Flowers are racemose, small, white. The fruit is a juicy raspberry-coloured drupe, easily separated from the receptacle. Blooms in June-July.

Raspberries have been known since the prehistoric period, as evidenced by archaeological excavations. The ancient Greeks and Romans collected it in the forests and used it not only as food, but also as a remedy. For the first time, raspberries were introduced into culture in the Middle Ages. Then she was transferred from the forests to the monastery gardens. In the wild, raspberries grow on forest edges and clearings. Widely cultivated.

Raspberry culture requires light, air, space, moisture. It is propagated in special nurseries by root and green cuttings. To get seedlings yourself, it is best to use root offspring. One or two high-yielding bushes are chosen, growing offspring 10-15 cm high are dug out with a clod of earth and transplanted to a permanent place.

In mid-latitude conditions, raspberries are planted in late autumn or early spring, until the buds begin to grow. After planting, the seedlings are pruned, leaving shoots 20-30 cm long above the soil surface. Until the end of summer, the soil is periodically loosened. In the absence of rain, the plants are watered. The shrub begins to bear fruit in the second year.

Raspberries are characterized by a two-year cycle of growth and development of basal branches. Every year, immediately after harvest, biennial branches are cut out. In early spring, the branches are cut again, leaving 1-2 shoots per 15 m20. In the summer they are tied to stakes or stretched wire. Some varieties of raspberries bear fruit from July until the onset of cold weather. Harvest fruits ripe, without pedicels. Planting is used for no more than 15 years, after which a new one is laid.

Dried raspberries are used for medicinal purposes. The fruits are pre-cured in the sun, then placed in an oven or oven. Dry at a temperature of 50-60 °C. A sign of well-dried fruits is the loss of the ability to stain the hands. Store them in a dry place.

The fruits contain a lot of sugars (mainly glucose, fructose) and organic acids. Raspberries are rich in pectin and tannins. According to the content of potassium, copper and phosphorus, raspberries are among the top ten fruits; less iron and calcium. The vitamin composition is not very rich, but diverse: carotene, vitamins B1, B2, C, P, PP, E and folic acid. Especially a lot of substances with P-vitamin activity (vasoconstrictor). Raspberry leaves contain tannins, phenolic compounds.

Raspberries have long been known and revered, especially in Rus'. She is mentioned in epics, legends, songs and legends. In the Russian herbalist they wrote: “There is a certain sweetness in raspberry juice and that juice is pleasant, the tremors of the heart will subside and the pain will stop.

Common raspberry, Rubus idaeus. Botanical description of the plant, areas of growth and ecology, economic importance, applications

Raspberry ordinary

Family Rosaceae, masses Dicotyledonous, department Angiosperms.

Raspberries are often found in deciduous forests. Its numerous shoots from 60 to 120 cm high form thickets. Raspberry leaves are pinnate, with 5-7 lobes, the upper ones with three. Raspberries bloom from June to autumn.

Flowers with a white five-petaled corolla, clasped from below with a five-parted calyx; have many stamens and pistils. We call juicy, ripe, tasty raspberries a berry, but this is a collection of small drupes, like small cherries with a stone inside.

Raspberry is a perennial shrub with thorns on the stems. Separate shoots live for two years, but the rhizomes last for a long time, so raspberry thickets stay in the same place for several years.

Shoots growing from an underground rhizome do not produce berries in the first year of life, they have only leaves. In the second year, side branches grow from strong reddish overwintered shoots, on which flowers develop, which then give multi-drupe fruits. After fruiting, the above-ground shoot dries up and dies. In forests, such shoots rot over time, and in gardens they must be specially cut.

From the flowing wind, the green bushes become silver-white. This is due to the fact that the wind turns the raspberry leaves, which have felt pubescence on the underside. It protects the plant from excessive evaporation of moisture, and from its excess.

Raspberries are often overgrown with clearings and places of former conflagrations. In areas with high humidity, it becomes ill and dies.

Raspberry is a very valuable honey and medicinal plant. Her "berries" in the forest feed on hazel grouse and other birds.

