Remontant varieties of raspberries, which have an extended fruiting period and high yield rates, are very popular with domestic gardeners. One of these varieties is the raspberry Caramel, which differs not only in the excellent taste characteristics of the berries, but in their excellent keeping quality.

Breeding history of the variety

This variety has been developed for 10 years by many breeders in Russia. As a result, thanks to the efforts of the researcher I. V. Shiblev from the Shkolny Sad kennel, a fragrant variety Caramelka was created, which in 2016 was included in the State Register. It is recommended for cultivation throughout Russia.

Description of the variety

Caramel has a medium-sized erect bush, its height does not exceed 150-170 cm. Young shoots are covered with a waxy bloom, and pubescent green leaves turn purple at the end of fruiting. The bushes do not need additional pollinators, as they are completely self-fertile. Due to powerful shoots, they do not need to be attached to supports. The medium-sized, shamrock-shaped leaves with a sharp end are juicy green in color. The flowering of the bush is very elegant, large white flowers are collected in racemose inflorescences.

Ripening terms

The plant has an average ripening period. Depending on the region, fruiting can begin in late July or early August and continue until frost.

Yield

The variety is considered very productive, up to 5 kg of berries can be harvested from a bush per season, and up to 20 tons per hectare in industrial plantings.

Berries and their taste

The cone-shaped berries have a juicy and firm flesh with a sweet taste and a bright raspberry aroma. The average weight of one berry is 6 g, and the largest one can grow up to 12 g. Fruits are easily removed from the stalk, are distinguished by good transportability, do not lose their shape and do not flow within 3-4 days. They have absolute versatility, they can be used both for fresh consumption and for various desserts and preparations. The tasting score on a five-point scale is 4.6 points.

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

Raspberry bushes prefer to grow in the sun, in an elevated and open place, away from groundwater. They have an average drought resistance. They have a high ability to adapt to adverse weather factors.

Site selection and soil preparation

Autumn is considered the best time for planting raspberries, but planting in spring does not predict a good harvest, since all the forces of the bush will go to survival.

Experienced gardeners recommend not planting raspberries in places where tomatoes, peppers or strawberries were previously grown. Places after growing cucumbers, zucchini and legumes are perfect. Raspberry bushes are recommended to be planted with red currants, cherries or apple trees.

In regions with scorching sun and dry climates, the plant grows best in partial shade. For this, places along the fence or any building are perfect.

For Caramel, black earth or loam is ideal. After 8-10 years, the concentration of nutrients in the ground is significantly reduced, so it is necessary to transplant the bush to another place. Since the raspberry bushes are very small, at least 0.7 m can be left between the bushes, at least 1 m from other varieties.

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

Like all remontant varieties, in the fall, raspberry bushes are completely cut off at the root, so that next year the fruiting will be on young shoots. At the beginning of summer, it is recommended to remove young growth. Sanitary pruning is necessary throughout the season to prevent thickening of the bushes,

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

Raspberries are very susceptible to lack of watering, so it must be done regularly, about 10 liters of water must be poured onto the bush. In especially rainy summers, watering is reduced as needed. Stagnation of moisture can negatively affect not only the taste of the berry, but also provoke various diseases.

The yield also depends on the content of nutrients. Therefore, during digging in the spring, mineral fertilizers, ammonium nitrate or potassium sulfate are added. At the beginning of summer, they are fed with nitrophos. Raspberries also respond well to organic fertilizers (mullein, chicken droppings or ash).

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

Caramel is quite frost-resistant, but this only applies to regions where there is a lot of snow. In areas with little or no snow, it is better to cover the bushes for the winter; agrofibre, straw or mulch are suitable for this.

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 has good resistance to various kinds of diseases and pests. Despite this, with inappropriate agricultural technology or in especially unfavorable seasons, bushes can be affected by anthracnose, purple spot or gray rot.The first signs of disease are damage to the leaf and its fall, drying of the buds and deformation of the fruit. For any symptoms of the disease, it is necessary to immediately treat the bushes with 1% Bordeaux liquid or copper sulfate. Fallen and diseased foliage must be removed and burned. The thickening of the plantings should not be allowed.

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

There are several ways to breed.

The most laborious and uncommon among gardeners is the seed method, so we will not pay attention to it.

The simplest and most used is reproduction by dividing the bush. In autumn or early spring, the bushes are shortened and divided into several parts. Each of them should have developed roots or there should be 2-3 shoots. Such seedlings can be planted in a permanent place.

And it is also possible to propagate by root shoots, which is a very simple and affordable option. Moreover, the roots of Caramel are very prone to this. To do this, it is necessary to transplant the young process to a permanent place. In order for them to take root as well as possible, it is better to shade them and cut off the leaves.

You can also carry out propagation with green cuttings. To do this, at the beginning of summer, cuttings are cut with a length of 10-15 cm so that the lower part is white. For better root formation, they must be kept in a stimulator for 12 hours, and then planted for rooting under a film or under a jar.

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.
