Raspberry OSARENIE

The 'Osarenie' raspberry variety is a mid-ripening dessert type with medium-sized berries, red color, and a weakly hairy surface. The berries have a blunt-conical shape, a sweet-sour taste with a pleasant aroma, and a high vitamin C content—about 45 mg per 100 g. The pulp is characterized by good juiciness and a balanced taste, confirmed by a tasting score of 4.4 points. The average berry mass is about 2 grams, while sugar and acid content reaches 5.6% and 23.7% respectively.

The 'Osarenie' bushes are medium-sized, upright with moderate shoot-forming ability. Two-year-old stems are brown with slight thorniness, while one-year-old canes are reddish with a waxy coating and medium hairiness. Thorns on the canes are purple, short, and of medium hardness, concentrated mainly in the middle part of the cane. Leaves are large, dark green, wrinkled with blunt-toothed edges. Side fruit-bearing branches have medium hairiness and a waxy coating.

The variety is characterized by high winter hardiness, moderate heat tolerance, and drought resistance, making it suitable for cultivation in the central region and some other regions. It is resistant to major diseases and pests, which facilitates care and increases harvest reliability. Fruiting occurs on shoots of the previous year, and yield under favorable conditions can reach up to 124.5 centners per hectare. For successful cultivation, proper site selection, use of trellises, and adherence to agronomic practices are recommended, including frost protection and proper mulching.
