Ripening terms

Zyugana is a remontant variety with a medium late ripening period. When cultivated in a two-year cycle, summer fruiting in the southern regions begins from the second decade of June, in more northern parts of the country - from the end of June. The harvest from young shoots can be expected from August to October. To prevent the late harvest from being beaten by frosts, it is recommended to cover the raspberry tree with agrofibre.

Yield

Zyugana has an outstanding yield, one plant is capable of producing up to 9 kg of fruits. Average yield is 6-8 kg per plant.

Berries and their taste

Large and homogeneous, light red, round-conical berries, the flesh is dense, juicy, the average weight is 6-7 g. The sweet-sugar dessert taste with a slight sourness and bright aroma is estimated by experts at 4.3 points out of 5 possible. High sugar content, balance of fruit acids, pronounced aroma resemble the taste of wild berries.

Tightly adhered drupes do not allow the fruits to crumble, in combination with a dense consistency, this allows them to be stored at room temperature for up to 3-4 days, in the refrigerator - up to 2 weeks, and also transported without damage and loss of presentation.

The fruits of Zyugana endure the summer heat, retaining their size, do not crumble when they reach maturity and from the wind, heavy rainfall almost does not harm the quality of the berries, only individual drupes can rot. Withstand fruits and light frosts, being covered with foliage or covering material. They use fresh raspberries, for freezing, making jam, jam.

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 characteristics of the variety allow it to be cultivated both in the open field and in greenhouses. For the convenience of working with plants and getting the best harvest, experts recommend using the trellis method of planting bushes. The unpretentiousness of the culture allows you to get by with the standard methods of care:

  • regular watering and loosening;

  • weeding and mulching;

  • top dressing.

Particular attention should be paid to watering, the root system is located close to the surface, there is a risk of drying out, especially during dry periods.

In regions with high humidity and insufficiently warm summer, the taste of raspberries becomes less sweet, and the consistency of the berries becomes watery, the root system can be affected by rot. In this case, it is recommended to grow the crop for one harvest. The warm climate and the late onset of cold weather will reveal all the advantages of the variety, will allow harvesting until frost.

When cultivating the variety in a two-year cycle, the upper part of the Zyugana shoot of the current year bears fruit in the first year from August to frost, after which the part of the stem that has borne fruit is cut off in late autumn. In the next season, the rest of the shoot will harvest in the summer, after which it is recommended to cut it out immediately after picking the berries, without waiting for the onset of autumn. This method of growing raspberries is suitable for more southern areas. In cold climates, cut off all the shoots bearing fruit in the current season. Next year, ripening will begin in early August, and most of the berries will have time to ripen before frost. Bush rationing is carried out annually: weak growth is removed. It is recommended to leave from 8 to 10 shoots per 1 m2.

Site selection and soil preparation

Raspberry Zyugan prefers sunny, protected from cold winds and drafts, southern slopes, small hills. A wall of an outbuilding or a fence can serve as protection from the wind.

Loose and fertile soil, with neutral acidity or slightly alkaline, is the key to future high crop yields. On acidic soils, a liming procedure is carried out. If the depth of groundwater on the land intended for the raspberry tree is higher than 1 m, it is better to refuse to place the culture in this place. Care must be taken when choosing antecedent crops. The soil on which other varieties of raspberries, tomatoes, potatoes, and peppers grew before the planting of Zyugana, is too poor for good plant growth. The best predecessors are legumes, cucumbers.

Spring planting of raspberry seedlings is carried out in the soil prepared in the fall:

  • digging up the site with the removal of weeds;

  • sandy soil is enriched with humus, forest land;

  • sand, compost, humus are introduced into clay soils;

  • holes or trenches with a depth of 40-50 cm are prepared, which are filled with humus, compost, wood ash is added.

In the spring, with the onset of warmth, when the earth warms up enough, they begin to plant seedlings.

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.
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

Reproduction of Zyugan's raspberries will not cause difficulties for gardeners - the culture gives a lot of root growth. An offspring is selected that is 30 cm away from the mother bush, carefully separated with a sharp shovel from the main rhizome and, with a lump of earth, transferred to the already prepared holes of a new raspberry tree. The root collar of the seedling is left at ground level. The planted young bushes are watered and mulched abundantly. It is recommended to plant seedlings, maintaining an interval of 50-70 cm, row spacing - 1.5 m.

The Swiss-born Zyugan variety has taken root in Russian gardens and is loved by many gardeners. The only difficulty is the acquisition of high-quality planting material. Recently there was a new product - Zyugana yellow, even sweeter and more aromatic.

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.
