clarify that there are remontant varieties that begin to ripen very early and can fit even into a short summer: Penguin, Eurasia, Yellow Penguin .

7. But experienced gardeners manage to get a harvest even in completely hopeless climatic conditions. Some recommendations will undoubtedly come in handy here. First: we do not lose sight of and use exclusively simple “agricultural techniques” aimed at accelerating the regrowth of shoots and consisting in clearing snow in the spring from the ridge where remontant raspberries grow, and then covering this ridge with white non-woven material until flowering. These two techniques allow you to speed up the start of fruiting by almost a month or more and get ahead of the fall! These two agricultural methods make it possible to obtain berries in regions with a harsh climate, such as Arkhangelsk or Khanty-Mansiysk.

Well, last tips:

Don't try to get two harvests. Do not allow shoots to thicken in the bush; leave 4–5 of the most powerful shoots per square meter of area; remove the rest, less developed ones, in early June at soil level. And you are guaranteed an early harvest.

PENGUIN

A beautiful variety, excellent harvest, large clean berries. But it’s not very tasty. Yes it is! It is the residents of the center of Russia who can dare to criticize this handsome man. Despite this, Penguin is the earliest variety; it ripens at the end of July. But in the North, somewhere in Tyumen or Krasnoyarsk, he has no one to compete with. Other varieties do not ripen at all. And if you consider that in winter it never freezes out, then it should be called “Northern Penguin”. Penguin is a real find for gardeners in the northern regions who are trying to grow berry crops in areas with a harsh climate.

ATLANT

A hard worker variety that can serve as the basis for small commercial production. A beautiful, tasty berry, and also dense, ideally suited for sale on the market. 20 bushes with good care can provide a harvest of 100–120 kg in August-September. And if you add that the bush is erect and does not require support, then this is truly a godsend for large-scale commercial production.

ORANGE MIRACLE

Holiday variety. The combination of excellent taste, raspberry aroma and amazing amber color makes it unique among many remontant varieties. Several bushes of this variety will be both a decoration and a delight for your garden.

HERCULES

One of the first successful varieties of remontant raspberries bred by I.V. Kazakov. Feels good in various soil and climatic conditions. The bush is of medium vigor and requires support. High-yielding technical variety. The berries are large, wide-conical, dark red, quite dense. The taste is table, slightly sour. The variety is characterized by reliable fruiting even with poor agricultural technology.

FIREBIRD

Refers to vigorous varieties, which have a common disadvantage for such plants: support is required, since the shoots lie down under the weight of the harvest. The bush itself is represented by strong, well-branched, drooping shoots, which are colored with ripening chiseled red berries against the background of light green foliage. The berries are quite large, bright red, elongated, very beautiful and tasty. The ripening period for the variety is at the end of August - beginning of September. The conditions of the Lipetsk and Voronezh regions are better suited to unlocking the full potential of its productivity.

YELLOW PENGUIN

Many gardeners are already familiar with the remontant variety Penguin, they know it as the earliest and most productive variety, and this is true. And so nature gave a twin variety, very similar to Penguin in terms of growth strength and ripening time, but with yellow berries, round and slightly sweeter than those of the original variety.

ABUNDANT KAZAKOVA

A random seedling, obtained in an experimental breeding nursery from the original variety Bryanskoe Divo. A variety of medium vigor, with drooping shoots, requires high-quality support, since under the weight of a large harvest, shoots with ripening berries lie on the ground and the berries can rot. The yield is very high, surpassing any other variety in terms of this indicator. With good care, it is possible to collect a bucket from a bush. The beginning of ripening of berries is the end of August. The berries are medium-sized, elongated, chiseled, very tasty, the taste is not inferior to the Caramel variety, the most delicious variety in the collection of varieties studied in the experimental breeding nursery.

BRYANSK MIRACLE

The pride of Russian breeders. The variety was bred by Ivan Vasilyevich Kazakov. Surprisingly large conical berries, excellent taste and high yield are the hallmark of the variety. The variety is vigorous, with drooping shoots and requires support. The berries ripen at the end of August. In general, the variety is well suited to the conditions of the center of Russia.

YANTARNAYA SADKO

Mid-late remontant variety. It is distinguished by apricot-colored fruits and a delicate taste. The beginning of ripening is mid-August. The bushes are powerful, spreading, and require support. The fruits are bright orange, spherical, with juicy pulp. The taste is sweet, with a slight sourness, practically without aroma. The weight of one berry can reach 3.5 g. The taste is somewhat inferior to the Orange Miracle variety. The Yantarnaya Sadko variety overwinters well and is weakly affected by pests and diseases. Does not tolerate drought well. To get a good harvest, regular watering is necessary.

EURASIA

A variety with vertically growing shoots, can be grown without support. It has a characteristic shape, reminiscent of a small tree, where medium-sized red berries, quite tasty, ripen on the side branches. Mass ripening – mid-August. By mid-September the variety finishes bearing fruit.

RHINOCEROS

A variety of red raspberries, distinguished by the original shape of the berries: on the top of some large ripe berries, a kind of rudiment of a new berry is formed, which somewhat disrupts the perception of the variety. There are almost no thorns. Very large berries and high yields with a good agricultural background make this variety very popular. Requires support. Harvesting from the end of July until frost.

