Raspberry Unreachable

Raspberries are a favorite berry of adults and children. Breeders have bred many wonderful varieties. This variety immediately attracts attention with its name - Inaccessible. It sounds beautiful and proud, so it's worth figuring out how it differs.

The author of Raspberry Inaccessible is the Russian scientist V.V. Kichina. The variety was bred in the 80s of the twentieth century in Moscow. Victor Valerianovich has been developing new varieties of berries for 39 years. At first, the raspberry was called R-34. In the 90s, it received the name by which it is known to this day. The variety has been approved for breeding since 1992.

The raspberry bush is low, barely reaching 100-120 cm. Compact, spreading, it can grow up to one and a half meters with a high level of agricultural technology. On annual shoots, there is no wax bloom, and small thorns are distributed throughout the branch.

The spreading of the bush is no more than 80 cm in diameter, the foliage is medium. Inaccessible has strong, resilient stems that can withstand a friendly harvest of berries. The color of the leaves is light green with slight wrinkles, pointed at the end.

The fruiting period of the Inaccessible begins in late July or early August and lasts until the first frost. It belongs to the early varieties. Fruiting can begin earlier in favorable climatic conditions. Usually, in the middle lane, this period falls on August 5-7.

The inaccessible is growing in all Russian regions. Adapted for cultivation in the northern regions. It is grown in the Far East, Siberia, in the north-west of the country, in regions with a harsh climate.

The repaired variety begins fruiting at the beginning of the summer season. Two-year-old shoots give the first crop, the second grows on young stems. Experts advise to refrain from harvesting the first harvest in order to get the amicable ripening of the late summer harvest. A high-yielding variety, one bush is capable of producing at least 6 kg of berries per season. The duration of fruiting is about a week, in just a season it turns out to collect 5-6 harvests of fruits.

Large berries about 4 cm with a pronounced aroma, weighing 5-10 grams. The dark red raspberry Inaccessible has an elongated conical shape with a flattened tip. Medium consistency, sweet flesh.

Up to 4 branches are formed on the fruiting top. The berries are located next to each other, forming piles of up to 50 pieces. Unreachable is not suitable for long-term storage. Transportability is impossible, as the fruits will lose their shape.

Raspberry Inaccessible is demanding to care for. It is planted by bush and trench methods. When planting, a distance of 0.7 to 2 meters is left between the bushes. Raspberries planted in spring do not always have time to bear fruit.The best landing time is September and October. Before winter, bushes should be tied, bent and covered.

This variety is characterized by low resistance to adverse weather conditions. For raspberries Inaccessible, flat areas are suitable, protected from cold northerly winds. The berry needs sunlight without direct sunlight.

Loamy soil with neutral acidity works well. If the indicator is overestimated, and peaty soil predominates, 100 grams of lime is added to the compost mixture. To prepare the mixture, you will need 10 kg of compost, 200 grams of phosphate rock and 200 grams of potassium sulfate.

The area must be dry so that water does not linger on it. For good fruiting of the Unreachable, the soil must contain a significant amount of humus.

In the fall, the branches that bear fruit are cut off flush with the ground. In the spring, dry, broken branches are removed. The top of the stems is trimmed to the level of the first healthy bud.

During spring pruning, no more than 7 shoots are left per bush, the rest are removed at ground level. Pruning is not recommended in warm weather. Such a procedure will cause the growth and development of new kidneys to be active at an inappropriate period.

Unattainable requires constant, abundant watering once every 10 days. You can apply drip irrigation. Drought resistance is low, so the soil must be well moistened. They are fed regularly throughout the season. Lack of fertilizer can cause chlorosis.

Winter-hardy variety, tolerates frosts down to –20 ° C. At -30 ° C, shelter is required, especially in winters with little snow, where frost is replaced by thaw. The shelter of the raspberry tree should be 10 cm, shavings, sawdust and peat are suitable.

Raspberry Inaccessible is resistant to many diseases and pests inherent in this culture. If the conditions of agricultural technology are violated:

• a raspberry stem fly may appear at the beginning of bud break, during the growing season;

• raspberry beetle - before flowering and bud opening;

• raspberry stem gall midge - before flowering, during the growing season.

Diseases are rare, but gray rot, anthracnose, chlorosis, root cancer can occur. Control agents - fungicides, successfully use Bordeaux liquid and copper sulfate.

Many new shoots appear every year, so it can be propagated in different ways: seedlings and root cuttings. To breed raspberries with seedlings, you need high-quality planting material.

The bush is deepened by 6 cm, which is much lower than the previous growth. The growth point should be covered with earth. After the completion of the work, it is necessary to water the plant well so that the soil adheres tightly to the roots.

If you plan to grow raspberries with shoots, then you need to dig up the offspring with part of the maternal root. Plant in a well-fertilized hole. Spring is considered by many to be the best time to root shoots.

Propagation by cuttings. This method is more complex. It is necessary to excavate the bush and separate several strong roots with a diameter of at least 5 mm from the main root. Next, you need to divide them into cuttings 10 cm long and plant them in the hole, water abundantly.

One of the best bred varieties, and those gardeners who have been able to adapt to the tricks of growing the Inaccessible do not get tired of praising it. For many, Inaccessible has become a favorite variety.

First of all, it is a high yield. Large, fragrant raspberries, compact bushes. The fruits are ideal for winter harvesting. It takes a little care and attention to get an excellent harvest.
