Balzam

The Raspberry 'Balzam' variety is a popular and universal variety known for its high yield and stable fruiting. The bushes are upright and sprawling, reaching a height of about 180 cm. The berries are dark purple, large, with a delicate texture and a pronounced aroma combining sour-sweet notes, reminiscent of wild forest raspberry. Thanks to their taste qualities, the berries are excellent for fresh consumption, as well as for making desserts, jams, and freezing.

The 'Balzam' variety was bred at the Russian Research Institute of Horticulture and adapted for cultivation in the central region and the south of Russia. It is characterized by medium-early maturity — berries are ready for harvest in mid-June to early July. The plant is resistant to fungal infections, spider mites, and other pests, which significantly facilitates care and reduces the risk of crop loss.

For successful cultivation of 'Balzam' raspberry, it is recommended to choose well-drained areas with fertile soil, as the variety does not tolerate excess moisture and poor soils. With proper care and adherence to agricultural technology requirements, this variety will delight with a stable and abundant harvest of aromatic berries, which will become a wonderful addition to your garden or country estate.