ROYAL PENGUIN

The variety was obtained in an experimental breeding nursery and has been studied since the end of August 2010. The berries are large, round, and sweet. The structure of the bush is similar to the Atlant variety with its upright habit. Can be grown without support. The beginning of ripening is mid-August.

So, you have decided which varieties you need and have made a choice, for example, in favor of remontant raspberries. In this case, we would like to introduce you to foreign new products that are worthy of attention. These are the varieties Jacqueline, Himbo Top, Joan Jay (Joan G).

JACQUELINE

An early variety of remontant raspberry, bred in 2003 in the USA. The berries are large and very large, weighing 8–9 g, elongated (up to 40 mm), beautiful in shape, dark burgundy in color. The fruits are very sweet, practically devoid of sourness, have a pronounced aroma, and a rich raspberry aftertaste. The disadvantage of this variety is uneven ripening of the berries. A not fully ripe “nose” makes it difficult to eat the berries. Frequent harvesting of only fully ripe fruits is required. Ripe berries are dense, with good transportability, and tolerate freezing well. After defrosting, they do not sour. The yield is high - more than 2 kg of berries per bush. Due to the early ripening period (early August), the crop has time to ripen completely before frost. Jacqueline is highly stable. The taste of the berries does not decrease either during prolonged rains and cold weather, or during hot dry periods.

JOAN JAY

The relatively new variety of remontant raspberry Joan Jay is famous for its large fruit, excellent taste and abundant harvests. However, the berries quickly overripe and do not tolerate transportation and long-term storage, so the variety is more suitable for growing in small quantities in private garden plots, for fresh consumption and frequent collection. Joan Jay bushes are distinguished by their short stature (on average 100–120 cm, maximum height up to 170 cm), thornlessness along the entire length of the shoot, and the strength of the branches. Approximately 5–7 (up to 10) shoots are formed on an adult plant. From one fruiting branch you can get up to 90 berries weighing 6–7 g each. The variety needs to be tied to a trellis, since the berries are large, heavy, and the branches, even with their small height, cannot withstand heavy loads.

HIMBO TOP

As soon as gardeners try the berries or see the Himbo Top raspberry bush growing, the number of fans of this variety increases. No wonder. The Himbo Top remontant raspberry has a number of features that attract garden owners. Let's get to know this interesting variety in more detail. The most attractive feature of Himbo Top is its large berries. Each berry is bright red, not prone to darkening, and can easily be separated from the stalk. The weight of the berries is from 5 to 8–10 g; the appearance of crushed berries at the final stage of fruiting is not typical for the variety. Experts note the excellent taste of the firm berries, which have a subtle but pronounced raspberry aroma. The berries are sweet, with a subtle sour taste, juicy and sugary. Himbo Top bears fruit within two months; fruiting begins in mid-July in the southern regions, and in early August in the central zone. The variety has a high yield of up to 3 kg per bush. The ability to harvest raspberries twice a year is considered a valuable quality. June is the period of fruiting of the branches of the second year of life; in August - September, berries are collected on the branches that have formed in the current year. Raspberries of this variety do not make any special demands on the soil composition and are resistant to diseases such as fungal infections, root rot, and late blight, which allows it to be planted even on old raspberry fields. All this makes Himbo Top raspberries an increasingly popular variety.

Brilliantovaya Growing the Brilliantovaya variety requires certain knowledge of agrotechnical techniques.

For planting, you need to choose an open sunny area, otherwise the yield will be poor. It is better to propagate raspberries in the fall. During planting, the root collar should not be covered with sand.

However, in sandy soil, shallow planting can cause the plant to die . During fruiting, it requires tying to a support. One-dimensional, dark red berries weigh up to 7 g. Harvest in August until frost.

In preparation for winter, cut off the entire above-ground part. Spring pruning is not recommended.

Polka

After defrosting, the berries do not lose their shape and taste.

Taganka

Taganka Juicy, bright red berries have a conical shape, weigh 5 g. Abundant fruiting. One bush produces up to 5 kg of berries; they are easily separated from the stalk.

The tall bush has 7-9 powerful shoots, young ones are covered with soft thorns, and old ones are covered with thorns, which makes harvesting difficult . Dark green, large foliage. The variety is frost-resistant.

Reviews about "Taganka"

For the winter, it is better to cover the plantings with agrofibre. The fruits retain their quality for several days and are suitable for transportation.

However, dry periods lead to reduced yields, so it is necessary to monitor soil moisture so that it does not dry out.

Heritage

The variety is prone to excessive formation of ovaries, which does not always lead to their full ripening . Therefore, during the 2nd flowering it is necessary to tear off some of the flowers.

Reviews from gardeners

It develops well in open areas and does not like gusty winds, so when planting it is necessary to take this fact into account and provide the variety with a protected place.

The plant is not demanding on soil, but grows better on fertile soils or light loam. When preparing for the winter, all shoots are cut off, even annual growth.

Varieties suitable for different regions

Raspberries are a popular crop in Russia, not only in private gardening. The Russian Federation is the world leader in harvesting this berry.

In this regard, numerous bred varieties were created, including with a focus on different climatic conditions in different regions of the vast territory of the USSR, and then Russia.

The bushes are very powerful, thorns all over the shoot, but not very “angry”. These raspberries require a trellis.

Especially when the harvest of other varieties has long ended. Now I’ll definitely plant more.”
