Remontant raspberry varieties

And here are the characteristics of several more varieties of raspberries created by Academician of RAASKHNIL I. V. Kazakov and his colleagues:

Eurasia

Berries weighing 3.7-4.5 g and up to 6.3 g, conical, dark raspberry color, dense, transportable, well separated from the fruit, hang on the bush for 5-7 days without losing quality indicators. They have a sweet and sour dessert taste, begin to ripen in the middle lane in the first decade of August and end fruiting in mid-September. For 1.5-2 months of fruiting, you can collect up to 5-6 kg of berries from the bush, but even under such a load, the shoots do not linger, since the Eurasia variety has a pronounced standard structure of the bush. Outwardly, it looks like a small tree 1.5-1.8 m high. The autumn fruiting zone occupies more than half the length of the shoots. The Eurasia variety is distinguished by its high resistance to diseases and pests, is capable of growing and producing a good harvest in various soil and climatic conditions. Due to its peculiar, slightly pointed openwork arranged leaves and abundant fruiting, this variety is an original decoration of the garden and can be used for decorative purposes. Possessing a powerful root system, the variety is highly drought-resistant, while having a standard type of bush, it is promising for machine harvesting.the variety is distinguished by high drought resistance, having a standard type of bush, it is promising for machine harvesting.the variety is distinguished by high drought resistance, having a standard type of bush, it is promising for machine harvesting.

The disadvantage of the Eurasia cultivar is its weak multiplication factor. The Eurasia variety is recommended for cultivation in the Central and Central Black Earth regions, transferred for further testing and reproduction in the Urals, on the border of Europe and Asia.

The fruiting zone takes up more than half of their length.
