Raspberries of the Bulgarian Rubin variety (synonym for Rubin) appeared in Bulgaria in 1957 when the Kaliningradskaya and Lloyd George varieties were crossed. On the territory of Russia, it became known at the end of the 60s of the XX century. Since then, it has been invariably popular with gardeners due to its high yield and large berries with a delicious taste.

Description of the variety

The Bulgarian Rubin variety is characterized by a powerful and tall, compressed bush with an average number of suckers and replacement shoots, not spreading over the site. This variety reaches a height of about 180 cm. Young shoots are greenish in color and many thick short dark purple thorns with a thickened base of the same color. There is no wax coating on them.

The mature, dull purple shoots are thick and erect and do not bend as the fruit ripens. Their thorns are located exclusively on the lower part of the plant. The variety is characterized by large green leaves, consisting of three small leaves, with slight wrinkling. The Bulgarian Ruby does not need to be planted with other varieties of pollinators.

Ripening terms

Bulgarian Ruby begins to bear fruit from the end of June. In terms of ripening of berries, it belongs to the mid-late varieties. The variety is prone to remontantity with prolonged fruiting. Ripe berries occupy a large area of ​​the branch.

Yield

From the bushes of this variety of raspberries, you can harvest 9-12 t / ha. This means that the Bulgarian Ruby belongs to the high-yielding crops. Fully ripe berries do not crumble. The thorns at the bottom of the stem do not interfere with the harvest.

Berries and their taste

The fruits of the Bulgarian Ruby are bright red and blunt-conical in shape. They are characterized by a large size, the weight of one berry is 3.5-3.6 g. The pulp is dense in consistency. The drupes of the fruit adhere to each other tightly, so the berries do not disintegrate during harvest.

This variety has a sweet and sour taste and a pronounced delicate aroma of wild raspberries. Berries are used for fresh consumption, as well as for processing (preserves, jams). The fruits of the Bulgarian Rubin variety are ideal for freezing. They retain their shape well during transportation.

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

The variety is easy to care for, does not require frequent watering. For about 10 years, it can grow well and bear fruit in one place. But it should be remembered that the Bulgarian Ruby is characterized by moderate frost resistance, and excessive moisture during cultivation can lead to fungal diseases.

Site selection and soil preparation

Raspberries Bulgarian Ruby are recommended to be planted in a sunny, windless area located near a fence or in a corner. The soil should be well-drained, fertile, neutral or slightly acidic. It is prepared two weeks before the autumn planting, and before the spring planting it is fertilized in the autumn, adding sod, compost and manure to the soil. When planting seedlings, the distance between plants in a row should be 30-60 cm, and between rows at least 120 cm.After planting, young bushes must be watered and mulched with peat or humus.

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.
Garter raspberries 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.
The raspberry pruning process is an essential and essential step in 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

The Bulgarian Rubin variety, which is characterized by high drought resistance, requires rare watering 3-4 times per season. It is imperative to water the raspberries during flowering and fruit formation. The variety is fertilized using 20 g of complex fertilizers and 3 kg of manure per 1 m2 of plantings. It should be noted that fertilizing containing nitrogen cannot be applied, since the seedlings will not take root well.

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.
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

Raspberry shoots Bulgarian Ruby are rarely affected by pests, but are less resistant to viruses than more modern varieties. In particular, this variety is not resistant to anthracnose; annual shoots most often suffer from this fungal disease. Gray spots with a red border appear on the leaves and stems, the leaves dry out and die off, the shoots become covered with ulcers, the berries dry out. Infected bushes are treated with fungicides, for example, "Abiga-Peak" or "Quadris". For prevention purposes, plants should be protected from high humidity and acidic soil, potassium and phosphorus should be introduced in a timely manner.

Bulgarian Ruby is also not resistant to didimella (or purple spot). With this disease, lilac spots appear at the base of the plant, which spread upward to the entire stem and to the entire bush, as a result of which the shoots crack, the branches break, and the plant dies. The development of the disease is facilitated by high humidity, planting density, excess nitrogen in the soil. Sick bushes must be burned, and as a preventive measure, treat raspberries Bulgarian Ruby with 1% Bordeaux liquid or Fundazol.

Unfortunately, raspberries, like other plants, do not bypass various diseases and pests. Only by 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

Most often, the Bulgarian Rubin variety is propagated by offspring, which are formed on the roots and develop from the adventitious buds. It is better to do this in the fall after the leaves have fallen. It should be noted that the mother bush must be 3-4 years old. In spring, the variety is propagated by green root suckers. For this, shoots with a height of 20-25 cm are dug up with roots and immediately planted.

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.
