Raspberry is a berry for which both children and adults have tender feelings. Gardeners selling fruit and berries, and gardeners who grow crops for personal consumption, have different priorities in choosing varieties. But the area of their interests sometimes coincides: Raspberry Brilliant fruiting abundantly and until late autumn, prolonging the pleasure of enjoying aromatic berries to the cold.
The story of the creation of the raspberry variety Brilliantovaya
The author of the variety is Ivan Vasilievich Kazakov, academician of the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences, an outstanding domestic scientist, breeder and teacher, one of the leading fruit growers and popularizer of repair varieties of raspberries.
Ivan Vasilievich Kazakov - the creator of the Brilliantovaya variety and about twenty more raspberry varieties
I.V. Kazakov developed a fundamentally new direction in the domestic selection of raspberries - the creation of varieties of the repairing type that form the main crop of berries on annual shoots in late summer - early autumn. He substantiated and formulated a model of an “ideal” repair grade. On the basis of interspecific hybridization, the first domestic varieties of the repairing type were created with a yield of 15-18 tons of berries per hectare and fruit weight up to 8-10 g. Varieties Apricot, Augustine, Indian Summer, Indian Summer-2, Diamond, Heracles, Golden Domes, Elegant are included in the State Register of selection achievements approved for use. These varieties are highly adaptable to environmental conditions, their cultivation technology is low cost and environmentally friendly.

Ivan Vasilyevich considered the great advantage of the repairing varieties that they do not need to be covered, since the fruiting of such raspberries occurs on annual shoots. So, having cut the bush in the fall, you can expect a harvest for next year, without worrying about the shelter of the plants or the problem of keeping pest larvae in shoots.
As for the several waves of fruiting expected from the repair raspberry varieties, this is worse, since in the northern regions the second wave of the crop simply does not have time to ripen. I had to make a lot of efforts to come to terms with this. But now there is no need to bother with hiding the bushes.

Planting varieties of raspberries Diamond
The author of the variety attached particular importance to where raspberries will grow, recommending choosing the sunniest places, preferably from the south side of the house. The most attractive areas are protected by a fence or brickwork. In this case, the wall not only protects against cold winds, but also accumulates heat, creating favorable conditions for the early ripening of fruits. The wind has a negative effect during the entire vegetation period of the plant: it interferes with pollination with insects, breaks fruit twigs and knocks ripe berries.
Raspberry plantings secrete sunny, sheltered from the wind
The future raspberry is planned so that between the bushes in the row there are gaps of 40-60 cm, between the rows leave up to 1.5-2 meters. This is done in order to have access to bushes abundantly covered with berries, while not injuring and breaking branches during harvesting.
Saplings are purchased from reliable suppliers, in large professional nurseries, to protect plants from damage from viral diseases and pests.
For landing:
- They dig a hole with a depth of 50-60 cm and a width of 40-50 cm. The trench method of planting is often practiced, then a continuous long trench is simply excavated, in which seedlings are placed at the right distance.
Raspberries are often planted in trenches.
- At the bottom of the landing pit or trench, humus or rotted horse manure is laid to a height of 15-20 cm. To provide potassium over the humus, ash is poured at a rate of 3-5 liters per bush. Some gardeners, not wanting to be limited to organic fertilizers, add minerals to the pit: potassium sulfate, superphosphate. Calculate approximately 1-2 tablespoons of granular fertilizer per bush. They fall asleep with a substrate consisting of their own fertile layer and humus in a ratio of 2: 1. If the earth is heavy in composition, you can add sand, in a volume equal to humus. Well spilled with water.
Raspberry planting pit refueling scheme
- The seedling is placed in the center of the pit. If planting in a trench, plants are placed at equal distances from each other. The root neck is buried by about 3-5 cm to stimulate the formation of additional shoots. Then they fall asleep with soil, trampling it so as not to leave voids.

- Once again abundantly watered and mulched.
Mulching keeps moisture and inhibits weed growth
Immediately after planting, the seedling is cut to a height of 15-20 cm. Of course, Raspberry Brilliantovaya in the first year will try to thank delicious berries, but it is better to cut off the flowers, as experienced gardeners advise, so that the plant does not waste strength, but grow stronger.
Having no my own experience in raspberry cultivation, being guided by book science, in the first year after planting, I honestly shortened the shoots to 15-20 cm. Since I planted it in the autumn, I forgot how to plant a seedling there next winter. In the spring, having discovered last year's stumps, for some reason they immediately cut them to the root and only then realized to look into the manual on pruning fruit crops. It was written there that in the spring you need to wait for the emergence of young shoots and after that cut off last year's root. Beginners are lucky! My raspberries, donated by friends without mentioning the name, turned out to be a maintenance grade. Pruning was good for her, and in the same year we had the opportunity to enjoy wonderful berries.
Features of growing raspberry varieties Brilliantovaya
Repairing raspberries gardeners with experience recommend mulching during the entire growing season. In addition, it is necessary to feed with an ash solution - pour 500 ml of ash with 5 liters of water, strain and bring the liquid under a bush. It is useful to nourish plants with infusion of mullein or bird droppings. Mullein or litter is diluted with water 1: 3, insisted for 2-3 days, then increase the volume of mullein infusion by five, and the solution with bird droppings by 7 times.
The more productive the variety, the more food it is provided with. Gardeners believe that a well-fed raspberry does not "run away."

An important step in the cultivation of repairing raspberry varieties is pruning. To treat yourself to early berries, you can leave one or two last year's twigs, but it is better to cut all the shoots to the root in the fall, and next year to get a crop from new annual shoots. No need to hurry with pruning, as the nutrients from the stems go to the roots, providing a future crop. Pruning is best done as late as possible, after the establishment of stable cold weather, sometimes already in the snow. And if there is no way to get to the cottage in the fall, then last year's cuts are cut off in the early spring.

Specialists and experienced summer residents plant both types of raspberries in order to have an early summer berry from ordinary raspberries, and pick the late one from repair varieties when the summer leaves. There is no need to argue about which berry is tastier. Of course, the best one that he himself planted, raised and plucked. Brilliant raspberry bushes, studded with clusters of purple berries decorate the garden, endow with a juicy delicate taste. They are also easy to care for.

The taste of the Diamond changes from the weather: it is very sweet, it can be none. We collect 2 times a week (it is necessary more often) and each time the taste is almost the same, even the location of the bush is different or rather a branch in the shade or in the sun and the taste is already sweeter. The variety is very respected by buyers, but not very respected - pickers of berries. The variety is fruitful to disgrace! Just VERY !!!! And the end, the edges of these berries are not visible ... sorry for the frost will fall ...

Advise, planted (transplanted) at the end of September rem. raspberries (Diamond, Golden Autumn - planted from pots, Orange.chu. and Bryansk marvelous - transplanted from another place) - can now be cut to the root? I’m just going to take a ride to the country and there is an opportunity, but in the spring I can only go in late April. The earth on the last visit was 20 centimeters frozen, there is already little hope of a prolonged thaw. Does it make sense to leave shoots (snow retention in my case is not necessary)? ... Taldomsky District.
Snow retention - only you know your site, how it is with moisture, dry or ... I have wind and snow accumulation here, it’s important that I’ve trimmed for several years only in spring in the second half of April.

Gardeners believe that the taste of the Diamond changes from climatic conditions. Why not? Raspberries respond to warmth and sunny weather, giving a gentle sweetness and aroma. It would be strange if I didn’t react.