Common raspberry, Rubus idaeus. Botanical description of the plant, area, methods of application, cultivation

Raspberry ordinary
Rubus idaeus

The Latin name of the genus Rubus comes from "ruber" (red) and is associated with the color of raspberries.

Common raspberry is a deciduous shrub with a perennial rhizome, from which two-year above-ground stems 1,5-2,5 m high develop.

The rhizome is winding, woody, with multiple adventitious roots forming a powerful branched system. Stems erect. Shoots of the first year are herbaceous, green with a bluish bloom, juicy, covered with thin, usually frequent miniature thorns. In the second year, the shoots become stiff and turn brown, dry up immediately after fruiting, but new stems grow from the same root the next year. The leaves are oval, alternate, petiolate, compound, with 3-7 ovate leaflets, dark green above, whitish below, pubescent with small hairs.

The flowers are white, about 1 cm across, collected in small racemose inflorescences, located on the tops of the stems or in the axils of the leaves. Petals shorter than calyx. Blooms from June to July, sometimes until August.

The fruits are small hairy drupes fused on the receptacle into a complex fruit. The fruits are usually red in color (from pink to deep burgundy), but there are varieties of yellow and even black (blackberry). Fruit usually appears in the second year. In the first year, only two flower buds are laid on the replacement shoots in the axils of the leaves, from which fruit twigs grow in the second year. In the southern regions, fruits also appear on the shoots of the first year in mid-autumn. There are also remontant raspberry varieties that can bear fruit on the shoots of the first year.

Common raspberry is a Euro-Siberian species with a broken range. The main part of the range covers the forest and adjacent zones of the forest-steppe zone of the European part of Russia and Western Siberia. In the eastern part of the range, common raspberry is replaced by a closely related species - Sakhalin raspberry (Rubus sachalinensis Levl.). It grows in most of the territory of the Far East, Eastern and Central Siberia. Her leaves are always trifoliate. In the Far East (in Primorye and the Amur Region), hawthorn-leaved raspberry - Rubus crataegifolius Bunge is common. Its leaves are five-lobed, deep heart-shaped, wide.

Grows in clearings, forests, shrubs, river banks. Widely bred in gardens, has many varieties.

Fruits contain up to 11% sugars (glucose, fructose, pentose), traces of essential oil, pectin and protein substances, mucus; vitamins C, A, B; 1-2% organic acids (malic, citric, tartaric, salicylic, etc.), alcohols (tartaric, isoamyl), ketones (acetoin, diacetyl, b-ionone), anthocyanin cyanine, catechins (d-catechin, l-epigallocatechin); up to 0,3% tannins. Seeds contain up to 22% fatty oil.

Raspberries are consumed both fresh and frozen or used to make jam, jelly, marmalade, juices. Raspberry wines, liqueurs, tinctures, liqueurs have high taste qualities.

Raspberry fruit (Fructus Rubiidaei) is used as a medicinal raw material. The fruits are harvested mature, without pedicels and receptacle. Dry after preliminary drying in dryers at a temperature of 50-60 ° C, spreading the raw material in a thin layer on fabric or paper. In medicine, dried fruits are used as a diaphoretic, syrup - to improve the taste of mixtures.

Raspberries, like the fruits of other berry crops, contain vitamins, carbohydrates and organic acids. Of the organic acids with medicinal properties, the largest share is ascorbic acid (vitamin C), the content of which reaches 45%. The share of citric and malic acids in total is approximately 2,5%. The content of salicylic acid in raspberries is not so high, but to a greater extent it just determines the diaphoretic properties. In addition to vitamin C, raspberries contain a certain amount of carotene and traces of B vitamins.

Although raspberry leaves and flowers are not officially included in the register of medicinal raw materials, when studying their chemical composition, organic substances of various groups with high biological activity, in particular, several flavonoids, were found.

The action of preparations made on the basis of raspberry berries, leaves or roots is almost the same as when using blackberries. And here a reasonable question arises: why, in this case, raspberry leaves are not considered medicinal raw materials in scientific medicine? The answer is quite simple - blackberries for medicinal purposes are harvested in places of natural distribution, and raspberries are harvested from cultivated plants. For this reason, depending on the variety and growing conditions, the content of biologically active substances in raspberry leaves or roots can vary widely, which makes it difficult to standardize medicinal raw materials.

