The 'Shining' raspberry variety is a universal and resilient variety developed at the All-Russian Scientific Institute of Plant Selection and Breeding (NIISS) in Barnaul specifically for harsh Siberian conditions. The bushes are medium-sized, reaching heights of 1.3-1.5 meters, spreading with elastic canes and moderate cane productivity. The variety is characterized by high winter hardiness, resistance to winter desiccation, and is weakly affected by purple spot, making it a reliable choice for cultivation in various regions, including Western Siberia, Eastern Siberia, the Volga-Vyatsk region, and the Urals.
The 'Shining' raspberry berries are large, weighing from 2.6 to 5.6 grams, dense, black in color with a glossy surface. They possess a pleasant sweet-and-sour taste, making them universal for fresh consumption, as well as drying, freezing, and other types of processing. Berry ripening occurs early with an extended fruiting period, allowing for harvest over an extended period. The variety's yield is average — about 8.6 tons per hectare, with a maximum reaching 10.9 tons, which corresponds to approximately 3.5 centners per hectare.
Growing 'Shining' raspberry requires adherence to certain agro-technical recommendations; however, in general, this variety is not too difficult to care for. It is suitable for gardeners who wish to obtain vitamin products with a guaranteed result, especially in Siberian climate conditions. Thanks to its resilience and high-quality berry characteristics, 'Shining' raspberry is an excellent choice for those who value reliability and high-quality harvest.
