Many gardeners are faced with the choice - planting remont raspberries or ordinary. Both species have their advantages and disadvantages, however, increasingly the choice falls on the repair varieties. You will find all useful information about them in this article.

Repair raspberry: properties, advantages and disadvantages

Repairing is called raspberry, which can bear fruit on annual and biennial shoots. Such varieties have been known to gardeners for more than 200 years, although domestic breeders took up them only after 1970. This is due to the fact that European and American varieties were poorly adapted to the weather conditions in Russia. The first domestic repair grade was Raspberry Indian Summer. It was obtained by crossing the September cultivar and the early flowering hybrid No. 12-77.

The main property of the repair crops, which include raspberries, blackberries and strawberries, is fruiting, which does not end in the summer, but begins again in the fall. Thanks to this, such varieties are gaining more and more popularity and there are many reviews claiming that they are superior to conventional varieties.

• The benefits of remont raspberries:
• Long fruiting period. Such raspberries allow you to harvest for two seasons.
• Fruits are annual seedlings. This is a big advantage of the repair varieties. Freshly planted raspberry seedlings are able to bear fruit in the first year of their life. Thanks to this, you do not have to wait another year to harvest like with ordinary raspberries. It is noteworthy that the berries of the second fruiting are not inferior in taste to the berries of the first.
• Low risk that the plant will not take root.
• Resistance to cold. Raspberries without loss will transfer temperatures to -5 ° C.
• There is no need for a large amount of fertilizer.
• It can grow on almost any soil.
• High yield.

Did you know? Raspberry flowers are directed downward, so the bees can collect nectar from them even during rain.

• However, there are no ideal varieties. Repair raspberries also have their drawbacks:
• Such raspberries are harder to propagate than ordinary. Repairing varieties form fewer shoots.
• She needs a lot of light. Shading, even brief ones, can negatively impact the crop.
• If the soil acidity level is elevated, then raspberries will not yield at all.

Differences from regular raspberries, how to visually identify

This question is often asked by gardeners, especially if there is a problem of choosing a variety. The biggest difference between these species is, of course, in bearing.

Raspberry development cycle:

Plain	Repair
Landing	Landing
Flowering, the emergence of new sprouts	Sprouts
Fruiting	Fruiting, shoot removal
Shoot removal	The development of new sprouts
Bush cut under the root	Fruiting

Another difference is the regions of cultivation. If ordinary raspberries are mainly grown in the Northern regions, then only the Southern ones are suitable for the remontant. These varieties need a long and warm summer. Important! Good advice to those who grow both types of raspberries - divide the plantings with conventional tags or fences. Suppose bushes of remont raspberries can be surrounded by slate. In the future, this will prove extremely useful. A very common problem is that the gardener has planted both remontant and ordinary raspberries. But then, due to some circumstances, I forgot where which one. And to distinguish between these two species is extremely difficult. In fact, visually they do not differ, since it is one and the same plant.

However, some methods do exist:

1. If at the end of summer raspberries begin to appear flowers and fruit ovaries, then it is definitely remodeling.
2. In remontant raspberries, flowers are arranged in large numbers throughout the stem. In ordinary, they grow only at the ends of shoots.

Differences in growing technology

The technology for growing remont raspberries will be different from the technology for growing ordinary raspberries. These two types need a different approach.

Repair	Plain
In winter, the bushes do not need shelter, a good enough layer of snow	Bushes need shelter, there is a risk of debate
Regular chemical treatment of pests and diseases is not required	Special processing is required
No need to shelter from rainfall	And because of the short fruiting period, the bushes need to be covered in long rainy days, otherwise there is a risk of losing the entire crop
No sanitation and pruning required due to few clogging shoots	You need to regularly remove shoots so that the bushes do not overgrow

Otherwise, growing technologies will be similar. Both species need regular watering, fertilizers, pruning, loosening, etc.

Varieties, their features

Since 1970, many selector varieties have been bred by Russian selectors, which are now popular all over the world. You will find information on the most outstanding below. Learn how to plant remont raspberries in the fall.

Augustine

The experiment of Russian selectors was successful. In 1993, they managed to produce one of the earliest varieties of remont raspberries. Augustine is gaining popularity every year due to its characteristics.

