Yellow raspberry “Fugitive”: growing an unusual variety

Description of the raspberry variety Beglyanka

Raspberries of the Beglyanka variety form medium-sized, non-spreading bushes 110-130 cm high, the number of stems is no more than 8 pieces. The shoots are erect and require a mandatory garter to the trellis, since there is a risk of them breaking off under the weight of the berries. The color of two-year-old stems of Beglyanka is grayish-brown, young shoots of the current year are light green in color with a characteristic waxy coating, without pubescence.

Yellow raspberry Beglyanka is not a thornless variety. Its branches are covered with sparse, shortened, hard, greenish thorns, concentrated at the base of the shoot. The leaves are medium in size, the usual shape for raspberries with pointed teeth along the edge. The leaf blades are wrinkled, painted a rich green color, and have no lint. The laterals (fruit branches) are covered with a thin waxy coating.

Beglyanka raspberry flowers are white, no more than 1 cm in diameter, with many long dark stamens. The inflorescences are racemose, formed on the tips of the shoots and in the axils of the leaves. During the flowering period, raspberry bushes emit a subtle honey aroma.

Beglyanka berries have a round-conical shape and are a complex fruit of numerous drupes fused together. The color is warm, golden yellow. The pulp is tender, juicy, sweet and sour taste with an unobtrusive raspberry aroma. Sugar content is 7.1-7.2%, acidity is about 1.5%. The weight of an average berry is 2.5-2.7 g. The size of the Beglyanka raspberry fruit is shown in the photo below.

Growing Beglyanka raspberries is possible in a large part of Russia. Subject to the rules of agricultural technology and gentle climatic conditions, up to 7.6 tons of berries are harvested from 1 hectare on large farms.

Golden autumn

Raspberries of the remontant variety Golden Autumn can withstand frosts down to –30°C. In addition, it attracts gardeners with large, tasty fruits, fairly high yields (about 2.5 kg per bush) and good transportability.

It is worth considering that Golden Autumn seedlings must be planted in a well-lit area, since raspberries of this variety are photophilous and do not do well in the shade.

Characteristics of the variety

Yellow raspberry Beglyanka is a remontant and early ripening variety. Medium compact bushes with high productivity, frost resistance and decorative fruits are the main parameters for which many gardeners love the variety.

Drought resistance, frost resistance

The author's description of the Beglyanka raspberry indicates high resistance to frost and average resistance to heat and drought. This variety is successfully cultivated in most regions of the Russian Federation. According to reviews from gardeners, Beglyanka raspberries overwinter well under cover even in harsh climatic conditions.

Productivity and fruiting

The period of active fruiting of the remontant raspberry Beglyanka occurs in the second half of July - early September. The berries ripen unevenly, which makes it possible to enjoy fresh raspberries for a long time. Yellow raspberries have a rich, pleasant taste, but are less aromatic compared to classic red varieties. The pulp of Beglyanka contains less anthocyanins, so it is recommended for consumption by pregnant women, young children and allergy sufferers.

One raspberry bush per season can bring 2-2.2 kg of ripe berries, from 1 m² you can collect 700-800 g of fruit, and in a good year, even more. After the onset of maturity, Beglyanka does not fall off for a long time, like most yellow varieties.

Area of ​​application of fruits

Yellow raspberries are often used to decorate all kinds of desserts due to the highly decorative nature of the fruit. Beglyanka is good both fresh and in homemade preparations (jams, compotes, jams). During shock freezing, the berries do not lose their taste.

The only disadvantage of the Beglyanka variety is its poor transportability, which is why it is grown mainly in private gardens for personal use and not for sale.

Resistance to diseases and pests

Raspberries of the Beglyanka variety are resistant to major diseases. The exception is damage by witch's broom - the growth of a bush under the influence of pathogenic fungi. In the event of pests (spider mites, raspberry gnats, weevils), the variety resists parasites better than many others and quickly recovers after timely treatment with chemicals.

Advice! To increase the Runaway's immunity to diseases, spores of edible mushrooms are sown among the bushes. The symbiosis of raspberries with mycelium will help resist diseases and better absorb moisture and nutrients.

Advantages and disadvantages of the variety

Beglyanka raspberries cannot be called ideal. Every culture has its pros and cons. The undeniable advantages of the variety include the following:

• good winter hardiness;
• smooth ripening of berries;
• interesting appearance;
• high taste qualities;
• hypoallergenic;
• convenient size of bushes for harvesting;
• resistance to diseases and pests.

The disadvantages of the Beglyanka raspberry variety are:

• the presence of thorns on the shoots;
• short shelf life of fresh fruits;
• poor transportability.

Time to harvest

The fruits do not ripen at the same time, which gives summer residents the opportunity to enjoy the berries for several months. Raspberries are picked in the morning or evening, in dry weather. For better storage, the berries are picked with the stalk and placed in a low container (no more than 3 tiers).

Fugitive is poorly preserved and transported. The shelf life of fruits in the refrigerator is about four days. Most often they are used fresh.