In the pharmacological industry, a syrup is prepared from raspberries, which is used to improve the taste of medicines. Dried raspberries have proven to be an excellent diaphoretic and antipyretic, prescribed in case of colds and other diseases, for the treatment of which an increase in sweating is of no small importance (flu, tonsillitis, etc.).

Preparations from raspberry leaves have astringent properties, which is especially important in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases and internal bleeding. Raspberry leaves, like berries, have a diaphoretic and antipyretic effect. The presence of flavonoids in raspberry leaves causes an anti-sclerotic effect.

Serious contraindications, under which the use of raspberries is strictly prohibited, have not actually been identified. In this case, one should take into account the general physiological state of the body, as well as the presence of a number of diseases for which there are dietary restrictions. So, for example, immoderate eating of raspberries can provoke allergic reactions. Those suffering from diabetes should take into account that raspberries contain a certain amount of sugar-containing substances, therefore, such patients need medical consultation to avoid negative consequences. Raspberries increase blood clotting, and this fact must be taken into account by those who are prescribed anticoagulant drugs.

Nutritionists recommend consuming 50-100 g of raspberries daily, although some can eat up to 1 kg of berries or more at a time, without any negative consequences, however, without much benefit from such an excess.

Raspberries are of the greatest importance as a food plant. In addition, she is a good honey plant. Due to the fact that the raspberry flower is tilted down, the bee extracting nectar is, as it were, under a natural canopy and can work even during a light warm rain. From nectar collected from 1 ha of flowering forest raspberries, bees receive 70 kg of honey, and from 1 ha of garden raspberries - 50 kg. Raspberry honey contains 41,34% levulose and 33,57% glucose, has a pleasant smell and taste. Bees, collecting nectar, increase the yield of raspberries by 60-100%.

The leaves can serve as a tea substitute. They are crushed by hand, the leaves secrete juice and turn black, and then they are dried in the oven.

In folk medicine, fruits and leaves are used for colds, flu, as an antipyretic. For the treatment of certain diseases in folk medicine, the use of preparations prepared using raspberry stems or roots is also practiced. There is no exact information on the content of certain substances in these parts of the plant; only the presence of tannins is known for certain.

Raspberries. Useful information

Raspberry ordinary

Raspberry is a forest plant. Raspberry flowers are inconspicuous, and people do not pay attention to them.

But the bees are hovering around. They work from morning to evening. Even after sunset, when other plants no longer attract them. Raspberry honey is one of the best. And most importantly: raspberries provide bees with nectar every year. They can get it in the cold and even in the rain! Beekeepers appreciate it.

Raspberries are very helpful. Dried raspberry tea is used to treat those who catch a cold.

Raspberry thickets occupy large spaces in the forest. Along rivers and roads, raspberries can stretch for many kilometers. In the neighborhood with raspberries - blackberry bushes grow. This is the same raspberry, only its berries are not red, but black-gray. Juicy, tasty.

In the garden, raspberries are not held back by any fences.

She penetrates the fence into the street, and every passer-by can enjoy juicy fruits. They love raspberries and birds.

Raspberries are the only berry crop that can grow in difficult conditions, such as on rocks. Climbers climb to the top of the rocks and, to their joy, find sweet berries there. True, the bushes are low, the berries are small.

But after all, there is almost no soil on the rocks, only stones.

The most powerful of the raspberries, the southern raspberry, lives in New Zealand. She is a liana. Its trunks, thick as logs, wind through other trees, and you can’t even reach the berries.

And the shortest - arctic raspberry, lives in the tundra. This is the princess. She is slightly taller than a cranberry. The flower is pink, like that of an ordinary wild rose, only four times smaller. The leaves are similar to strawberry leaves, and the berries are like ordinary raspberries, only half the size. They are also red and with a very strong aroma, much more fragrant than our garden raspberries.

