The Brilliant raspberry variety is a remontant variety known for its high yield and ease of cultivation. Bushes reach a height of about one meter and are characterized by their decorative appearance. A feature of this variety is the annual removal of the above-ground part after fruiting, which allows for the use of low-cost and environmentally safe cultivation technologies. The variety is resistant to fungal diseases and pests, which significantly eases care and reduces the need for chemical agents.
The berries of the Brilliant raspberry have an intense ruby or dark-red color with a characteristic gloss, which gave the variety its name. The fruits are elongated, weighing up to 8 grams, dense and juicy, with an acid-sweet dessert taste and rich aroma. The berries separate easily from the receptacle, which facilitates harvest collection. Thanks to the dense structure of the fruits, the raspberry withstands transportation well and is suitable for fresh consumption as well as various types of processing. The yield per bush reaches up to 5 kilograms per season.
The Brilliant variety is characterized by a long fruiting period: berries begin to ripen in the first half of August and continue to bear fruit until the first frosts. The raspberry can bear fruit on both previous year's and new shoots, which ensures a stable and abundant harvest. The bushes are thornless, which makes berry picking more convenient. The variety is undemanding, winters well in a temperate climate, and is suitable for both private gardeners and large enterprises.