Important! Yellow raspberries contain a low percentage of anthocyanins, which cause allergies. Therefore, it is recommended for pregnant women, allergy sufferers, and small children to consume it.

Raspberry Beglyanka is an excellent option for providing the whole family with vitamins in the second half of summer and early autumn. High productivity, ease of care, and a large growing area have led to the recognition of Beglyanka as one of the most popular yellow-fruited varieties.

Planting and caring for Beglyanka raspberries

Correct and timely planting of raspberries is a determining factor in the future growth, development and fruiting of the crop. The timing of planting, the right site, the composition of the soil and the quality of planting material - these are what you need to pay special attention to.

Recommended timing

Planting work is carried out in spring and autumn. The soil temperature must be at least 15°C. Spring raspberry seedlings take root better and during the summer period they manage to build up a powerful root system in order to bear the first harvest in the next season. At the same time, both last year’s and new young shoots bear fruit.

Choosing a suitable location

The place for the raspberry garden is chosen to be sunny and quiet. Often the crop is planted along the fence on the south side of the site, where the bushes will be reliably protected from cold winds and drafts. Raspberries grow best in fertile and loose soil with a neutral or slightly acidic pH.

Warning! It is not recommended to plant raspberries where tomatoes or potatoes used to grow, since these crops are susceptible to the same diseases.

Selection and preparation of planting material

It is advisable to purchase raspberry seedlings from large, time-tested nurseries. In this case, purchasing an infected plant or the wrong variety is practically impossible. When inspecting a seedling, you need to pay attention to the condition of the root system (absence of suspicious spots, rot, damaged fragments). Each specimen must have from 2 to 4 healthy elastic shoots and at least 3 buds.

If the Runaway seedlings were not pruned immediately after digging up from the mother plantation, they are shortened to 30 cm. The roots are dipped in mash and in this form are moved to the planting site. The root system of the seedling must not be allowed to dry out; to do this, cover it with a damp cloth.

Landing algorithm

Raspberries of the Beglyanka variety are planted in 2 ways - in holes and in trenches. 2 weeks before planting, dig holes 60 cm deep and 70 cm in diameter, following the scheme:

• between neighboring bushes - 1 m;
• between rows – 2 m.

With the trench method, the distance between rows is reduced to 1 m, between seedlings - to 0.5 m. The dimensions of the trench are 50 cm in width and depth.

The algorithm of actions for any of the 2 methods is no different:

1. A layer of drainage (broken brick, shards, crushed stone) is placed at the bottom.
2. Organic and mineral fertilizers (humus or compost, superphosphate) are applied to the seedling.
3. A young raspberry bush is placed in a hole, the roots are straightened and sprinkled with earth, without deepening the root collar.
4. Plantings are watered abundantly with warm, settled water.

Flaws

The main disadvantages include:

1. The fruits are beautiful, but do not tolerate transportation well, so they are grown for personal consumption or in small batches to sell quickly locally.
2. Presence of thorns.
3. Average yield.

Time and place of planting Beglyanka in open ground

It is better to plant the variety in the spring (March-April), depending on the region, so that the plant has time to take root before the heat begins; in the southern regions, autumn plantings are preferable (October).

Choose a sunny, windless place, preferably near a fence or on a slight hill. The heat-loving berry does not tolerate shading or drafts.

The soil is preferable to neutral acidity, but it is also possible to grow on slightly acidic soils. In case of high acidity, it is necessary to add dolomite flour or ordinary lime.

Raspberries need a reasonable amount of moisture in swampy areas, and in flooded areas the plant will die. The level of groundwater is also important, at least 1.5 meters, otherwise soaking of the roots cannot be avoided.

The best predecessors are legumes or rapeseed; planting after tomatoes, potatoes and garden strawberries is contraindicated.

Selection of seedlings

Buying the right planting material is a task of first importance for growing healthy and productive bushes. Avoid unscrupulous sellers who cannot guarantee quality and variety.

It is better to buy in large shopping centers or garden farms with a good reputation. You can buy from a neighbor, after first looking at the mother plant, making sure of the variety and the absence of parasites.

Requirements for a seedling:

1. Stem height 45 cm.
2. Root length 15 cm.
3. The kidneys are not opened.
4. There should be no damage or new growths on the plant.

Good planting material is the key to a rich harvest.

Landing the Fugitive

The site for the raspberry garden must be prepared in advance. To do this you need to carry out a few simple manipulations:

1. Remove all weeds manually or using herbicides.
2. Dig up the bed, evenly adding rotted manure and superphosphate.
3. Prepare planting holes 40 by 40 and at least 30 cm deep.
4. Place manure and superphosphate at the bottom of the hole and cover with fertile soil.
5. Can be planted in trenches (depth and width 0.5 meters). The distance between bushes is about 0.5 meters, between rows at least 1 meter.

Landing algorithm:

1. Soak the roots in mullein solution.
2. Carefully, straightening the roots and avoiding upward bends, place the seedling in the prepared hole, sprinkle with soil and compact.
3. Water the seedling, at least 5 liters per bush, and fill in the resulting depressions.
4. Mulch with a layer of hay, straw, sawdust or peat at least 10 cm thick.