Raspberries. Features of planting and growing

Raspberry ordinary

Raspberries contain: water (about 90%); up to 11% sugars (glucose, sucrose, fructose); purines essential, pectin, protein substances, nitrogenous substances; 1-2% organic acids (citric, salicylic, caproic, folic, malic - 5,1 µg per 100 g of product); carotene (provitamin A) - 0,07 mg; manganese (210 mg) and copper (170 mg) iron (1200 mg), zinc (200 mg), potassium salts, manganese, iodine; vitamins B9, B12, B1 (thiamine) - 0,06 mg / 100 g, B2 (riboflavin) - 0 mg, vitamin C (ascorbic acid) - 002-25 mg, vitamin E (tocopherol) - 50 mg, vitamin PP (nicotinic acid) - 1 mg / 0 g of berries, vitamin P (bioflavonoids ); catechins (up to 0 mg), anthocyanins (5-100 mg), alcohols (tartaric, isoamyl, phenylethyl); dyes, up to 80% tannins.

More than 120 species of wild-growing raspberries are known, only a few are cultivated - about ten, the most common is common raspberry.

The fruits of forest raspberries are considered healthier than garden ones; its fruits are smaller, but less watery, more fragrant and sour in taste compared to the garden.

Common raspberries belong to the genus Rubus, which is part of the Rosaceae family. It is a semi-shrub or shrub grass. The plant has a woody tortuous rhizome that forms many adventitious roots. Due to them, the root system becomes branched and powerful. Thanks to her shoots can grow to a height of 1,5-2 meters.

In the first year, raspberry branches are grassy, ​​gray-green and juicy. They are covered with thin and frequent small spines. The next year they become woody and turn brown. After the completion of the fruiting period, the stiff shoots die off. Instead, the following year, green stems are formed again.

During the flowering period, small and racemose inflorescences are formed on the stems, consisting of white flowers. In diameter, they have no more than one centimeter. Flowers are located at the tops of the stems or in the axils of the leaves.

Fruiting begins only in the second year after planting. In the first year, flower buds are laid on the shoots. Of these, fruit twigs begin to develop next year in the spring.

The raspberry has many small, hairy drupes that have fused into a complex fruit. Depending on the variety, the color of the fruit can be different: yellow, red, dark red and even black. Most often, raspberries are grown in red shades.

Raspberries will be really useful if you grow them in your own backyard. This plant is quite unpretentious, it is not afraid of light spring frosts, and the flowering period is quite long and ranges from two to three weeks. Fruit ripening will depend on the weather conditions of the region in which the crop grows and on the place chosen for the raspberry. You can often notice that ripe berries, their ovaries, and flowers are on the bush at the same time. But the mass harvest usually falls in August.

Raspberries can have a different shape, color and size. These characteristics always depend on the plant variety.

The calorie content of raspberries is negligible and is about 40 kcal per 100 g.

An important part of caring for raspberries is prevention from diseases and pests. In each case, prevention will have its own form.

bushes in spring

  • on a raspberry bush, frostbitten tops of the stems should be cut off;
  • remove damaged shoots, as well as those that grow inside the bush;
  • then rake all last year's foliage along with branches and burn it;
  • after that, top dressing in the form of nitrogen fertilizers should be applied to the soil;
  • then tie the shoots to the trellis.

Spring processing. From diseases. In the spring, as a preventive measure against various diseases, you can spray raspberry bushes with Bordeaux liquid and nitrafen. Moreover, it is necessary to process both plants and the soil near them. Also, such processing should be carried out in the fall, after harvesting.

From pests. Raspberries can suffer from a fairly large number of diseases and insect pests. To avoid negative phenomena, you need to properly care for the plants as well. This procedure is carried out in the spring after the buds have blossomed. To do this, use Actellik or Karbofos. Also, such processing is carried out in the fall after harvest. In this case, the bushes need to be cut and prepared for wintering.

Bushes in autumn:

  • cut off all diseased, broken and damaged branches;
  • all leaves must be removed from the stems. To do this, put on a hand mitten. We clamp the stem with it and draw it from the bottom up. This must be done carefully so as not to damage the kidneys;
  • after that, all cut or removed material (leaves, branches) must be burned in order to destroy possible parasites and pathogenic microorganisms that can winter in them.