The bushes are not high, up to 1.5 m. A feature of the variety is the convenient compactness of the bushes, which allows you to save space on the site and move freely between plantings. The stems have small spikes, powerful and straight. Augustine bushes do not need supports. Also, the plus of the variety is that ripe berries can not crumble up to 10 days, remaining on the stalks.

The yield of this variety directly depends on the growth conditions in the first years of life. The first three years raspberries need abundant fertilizers with a high nitrogen content. The berries are dark cherry, dense. Thanks to this structure, they tolerate transportation well. The taste is sweet, the characteristic raspberry flavor. The average weight of fruits is 5 g. From one bush, you can collect 3 kg of crop (12 t / ha). Tasting score - 4 points.

• Augustine is immune to:
• viral infections;
• spider mite;
• fungal diseases.

• However, raspberries of this variety have the following disadvantages:
• a large number of thorns complicates the harvesting process;
• low tolerance to frost;
• vigilant care is required at an early stage.

Brusvyana

Brusvyana is the pride of Russian selectors. It is believed that this raspberry gives the greatest fruits in the world. The bushes are distinguished by their height, they can reach 2 m. This is convenient when harvesting, the gardener does not have to bend down to pick berries. They grow throughout the stem in large numbers. Small spikes also facilitate harvesting. The bushes do not need supports, because thick and straight shoots do not crumble. Did you know? Raspberry is a natural antidepressant due to its copper content. The first berries ripen in mid-June. The second fruiting period begins in August and lasts almost all autumn. On average, the crop is from 4 to 7 kg per bush. This yield allows you to grow Brusvyana variety for commercial purposes. One berry can weigh up to 15 g, which makes it almost the largest raspberry in the world.

However, judging by the reviews of gardeners, on average, the weight of the berries varies from 6 to 9 g. The berries are bright, with a pronounced sweet and sour taste. A distinctive feature of the variety is very dense fruits. This allows them to tolerate long transportation. Tasting score - 4 points.

• Raspberries of this variety have the following disadvantages:
• unpleasant smell of bushes;
• berries are often overly acidic;
• because of the very large bushes, a large distance between them is required when planting.

Monomakh hat

This variety was bred by the famous Russian selector I. Kazakov and is now very promising. Bushes of this variety are more like small trees. They reach 1.5 m in height. Shoots branch and wilt. The lower part of the plant has thorns, but they do not interfere with the collection of berries. Monomakh hat practically does not form shoots, therefore, a suitable method of reproduction is only by growing cuttings.

The fruits of this variety are considered large, on average they weigh 7–9 g, but there are cases when the weight of one berry could reach 20 g. The average yield from the bush is 5 kg. Under good weather conditions and proper care from one bush, you can collect up to 8 kg. Such crops are possible in the southern regions, because remont raspberries require a long summer, which will extend the fruiting period.

Elongated berries with a flattened end of a dark crimson color. Raspberry Hat Monomakh reacts strongly to the frequency of watering. With a lack of moisture, the berries are significantly smaller. This trait in this variety is much more pronounced than in others. Tasting score - 4.7 points.

Hercules

This variety, like the previous one, was bred by Russian breeder I. Kazakov. Hercules is the result of crossing seedling No. 14-205-4 and mid-season Ott Near. As a result, the selectors received a repair grade with a very high yield.

Heracles is grown in Ukraine, Russia and Belarus. However, the Northern regions are not suitable for him, it is noted that productivity in these territories is significantly falling. The first fruiting begins in mid-June, and the second - at the end of summer and lasts until the first cold weather. It is important that the main part of the crop falls on the second harvest. It can make up 80% of the total.

Bushes usually grow up to 2 m, are prone to overgrowth, form many side shoots. Shoots are strong, straight, do not need supports. There is a large number of large spikes throughout the stem, which can be attributed to the minuses of the variety. In winter, bushes require shelter. The main thing is to prevent debate during its construction, otherwise the plant may die.

The fruits are bright, juicy, do not crumble. On average 5–7 g . Thanks to the dense pulp, they tolerate transportation well. It is noteworthy that often the berries grow under wide leaves, which are able to hide the crop from birds. Tasting score - 4 points.

