The Dobraiia raspberry variety features a medium-sized bush, standing from 1.5 to 1.7 meters tall, with upright, flexible, and thornless canes. The berries are large, weighing between 2.6 and 3.8 grams, with a broad-conical or blunt-conical shape and a raspberry or light red color. The flesh is tender, juicy, and aromatic, with a pleasant sweet taste, although sometimes a slight lack of sweetness is noted. Sugar content reaches 7.5%, acidity up to 12%, and Vitamin C up to 29.6 mg%.
The variety is classified as medium-early to medium-late, ripening from June to July. Yield is high and stable, reaching 7.3-8.0 tons per hectare (73-90 centners), making it attractive for commercial cultivation. The Dobraiia raspberry is suitable for growing in cold regions with moderate summers, including the Far East, Western and Eastern Siberia, the central region, and northern areas.
One of the key advantages of the variety is its high winter hardiness, which means that in conditions of the Altai region and similar areas, bushes do not require bending for winter. Additionally, the variety shows resistance to diseases such as purple spot, cane gall, and botrytis of berries, and demonstrates good drought resistance. These qualities make the Dobraiia raspberry a reliable choice for gardeners seeking a stable and quality crop in complex climatic conditions.