Raspberry ordinary

blank. For medicinal purposes, fruits, flowers, roots, wood and raspberry leaves are harvested.

The fruits must be harvested in dry weather, after the dew has dried. The collected fruits are cleaned from the receptacle, leaves, separating spoiled and overripe. Dried in the sun, spread out in a thin layer on paper. Further dried in dryers or ovens at a temperature not exceeding 50 ° C. If, when kneaded in the hand, the fruits do not stain the skin, such fruits are considered to be sufficiently dried. Shelf life - 2 years.

Leaves and flowers are harvested in June, dried outdoors in the shade or in a well-ventilated area. Their shelf life is 1 year.

The roots are dug up in autumn. They need to be shaken off the ground, spread out and dried in a ventilated area. Then cut into small pieces and put in paper bags. Keep 2 years.

Raspberry wood is the shoots of the current year. They need to be cut at the end of summer, divided into pieces of 5-7 cm and dried well, then folded into a paper bag. You can store up to 5 years.

Raspberry Rosalyn. Sometimes you can find an unfamiliar variety of raspberries. It has many interesting names: rosaline or rose leaf; earth-raspberry; Tibetan; strawberry; seductive; blackberry; raspberries.

Rosalyn is a subshrub native to East Asia. In nature, it is found in mixed forests and on mountain slopes. Under natural conditions, its height reaches 3 m. However, the raspberries that grow in gardens are somewhat more modest in size - no more than 1 m in height. The plant is unusually ornamental, so it is often used more to decorate household plots than as a fruit crop. Tibetan raspberries are also good for hedges, not only pleasing the eyes of happy owners, but also protecting the territory from uninvited guests with fluffy prickly branches.

The leaves outwardly have some resemblance to the leaves of a rose, hence the botanical name of the shrub - rose-leaved raspberry. They are bright green with yellowish veins, as if corrugated and collected 5-7 on petioles. In addition, small teeth along the edges give the leaves a special tenderness, charm and beauty.

Flowers large enough up to 5 cm in diameter, solitary, white, consist of five petals. The flowering of the shrub begins in July and continues until autumn, and the flowers constantly open next to the ripening berries.

Rosalina berries are bright red, sometimes the size of a walnut. Grow upwards. In shape, they resemble strawberries and, since they do not hide in foliage, they are very noticeable from afar.

Unusual raspberries also have a resemblance to rose bushes, however, not the most pleasant - these are large sharp thorns. The plant is very prickly, so the work on its planting and processing should be carried out exclusively in tight gloves. Moreover, even dry branches can scratch, which is why it is better to burn them at the stake as soon as possible.

Landing. Seductive raspberries are planted on the south side of the garden in the sunniest areas. In areas with hot, dry summers, it tolerates partial shade quite well. It can be placed in separate bushes or rows, placing it in holes or small trenches, respectively, when planting. At the same time, it is necessary to observe a distance of 0-7 m between the bushes, and at least 0 m between rows. Strawberry raspberries can grow on almost any soil, but prefers fertile and fairly loose. Therefore, it is recommended to add 9 bucket of peat and 1 buckets of manure humus to each planting pit. It is also important after planting abundant watering.

Reproduction. Rosalin is propagated by root offspring, of which many grow during the season. The presence of abundant root shoots makes it necessary to choose a place for the shrub where raspberries will not interfere with other plants, or limit the growth space in available ways (for example, a dug-in slate fence). To plant in a new place, the basal process only needs to be carefully dug out with a sharp bayonet shovel along with a large clod of earth.

Care. Rose-leaved raspberry is unpretentious, however, it needs elementary care. In summer, in dry weather, the shrub should be watered regularly, and in the heat it should be done daily, and preferably at night. In addition, it is recommended to mulch the soil to prevent drying out, especially with single plantings of raspberries. As a mulch, it is better to choose peat chips, compost or humus.

Despite the fact that the Tibetan raspberry is moisture-loving, it does not tolerate strong waterlogging and prolonged stagnation of water. It should not be planted in the lowlands, where spring meltwater collects or puddles form for a long time after rain. The root system of strawberry raspberries is located close to the soil surface, so loosening should be done with extreme caution. The same goes for weed removal. It is better to tear them out with your hands, so as not to damage the roots of rosalin, and thereby destroy the plant.