• Hercules is resistant to:
• most fungal diseases;
• gray rot;
• raspberry mite;
• rotting processes (therefore, not afraid of prolonged rains).

Diamond

This variety is also the creation of I. Kazakov. The name is fully consistent with the variety, because it stands out among the rest with its bewitching brilliance of berries. Shrubs Brilliant average height, reach 1.2 m. The leaves are dark, with serrated edges. Annual shoots have a slightly reddish tint and a small number of spikes. Biennial shoots acquire a brown hue and stiffer spikes.

The berries are medium in size, up to 4.5 g. The color is saturated, with bright gloss. The pulp of the fruit is very juicy and does not tolerate transportation. On average, about 3 kg can be collected from one bush. Tasting score - 4.3 points.

• The advantages of the variety are:
• good heat tolerance;
• marketable condition;
• medium drought tolerance.

High-yielding varieties of remont raspberries

Each gardener wants to get as much tasty and high-quality crop as possible. Below are two varieties with particularly high yields. It is important to remember that there is no ideal variety, however, with proper care and observing the rules of agricultural technology, your variety will be able to bear fruit to the maximum of its capabilities. Did you know? The world leader in raspberry cultivation is the Russian Federation. On its territory is almost half of all shrubs in the world.

Bryansk divo

Bryansk divo belongs to the elite varieties and has been bred since 2006. It is also the result of the work of I. Kazakov. This variety is famous for its large fruits, which can reach 3 cm in length. Ripening occurs in August and harvest lasts all fall. Harvest ripened unevenly, so the harvesting period is very long.

It usually lasts until the first frosts. On average, 4 kg of berries can be obtained from one bush, and the weight of one berry does not exceed 11 g . But on average, the weight ranges from 4 to 6 g. If the Bryansk divo is grown in the Northern regions, then productivity drops to 70–80%. The taste of berries is saturated, with a slight acidity.

Bushes grow to 1.8 m, compact. They have about 7 powerful shoots. Spikes are formed a little, in size they are medium, stiff. The leaves are dark green serrated. A distinctive feature of the variety is that at each shoot node two fruit branches are formed, which will then be completely covered with berries.

Winter hardiness is good, the plant will tolerate temperatures up to -20 ° C without loss. Heat resistance and drought tolerance are average. Average resistance to diseases, often affected by fungal diseases. Tasting score - 4 points.

• The disadvantages of the variety include:
• sharp spikes that complicate the collection;
• soft berries that do not tolerate transportation;
• a large amount of light is needed;
• support construction is required.

Penguin

Another promising variety I. Kazakova. Penguin is widely known for its characteristics. Penguin - a variety of universal purpose, recommended for mechanical cleaning and commercial cultivation. But also this raspberry can be grown in private gardens in small quantities.

The bush consists of direct shoots reaching 1.4 m in height, has bright and lush foliage. There are many thorns, but most are located in the lower parts of the plant, so this does not interfere with the harvest. Penguin loves fertile black earth, loam and sandy loam.

Important! Crops can lose sugar content (i.e., become acidic) if the bushes grow on sandy or clay soils, as well as in too rainy weather with high rainfall. Fruiting occurs in late summer or early fall. The berries are quite large, reaching 6 g. Yield is considered quite high for such small bushes - up to 11 t / ha. The amount of yield from the bush ranges from 2 to 3 kg. Berries are most often rounded, dense, do not crumble. A big plus is that when the collection is delayed, raspberries are able to stay on their stalks for up to 5 days without crumbling.

The berries are dense, transportable. The taste is sweet and sour. There are many reviews claiming that Penguin's taste profile is pretty low. The tasting score is 3.7 points.

• The disadvantages are:
• low winter hardiness;
• average taste;
• cultivation for two crops is not recommended.

Features of planting and top dressing

Whatever variety you choose to grow, proper care is required. Removable raspberries are so good because, under the right growing conditions, they can give the gardener a really excellent crop. Almost all of these varieties are characterized by good productivity and can be improved by observing the simple rules that will be presented below. Read why raspberry leaves turn yellow.

Soil requirements

Raspberry is demanding on the soil, the fertility of the plant largely depends on its condition.

It is important not to place plantings where crops such as:

• a tomato;
• eggplant;
• potatoes;
• cucumber;
• pepper.

