Today's guest in the long list of presented raspberry varieties is Himbo Top (synonym - the Latin name Himbo-Top), which belongs to large-fruited varieties of the remontant type. The unpretentious variety is still little known to Russian gardeners, but it has great prospects due to its excellent transportability and versatility in application. Berry Himbo Top is suitable for fresh consumption, the widest range of canning, shock freezing. The ability to carry transportation over long distances makes it possible to grow a variety for sale.

Breeding history of the variety

Himbo Top is the result of the talented work of Swiss breeders from the Rafz commune in the canton of Zurich. Authorship belongs to Peter Hauenstein. In the work were used as parent varieties Otm Bliss and Himbo Queen. As far as we know, Peter Huenstein named his brainchild Rafzaqu, but he transferred the rights to the variety to the well-known trading company Promo-Fruit AG. Raspberry reached the consumer under its current name, registered as an international trademark.

Description of the variety

Himbo Top is a vigorous, powerful shrub 1.5-2 meters high with large spreading shoots covered with short purple thorns. At the same time, the plant produces a limited number of replacement shoots, which does not interfere with the active growth of lateral branches and obtaining high yields. Fruit shoots reach 80 cm in length and need props during the ripeness of the berry. The branches are covered with complex 3- and 5-lamellar wrinkled leaves with a color from light to dark green. During flowering, the shoots are covered with large white flowers, collected in highly branching brushes, which provides a high decorative effect of the bush.

Ripening terms

The variety is remontant, therefore it bears fruit on both annual and biennial shoots. The difference in the timing of the ripening of the berry is that two-year-old branches give ripe berries much earlier than one-year-olds. That is why the ripening of the crop takes quite a long time - up to two months, and during this time the gardener manages to collect 2 crops. The fruiting period is in June and then August, September.

Growing regions

Himbo Top grows well and bears excellent fruit in the regions of the middle zone of our country. However, if it is cultivated in more severe latitudes, then the amount of harvest is noticeably reduced - the last berry simply does not have time to reach technical and physiological ripeness.

Yield

Raspberry Himbo Top belongs to high-yielding varieties - up to 3 kg of berries are harvested from 1 bush, up to 15 tons per hectare.

Berries and their taste

Bright red large conical berries of a rich red color weigh from 6 to 8 grams. The pulp of medium density has a pleasant dessert sweet taste with a slight sourness and a pronounced raspberry aroma. Tasting scores are consistently high.

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 needs good agricultural technology, which allows you to get a high yield and high-quality berries. The very process of leaving is similar to caring for any varieties of raspberries and lends itself to growing even in the garden of a novice summer resident. The main condition is to maintain a significant distance between the bushes and rows, respectively - 150x300 cm.To plant young seedlings prepare trenches up to half a meter deep and 60 cm wide.

Site selection and soil preparation

Gardeners traditionally choose autumn as the time for planting, although spring also gives excellent results - over the summer, young plants have time to build up a powerful root system. For cultivation, choose sunny areas with afternoon shading. The soil is prepared in advance, about half a month in advance. They dig trenches, strengthen the walls, arrange a drainage layer, fill the soil with complex mineral fertilizers and organic matter. When planting, the roots are carefully straightened, covered with soil, making sure not to deepen the root collar. The soil around the seedling is compacted and shed well.

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

For Himbo Top, pruning is required. It is carried out in the fall, after harvesting, removing the spent two-year-old shoots that did not have time to lignify. In the spring, sanitary pruning is carried out, removing sick and frail shoots.

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

The drought-tolerant Himbo Top raspberries need a standard irrigation scheme as needed. Here it is not the frequency that is much more important, but the depth - the soil should be saturated with water by half a meter. To prevent moisture from spreading before saturating the ground, it is best to leave the planting in a trench. After watering, you need to mulch, which will save moisture and save the earth from drying out and cracking.

Top dressing begins from the second year, before the plant has enough nutrition introduced during planting. In spring, nitrogen fertilizers are needed, in summer potassium-phosphorus fertilizers, in autumn organic fertilizers - compost, dung, humus.

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

Himbo Top is characterized by excellent winter hardiness, but in areas of risky farming, the plant needs shelter for the winter. After pruning, the shoots are bent to the ground, pinned and covered with spruce branches, straw or non-woven material. Additional protection in the form of snowdrifts is only welcome.

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

This variety of raspberries is highly resistant to fungal diseases and pests. Nevertheless, the plant needs preventive treatments with insecticides and fungicides. For fungal diseases use "Fitosporin", "Oksikhom", "Topaz". To prevent attacks of pests, drugs such as "Iskra", "Karate", "Karbofos" and others are used.

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

Unfortunately, Himbo Top gives few root suckers, so breeding with own-rooted seedlings is very problematic, especially since they take root very poorly. For its cultivation, seedlings have to be bought, and the originators are to blame. It was their efforts to reduce the formation of root shoots that led to a shortage of their own planting material. In nurseries, you can always buy young plants of this variety.

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.
