The number of raspberry varieties is growing every year. Breeders do not stop there and regularly develop new varieties with increased berry sizes and higher yields.

A striking example of a fruiting variety is the Red Queen raspberry. It is worth considering in more detail its features and methods of cultivation.

Description of the variety

Raspberry Krasnaya Koroleva is a non-repairable variety. It was bred by domestic breeders. The shrub has powerful stems. The peculiarity of the variety is the absence of thorns on the stem, which makes caring for the plant easier.

The Krasnaya Koroleva variety grows in many regions of the country, quickly takes root even in harsh conditions, and in warm autumn it is able to show signs of renovation. The pluses of raspberries include:

  • powerful bushes;

  • resistance to weather conditions;

  • self-fertility.

Among the disadvantages of the variety, the obligatory arrangement of trellises is distinguished, but experienced gardeners note that it is possible to do without them.

Ripening terms

Raspberries have an average period of fruit formation. Berries usually appear in early June when it comes to warm regions. In colder areas, ripening occurs a little later. It is interesting that the bush pleases with berries until mid-autumn.

Yield

One raspberry bush is capable of producing from 4 to 6 kg of berries.

Berries and their taste

The culture pleases gardeners with large berries, the maximum fruit weight is 6 g. The color of the fruit is dark red, the shape is blunt-conical. As for the taste, the berries are sweet and sour, exuding a smell during the rainy season. Jam, compotes and other desserts are made from raspberries.

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 culture does not grow well in the shade. To achieve large fruits and improve the taste of berries, it is worth planting a bush away from trees. The distance from the extreme tree to the raspberry seedling should be more than 4 meters. Otherwise, the Red Queen will bear a minimum of fruit.

Site selection and soil preparation

Raspberry Red Queen prefers open spaces where sunlight penetrates well. The landing site must be protected from winds, especially from the north. Shrubs should not be planted near tall trees.

The variety is planted in pre-prepared holes or trenches. The size of the holes should be 40x40 cm, the depth should be at least 50 cm.If we are talking about a trench, then its length should be 40 cm.At the same time, at the bottom of the hole, you need to make a small mound of soil, and also fertilize the soil in advance, where the seedling will be installed.

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.
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 Red Queen is highly sensitive to watering. In case of rare rains, it is worth organizing weekly watering for the plant. Otherwise, the bushes will dry out and will not bear fruit.

The amount of watering is determined by the climatic zone in which the crop grows. Basic rules for watering:

  • it is worth watering the plant with rain or settled water;

  • watering is carried out at the root;

  • you do not need to excessively moisten the soil;

  • it is recommended to add water in the morning or in the evening.

To achieve a high yield, you need to work hard. Particular attention should be paid to plant nutrition. It is necessary to use nutrients and mineral fertilizers as top dressing. In this case, you should focus on the following chart:

  1. in the spring, wood ash, manure and humus should be added to the soil. And you can also fertilize the soil with organic materials to improve its fertility and help the seedlings take root;

  2. in the first half of summer, when raspberries are blooming, it is necessary to treat the soil with urea;

  3. closer to mid-August, during the active fruiting of the bush, it is recommended to apply complex fertilizers;

  4. finally, in September, the soil should be fertilized with phosphorus-potassium fertilizing.

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

Raspberries tolerate winter well, if you approach the preparation of the bush correctly. Key recommendations:

  1. in the autumn, before the onset of frost, you need to apply top dressing in the form of manure or potash fertilizer;

  2. the next step is pruning the shrub to remove old branches that will not bear fruit next year;

  3. then you need to collect young twigs and tie them to the trellis.

This approach will help the raspberries survive the winter and bear fruit next year.

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 variety, like any raspberry, suffers from pest attacks and is susceptible to disease. Of course, breeders have tried to increase the resistance of the Red Queen, but you should not count on a miracle. The main pests of raspberries include:

  • aphids;

  • gall midge;

  • raspberry beetle;

  • nut-making.

Chemical preparations will help to overcome beetles: "Fufanon", "Actellik", "Iskra-M" and other means. Additionally, gardeners recommend changing the place of growing crops every 7 years and mulching the soil. If pests have infected the branches of the plant, they must be cut off and burned.

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

The variety is propagated mainly by root shoots. This is a fairly simple method that most farmers use. And also the bush is propagated by cuttings. Finally, micro-cloning raspberry sprouts can be bought in specialized stores. This breeding option is suitable for industrialists.

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.