Garter

A compact, low shrub can do just fine without a garter. But to ensure proper air circulation, uniform sunlight and significantly facilitate the process of caring for and removing fruits, it is better to make a support.

There are several options for garter, but the most effective and simplest is a trellis. It’s very simple to make: at the beginning and end of the row, hammer in a post and pull the wire over them. Tie each shoot separately.

Watering raspberry bushes

After planting, the bushes need regular and reasonable watering. During the first week, plants need daily watering with warm water. Further, in the first month. once a week. Well-rooted seedlings can be watered once a month.

During drought periods, the frequency of watering increases. Ideally, the soil between the bushes should not dry out.

You can water in several ways:

1. Directly under the bush (8-10 liters of some standing water).
2. Sprinkling. It is advisable to apply in the morning or evening to prevent sunburn on the leaves.
3. Drip irrigation. Uniform humidification and greater water savings.

After watering, the soil must be loosened shallowly to “knock off the crust.”

Fertilizer application

If the raspberry plant is located in a fertile area or the soil has undergone pre-planting preparation, then the plants should have enough nutrients for the first 2-3 years. Raspberries always respond to additional fertilizers with good yields.

In the spring, after the snow melts, you can add organic matter (rotted manure or chicken droppings). Urea with peat works well, as does superphosphate. During the period of flowering and ripening of berries, the subshrub especially needs complex fertilizers. In autumn, after fruiting has completed, it is recommended to apply organic fertilizers.

Before each application of fertilizer, the mulch layer must be removed and the peat must be dug up. Weeding between rows must be done 1-2 times a month.

Raspberry pruning

Pruning is carried out in autumn, spring and as needed, removing old and diseased plants. The cut stems must be taken far beyond the raspberry patch and burned.

Wintering of the Runaway

The semi-shrub easily tolerates frosts under a good layer of snow. If the winter is expected to have little snow or the area where raspberries are planted does not stay long, the plants need shelter. To do this, the bushes are tied together and pinned to the ground. You can cover it with improvised materials (sawdust, leaves) or non-woven materials. Nowadays, you can purchase special shelters for wintering shrubs in gardening stores.

Reproduction

Gardeners use several ways to quickly spread their favorite berries, the simplest of which is by basal suckers. In early spring, before the buds open, they dig up a shoot, always with a lump of earth, and transplant it to a permanent place. Water and mulch.

Aftercare

Raspberries of the Beglyanka variety do not require special conditions from the gardener. It is necessary to perform sanitary pruning annually, removing weak and old shoots. In the spring you need to apply organic fertilizers to raspberries, in the summer – complex fertilizers, and in the autumn you need to support the bush with potassium and phosphorus. Beglyanka is watered regularly, especially during the period of fruit ripening. To retain moisture in the soil and prevent the growth of weeds, the plantings are mulched. To avoid breaking the branches, it is better to tie this variety of raspberries to a support, using only synthetic materials.

In central Russia, Beglyanka raspberries are not covered for the winter. In Siberia and the Urals, it is necessary to mulch the soil with sawdust, peat, rotted manure, a layer of 20-25 cm. The branches are bent to the ground, fixed and covered with spruce branches or agrofibre. To protect against rodents, the base of the raspberry bush is tied with pine branches. It is important to add phosphorus-potassium fertilizers to the soil before winter; they will increase the frost resistance of the Beglyanka.

Golden domes

Raspberries of the Golden Domes variety are simple and unpretentious in care. It winters well, practically does not get sick and produces a good berry harvest - more than 2 kg per bush.

The fruits of this variety are fragrant, juicy with a slight sourness.

Diseases and pests, methods of control and prevention

This variety is susceptible to a disease such as mycoplasma growth of raspberries. The disease is fungal in nature and manifests itself in the form of weak, short, non-fruiting shoots growing from one point. It is better to dig up the affected raspberry bush and burn it. The disease can be transmitted along with planting material, as well as with insects (aphids, leafhoppers, green bugs).

Common pests of the Beglyanka raspberry are:

• spider mite;
• raspberry-strawberry weevil;
• raspberry mosquito.

For prevention, in early spring and autumn, the soil under the bushes is loosened 8-10 cm deep, weeds and dead parts of plants are removed. During the flowering period, a film is spread on the ground and the pests that have taken a liking to the raspberry tree are shaken off. A more radical way to combat unwanted insects on raspberries is to chemically treat the plantings with insecticides (Iskra, Konfidor, Karbofos). Spraying is carried out on a quiet cloudy day or in the evening.

Advice! To repel pests, dill, calendula, white mustard, and black root are planted next to raspberries.

Orange miracle

The Orange Miracle variety got its name for its large fruits of rich golden color. They have a delicate aroma and sweet juicy pulp. The variety is remontant, so every year (in late autumn or early spring) the entire above-ground part must be cut out almost close to the ground.

Raspberries of this variety are planted in well-lit, windproof areas. It is not necessary to cover the bushes for the winter.