Repairing raspberries will feel best on light loams. The soil should be well loosened and fertilized. The acidity level should be 6-7 pH.

Important! To reduce the acidity of the soil in your area, you can neutralize with chalk or dolomite flour.

Soil preparation is best done one year before the proposed planting of seedlings.

The preparation itself can be divided into the following stages:

1. It is necessary to dig a site where beds will be located.
2. 45 g of potassium, 65 g of superphosphate, 10–13 kg of humus per 1 m² are added to the excavated land.
3. In spring, mustard, clover or legumes can be planted at this place. By autumn, these plants are ground and ground.

Fertilizers

If a year before planting, soil preparation was carried out with fertilizers, then they will be enough for two years of raspberry growth. In the third year, fertilizer will already be needed. If there was no preliminary preparation, then fertilizers are applied immediately to the hole where the seedling will be planted.

Repair raspberries love top dressing, and they are an integral part of plant care for good productivity.

As fertilizers, you can use:

• cow dung with water (1:10);
• chicken droppings with water (1:20).

Such fertilizer will be sufficient in a proportion of 5 liters per 1 m². Top dressing should be carried out twice a year - in the spring during the flowering period and in the fall after harvest. Fertilizers are recommended to be applied in sunny weather without precipitation.

Landing pattern

Gardeners recommend using a tape planting scheme.

This will require:

1. Dig a trench in a section up to 40 cm deep and 50 cm wide.
2. On a linear meter of planting make 2-3 buckets of fertilizer.
3. Fertilizers are thoroughly mixed with the soil and this mixture is filled with a trench when planting plants.

In fact, there is still debate about which landing pattern is better. So far, there is no one specific scheme that would be better than the others, so when planting raspberries you can resort to any method, of which there are a lot (square-bush, curtain method, triangular scheme, etc.). The main thing to consider is that this plant does not like thickening, so the distance between the bushes during planting should be decent.

Landing itself is best done in the fall. In October, the most favorable conditions for the plant are usually created. Humidity and temperature at this time are optimal. The survival rate of seedlings in this period is the highest.

Pruning

The peculiarity of the repairing varieties is that the crop appears on both annual and biennial shoots. After fruiting, as in ordinary varieties, the shoots become weaker, they are depleted. Therefore, the second autumn crop can be much smaller than the spring one. It is for this reason that many gardeners grow remont raspberries for a single crop. So she will concentrate all her forces and give a very rich harvest once a year.

Если кусты выращиваются ради одного урожая, то необходимо после плодоношения срезать все побеги под корень. Обрезку нужно проводить так, чтобы не оставалось даже пеньков. Если же предполагается получение двух урожаев в году, то и обрезка проводится дважды. После первого сбора необходимо обрезать двухлетние побеги. Их можно определить по более тёмной одеревеневшей поверхности с подсыхающими листьями. Узнайте, когда и как правильно обрезать малину. Вторая обрезка проводится перед зимой. В этом случае необходимо обрезать только верхушки побегов, те места, где росла большая часть плодов. Также время от времени рекомендуется проводить санитарную обрезку, которая позволит удалять лишнюю поросль и повреждённые побеги.

Уход за насаждениями

Здоровье ваших растений и эффективность их плодоношения напрямую зависят от ухода, который вы им обеспечиваете. При недостаточных поливах малина может не дать плодов, а при чрезмерных, они могут стать безвкусными.

Так что к уходу за кустами нужно подходить ответственно:

1. Watering . Малина любит увлажнённую почву, поэтому поливы должны быть регулярными. Почва на глубине 30 см должна быть пропитана влагой. Чтобы проверить необходимость дополнительного полива, возьмите комок земли с этой глубины и сожмите в руке. Если он не разваливается, то пока что поливать не нужно. На осадки надеяться не стоит, т.к. даже во время дождей могут понадобиться поливы если почва остаётся сухой на глубине 10 см и больше. Саму процедуру нужно проводить аккуратно, не смачивая листья. Важно, чтобы при поливе не оголялся корень растения.
   

