Raspberry bushes are popular nowadays. The Ruby Giant variety became famous for its large berries. Such plants are unpretentious in care and show high yield rates.

Breeding history of the variety

Raspberry variety Ruby Giant bred at the Moscow Institute of Horticulture. This variety is considered new, its progenitor is the Patricia raspberry. Ruby Giant took the best quality indicators from the original variety, therefore it is often called the improved Patricia.

Description of the variety

This raspberry variety is a perennial plant with a one-year development cycle. This term refers to the ripening of berries on the branches that have grown this year. In ordinary garden raspberries, berries appear only on shoots that are 2 years old. The possibility of growing raspberries on the shoots of the first year significantly complicates the process of caring for plants. Pruning becomes more difficult as it needs to be treated very carefully. The Ruby Giant variety is cut in the autumn directly under the root. However, experienced gardeners have proven that pruning should be done like garden raspberries to get an early harvest of this raspberry variety. This principle is also valid for this variety, allowing a two-time harvest, despite the fact that the raspberry is not repaired. The first time the crop is harvested on young shoots of the current year, and the second ripens on late or annual ones.

Ripening terms

The Raspberry Ruby Giant ripens between July and September. The fruiting period is average.

Yield

The plant has a high yield, which can be achieved by properly pruning the plants. On average, more than 2 kg can be harvested from one bush, and for the entire ripening period this figure reaches 9 kg. Such a yield indicator justifies the labor invested in growing this plant. Raspberries of this variety can be eaten fresh, processed and frozen.

Berries and their taste

The berries are large in size, their weight can reach 11 g. The shape of a truncated cone and small drupes make the berries dense and elastic, which makes it possible to transfer transportation well over long distances.

The berries have a bright red or ruby ​​hue. Unlike regular garden raspberries, Ruby Giant has a sour taste that makes it fresh and spicy.

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

Cultivation of this variety is recommended in open sunny areas, where there is no wind and draft. In soils, the plant is unpretentious. A rich harvest will be achieved on loose loam that is capable of retaining moisture.

Site selection and soil preparation

Having chosen a sunny place for planting a plant, in a couple of weeks preparatory planting activities are carried out and grooves for planting are prepared.Mixed humus, peat, ash with superphosphate and turf soil are introduced as a nutrient substrate for 1/3 of the planting pit. The seedling is placed on a mound formed in a hole. It is very important to evenly distribute the roots, after which they are carefully covered with earth to the root collar, excluding the leaving of an air cavity. After planting, each bush must be thoroughly watered and mulched with peat.

Planting is carried out at a distance of 1.5 m between the bushes. The same distance should be kept between the rows.

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

Raspberry variety Ruby Giant is pruned according to the principle of ordinary garden raspberries. This allows you to increase its fruiting period, since the first crop is tied on last year's shoots, and the second on young plants.

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

Raspberry seedlings require careful watering, soil impregnation should be carried out to a depth of 40 cm. Particular attention is paid to watering during flowering and fruit setting. Moisturizing activities are stopped immediately before harvesting. And also carry out abundant watering before preparing the raspberry tree for winter.

Top dressing must be applied at least 3 times per season. The first time raspberries are fed with nitrogen fertilizers in the spring, and the second time is when the plants bear fruit. A phosphorus-potassium composition is required here. To support the root system of the plant during the wintering period, complex mixtures are introduced in the fall.

The lack of nutrients will affect the crushing of berries, yellowing and drying of the leaves.

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.

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 characterized by a small amount of root formation, therefore propagation is carried out using cuttings and green shoots. According to statistics, cuttings take root worse than propagation through overgrowths. However, cuttings can be prepared in large quantities.

Raspberry Ruby Giant is very popular among gardeners. Despite the presence of sourness in the taste of berries, raspberries have natural flavor characteristics, as they resemble the true raspberry flavor without sweeteners. The plant is unpretentious in care and is able to please the owners of the site with a magnificent harvest throughout the summer season.

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.