Fertilizer. Shrub dressing is usually carried out in the spring, scattering 4-5 tablespoons of universal mineral fertilizer without chlorine under each individual of the "raspberry and strawberry hybrid". Recommendation. Opponents of mineral fertilizers at the beginning of summer need to feed the plant 2-3 times with slurry, for the preparation of which 1 part of manure and 20 parts of rainwater are taken.

The harvest is collected as the berries ripen. They are very juicy, have a unique sweet and sour taste, smell of strawberries. They are used fresh, and are also well suited for jams, jams, jelly and compotes. They rarely cause allergies.

By winter, the shoots of Tibetan raspberries die off completely. Therefore, after the end of fruiting, the entire aerial part of the shrub is cut off flush with the ground, and the roots are sprinkled. Raspberries need shelter only in especially severe and little snowy winters. But it tolerates moderate frosts well.

Black raspberry. Black raspberry, also called blackberry, is a perennial shrub. It belongs to the Rosaceae family. The plant is native to North America. The length of the stems reaches 2-3 m; they are arched and covered with sharp spines.

Features of chokeberry raspberries and its differences from red:

  • its fruits, ripening, do not crumble;
  • only some varieties of this raspberry tolerate frost well;
  • less than red raspberries suffer from pests, and are almost not susceptible to disease;
  • It does not require special care;
  • begins to bear fruit earlier than red;
  • the bush has a powerful root system.

Gardeners prefer to grow black raspberries on their plots because of their excellent taste. Black raspberries are much sweeter than regular red raspberries. And some varieties have a honey taste, without sourness.

The fact that black raspberries give excellent yields attracts many summer residents. Fragrant berries from a bush can be collected from 2 to 4 or more kilograms, depending on the variety and care of the plant.

Elastic berries are not deformed during transportation. In addition, raspberries are not only suitable for fresh consumption, but also easily amenable to any processing: freezing, canning, making jam.

The benefits of black raspberries are still being studied, but it is already known that they contain ellagic acid, which not only has the strongest antioxidant activity, but is also an effective means of preventing and combating cancer. Given this, many summer residents do not hesitate to breed black raspberries.

What you need to consider before planting black raspberries.

Place. A well-lit area is perfect for growing raspberries. It is also important that there are no drafts: the plant does not tolerate cold winds.

neighbors and predecessors. The best neighbor of this plant is red raspberry. But with its other "relative", blackberries, black raspberries cannot coexist. Bad predecessors are nightshade: tomato, eggplant, potatoes.

It is advisable not to plant raspberries in the same area where these and other crops grew, which suffer from such a fungal disease as verticillium wilt.

Distance between bushes and rows. It is important not to plant black raspberry bushes at a close distance from each other, even though they do not give root shoots. Then there will be no thickening of plants, each of them will be evenly blown by the wind and warmed up by the sun. The optimal distance between the bushes is 80 cm; between rows - about 2 m. In this case, the plants are easy to care for, and make sure that its branches do not touch the ground.

Soil quality. This is one of the most important factors affecting the yield of raspberries. Fertile loamy soil is "light" and contains sufficient minerals and nutrients.

Landing. The depth of the landing pit must be at least half a meter; width - 40-50 cm. Mix wood ash with humus 1: 1 and fill the hole with this composition by 20-25 centimeters. After that, fill the hole with water. And there, carefully, straightening the roots, place a raspberry seedling. Wait until the water is absorbed, and start filling the hole with earth mixed with sand and complex fertilizer. Then water again.

Care. Mulch the soil; water on time; tie raspberry branches; learn how to properly prune the bush (summer pruning is carried out to increase productivity. If you shorten the shoot at the point of growth, then young branches, a kind of fan, will grow from this place next year. It is on these branches that young shoots will present a generous harvest.

Autumn pruning is sanitary pruning, the bush is preparing for winter, dry and old branches are cut out, long shoots are shortened. ); know about plant diseases and pests, and be able to protect it; carry out feeding; prepare raspberries for winter.

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>