2. Loosening . Рыхление необходимо для того, чтобы корневая система могла получать достаточно кислорода. Проводить его нужно регулярно, до 6 раз в год. Углубляться в грунт рекомендуется не более чем на 8 см, иначе есть риск повредить корни. Последнее рыхление нужно провести перед зимой, чтобы влага задержалась в почве. Также во время рыхления можно внести профилактические препараты от вредителей или подкормки.
   

3. Mulching . Мульчирование — это укрытие почвы у растений органическими материалами или агроволокном, картоном. Эта процедура пользуется большой популярностью у садоводов, т.к. даёт множество положительных эффектов. Позволяет не выбрасывать скошенную траву, листья и сорняки, а использовать их с пользой. Мульчирование не даёт влаге испаряться из почвы, а также защищает корни растения от некоторых насекомых-вредителей. Зимой этот способ не даст корневой системе замёрзнуть. Однако важно регулярно ворошить мульчу и не держать её чересчур долго, чтобы не спровоцировать прение. В качестве мульчи можно использовать сено, компост, органические удобрения и т. д.
   

Важно учитывать, что для разных сортов способы ухода могут отличаться. Так что при посадке сортовой малины нужно ознакомиться с рекомендациями по уходу за ней.

Fruiting

Наиболее важная отличительная черта ремонтантной малины — растянутый период плодоношения. В Южных регионах с долгим и солнечным летом успевают вызреть оба урожая, что может длится на протяжении месяцев. Однако ягоды поспевают неравномерно, на протяжении всего периода. Поэтому сборы проводят с частотой 1-2 дня. Для некоторых садоводов это преимущество, а для некоторых — недостаток.

Собирать урожай рекомендуется в солнечную, но не жаркую погоду. Mandatory use of gloves. Малину складывать лучше в ящики или корзин ы. Полиэтиленовые пакеты использовать нельзя. Ягоды укладывать рекомендуется не больше чем в 6 рядов. Только что собранный урожай нужно как можно скорее убрать в затенённое место.

Breeding

В случае ремонтантной малины существует три способа её размножения. Стоит учитывать, что не для всех сортов подойдёт любой из перечисленных способов, так что выбирать необходимо индивидуально:

1. Размножение корневыми отпрысками . Этот способ используется редко, т. к. большая часть сортов образует слишком мало корневой поросли. Легче всего таким способом размножать кусты, достигшие пятилетнего возраста. Когда поросль вырастает до 10 см её можно выкопать. Делать это рекомендуется в пасмурную погоду.
   

2. Размножение корневыми черенками . Для этого необходимо выкопать корешок малины толщиной не менее 2 см. Его разделяют на кусочки длиной до 12 см и высаживают в почву на глубину около 7 см.
   

3. Propagation by green cuttings . Черенки заготавливают с однолетних побегов, у которых образовалась розетка листьев. Их подрезают и выкапывают вместе с землёй. Срезы лучше обработать углём и высадить черенки в почву.
   

Вредители и болезни ремонтантной малины

Одним из самых весомых достоинств ремонтантной малины является то, что она имеет иммунитет к большинству заболеваний. Также большую роль играет то, что стебли, которые уже отплодоносили, срезаются под самый корень. Благодаря этому удаляются насекомые-вредители и очаги болезней. Поэтому между качеством плодов обыкновенной и ремонтантной малины есть большая разница. В первом случае ягоды не обрабатываются химическими препаратами, т. к. в этом нет необходимости. Important! Приобретайте саженцы только в надёжных питомниках, а не на стихийных рынках. Так вы исключите возможность покупки уже больного растения.

Большая часть сортов имеет устойчивость к:

• грибковым болезням;
• gray rot;
• малиновому клещу;
• паутинному клещу.

Так что ремонтантная малина редко поражается болезнями и вредителями типичными для растений этого вида. Однако осторожность всё же не помешает. Для профилактики рекомендуется проводить регулярные обрезки, высаживать кусты на достаточном расстоянии друг от друга, почву перед посадкой обрабатывать специальными средствами, а также вовремя удалять поражённые побеги и листья.

После прочтения этой статьи вы сможете самостоятельно определиться с сортом ремонтантной малины для выращивания на своём участке, будь то крупное производство или просто несколько кустиков для вашей семьи. При должном уходе они будут регулярно радовать вас хорошим и вкусным урожаем.
