Raspberries are grown in almost every summer cottage, since they are very useful. Choosing a tasty species with high yields, you should pay attention to the raspberry variety Apricot, which is characterized by unpretentious care, as well as a large number of useful components - iron, calcium, fructose, glucose, fiber, malic and citric acid.

Breeding history of the variety

This variety of large amber-golden berries is the result of many years of work by Russian breeders RASN Evdokimenko and Kazakov. This berry species was bred 25 years ago, but has gained wide popularity over the past few years. Included in the State Register in 2004. It is massively grown in the central regions of the country.

Description of the variety

Raspberry Apricot is a yellow-fruited variety that does not contain dyes, so babies, pregnant women, and people prone to allergic irritations can savor it fresh. The berry is characterized by large dimensions, and its bushes are slightly prickly and slightly spreading, that is, the branches are more straight-growing.

Ripening terms

Fruiting dates are a bit extended. The fruits can be tasted in the first half of August, and the harvest ends with the onset of frost. Fruiting dates may shift slightly due to the climatic features of the region.

Growing regions

The optimal place for growing and good fruiting plants are regions with not very harsh winters.

Yield

High yield variety. With proper planting and care, up to 2 kg of berries can be harvested from each bush. The plant has two harvests per season.

Berries and their taste

The berries are cone-shaped with a blunt end. On ripe fruits of a yellow-golden color, there is an edge. The weight of one berry is about 3 grams. On the palate, raspberries are quite sweet, soft, with a barely noticeable sourness. There is no pronounced aroma in the variety. The variety is excellent, but its transportability is poor.

How to choose a raspberry seedling
Due to its unpretentiousness, raspberries live in almost every garden plot. But in order to get tasty berries, you must first plant a healthy and strong seedling. In nurseries, shops and private sellers, you can find a huge assortment of seedlings, but how to determine their quality and be sure of the abundance of fruiting already upon purchase?

Growing features

With the right place and proper plant care, even an inexperienced gardener can get a bountiful harvest of amber berries. A characteristic feature is that the raspberry bushes are erect and do not take up much space, therefore, huge land plots are not required for a plant.

Site selection and soil preparation

The area for planting raspberries Apricot should be well lit by the sun. As a rule, bushes are planted in a north-south direction. Loose and fertile soil is optimal for the plant. The site should not be swampy, since excess moisture in groundwater will negatively affect the root system of the plant.Before planting, the site is cleared of weeds, then thorough digging and fertilization with useful components. Preparation is carried out several weeks before planting, as the soil takes time to shrink. The optimal season for planting is autumn, however, the raspberry tree is also planted in early spring.

A plentiful and high-quality harvest in the future depends on the correct technology of planting a raspberry bush. It is necessary to choose the right planting material, determine the location and prepare the site.
Raspberry garter is a difficult and painstaking task. This requires time and imagination. But on the other hand, the benefits from this process are enormous. Thanks to the garter, the fruits ripen more intensively and regularly. Bushes are much less deformed, branches do not break off. After the garter, the berries are better preserved, and the greatest achievement at the same time is the convenience of harvesting.

Pruning

Before winter, all shoots are cut off, leaving only low stumps. In early spring, the shoots are shortened by 10-15 cm, and dried branches are also cut off.

The raspberry pruning process is an essential and essential part of caring for your garden and the key to harvesting large, juicy berries. Without pruning, raspberry shoots lose their strength and cease to bear fruit. It is very easy to avoid thickening of the raspberry tree: you only need pruning - in the spring, summer and autumn months.

Watering and feeding

This variety requires abundant watering, but without stagnant moisture. If mulching is carried out, then watering is made more rare. Winter watering is important, when the plant is abundantly flooded with water before the onset of cold weather.

This variety of raspberries is nutritionally demanding. During the season, especially during the flowering and fruiting period, feeding is performed several times with special infusions of wood ash and mullein.

One of the conditions for proper care of raspberries is proper watering. The rules for watering raspberries are the same for all varieties and varieties of this garden plant. Moistening should be carried out if the soil has dried out by 5 cm or more.
One of the most important conditions for growing large and sweet raspberries is timely fertilization. For each stage of development of the raspberry bush, different feeding is required. Fertilizers that are used at the beginning of the growing season of the plant are not suitable during flowering and ripening of berries.

Frost resistance and preparation for winter

The plant is very frost-resistant, so there is no need to perform special warming manipulations, with the exception of watering and shortening the branches. If the region has cold winters, then the bush needs to be buried a little with earth.

Preparing raspberries for winter is another of the stages of berry care. If you start preparing raspberries for wintering in time, then next year you will get a rich harvest of delicious and sweet berries. Winter preparation activities include pruning, feeding, pest control, watering and shelter.

Diseases and pests

The Apricot raspberry variety is very resistant to diseases and pests, but you should not forget about preventive measures.

Unfortunately, raspberries, like other plants, do not bypass various diseases and pests. Only armed with the knowledge and the necessary means for this, you can cope with such troubles. To help the plant, it is very important to be able to recognize the disease in time and begin timely treatment.

Reproduction

New bushes of raspberry Apricot can be obtained in three ways: by separating root cuttings, cutting off green shoots and taking a separate growth bud.

There are many ways to breed raspberries. Raspberries can be diluted with root cuttings, woody cuttings and root cuttings. Regardless of the method of berry propagation, a number of requirements must be observed to ensure the receipt of high-quality planting material.

Review overview

Gardeners characterize this raspberry variety as unpretentious in care, but a little capricious to climatic fluctuations. Most farmers note the high yield, rich taste of the berry, which can be eaten fresh, as well as canned, frozen, and boiled compotes.

Another advantage is the compactness of the bushes, which allows you to grow berries even in a small summer cottage.
