The 'Hobbiest Svertlovka' raspberry variety is a winter-hardy and high-yielding variety developed at the Sverdlovsk Horticultural Experimental Station. The plant is of medium height and spread, with young canes having a characteristic reddish tint. The berries of this variety have a blunt-conical shape, red-pink color, and a weight of up to 5 grams. They are distinguished by a good sour-sweet taste, which is confirmed by a high tasting score.
Fruit ripening occurs simultaneously and early, allowing for a high yield — up to 3.5 kg per bush or 41-50 centners per hectare. The variety is resistant to main pests such as raspberry mite, raspberry beetle, and weevil, as well as being resistant to purple blotch and rust. Thanks to these qualities, 'Hobbiest Svertlovka' is suitable for cultivation in gardens of the Ural and Volga-Vyat regions.
For successful cultivation of the variety, spring or autumn planting is recommended with mandatory care, including watering, fertilizing, and pruning. These agronomic measures contribute to maintaining plant health and ensure stable fruiting. The variety is suitable for both amateur and industrial horticulture, combining high-quality berries and resistance to unfavorable conditions.
