Raspberry 'Unattainable': photo and description of the variety, pruning and care

The "Nedosyaigaemaya" raspberry is a variety of our beloved berry, whose development is thanks to scientist and breeder Viktor Kichin. This discovery occurred in 1988. Thanks to this, avid gardeners and ordinary people alike have the opportunity to enjoy the amazing and unique taste of these juicy, aromatic berries until almost mid-autumn. However, before you can enjoy the treasured fruits of your garden, you'll have to put in a lot of work, as the Nedosyayemaya raspberry requires careful care. Below, we'll discuss the main characteristics of this variety, the nuances of care, and reviews from gardeners who have grown this berry.

Main characteristics of the variety

The raspberry variety "Nedosyayemaya," better known in the scientific community under the nomenclature number P34, was approved for propagation in 1992. The following characteristics are considered the most characteristic properties of the species:

• the height of the bush reaches approximately one and a half meters;
• shoots (on average about 10 pieces) are powerful, elastic, have a brownish tint;
• one seedling acquires a diameter of up to 80 cm per year;
• fruits appear relatively early;
• the variety has good resistance to various pathogenic agents;
• high fertility rate;
• good resistance of the species when exposed to low temperatures.

Main characteristics of berries:

• large, weighing about 8 grams;
• have an elongated and fairly regular shape;
• the fruits have a rich red color with a ruby ​​tint and a shiny coating;
• bright sweet and sour taste, juicy structure;
• pleasant aroma;
• small drupe;
• the berries grow relatively close to each other;
• The fruits are easy to transport.

In addition to its positive qualities, it's also worth noting the variety's negative attributes, which lead some gardeners to completely avoid growing this berry in their gardens. These include:

• The taste of the berries of the Nedosyayamaya variety is greatly influenced by climatic conditions;
• a large number of young shoots;
• high sensitivity of the variety to a decrease in the level of moisture in the soil;
• the need for regular feeding, because without it the crop will develop chlorosis.

Despite the variety's many advantages over other species, the need for constant care and minimal knowledge of planting technology can discourage even experienced gardeners.

Landing

Raspberry "Nedosigaemaya" should be planted in areas with well-fertilized soil. Seedlings of this berry variety typically have a strong root system, so they can be planted using either trench or bush methods.

Planting can be done in the fall and spring. The first two months of autumn are considered the most favorable. Before planting, some preparatory work should be carried out on the site, including tilling and fertilizing the soil. The fertilizer should be a mixture of compost (10 kg), rock phosphate (200 g), and potassium sulfate (200 g). If the soil is highly acidic or peaty, 100 g of lime should be added to the above fertilizer ingredients. The amount of fertilizer required depends on the fertility of the soil.

Planting holes should be approximately 30 cm deep. When planting using the trench method, the holes should be at least 60 cm wide and 40 cm deep. In this case, a mixture containing nutrients beneficial to the crop is used as fertilizer in the following proportions: 120 g of superphosphate, 30 g of potassium salt, and 300 g of wood ash per 1 square meter of soil.

The soil should have a high nutrient density and good drainage. Another important requirement is sufficient humus. Soils with a high sand and clay content are also suitable for this crop. Furthermore, pay special attention to groundwater. When planting this raspberry variety, the groundwater level should not exceed 120 cm.

Successful cultivation of the "Nedosyayamaya" variety depends on the most favorable environmental conditions. Therefore, the berries should be planted in well-lit areas, protected from strong gusts of wind. Experienced gardeners typically select sites near a fence or in the back of a plot for this raspberry variety.

To protect the crop from various diseases, it should be planted at a sufficient distance from blackberries, rose hips, and apple trees. Also, avoid placing the Nedosigaemaya raspberry close to flowers that propagate through bulbs, potatoes, and tomatoes.

When planting this variety of crop, you need to follow some rules:

• distance between seedlings: when planting in a trench – 50 cm, in holes – no more than 100 cm;
• planting of raspberry seedlings should take place at an angle of 45 degrees;
• the root collar is not deepened, but left a few centimeters above the ground;
• the soil that is sprinkled over the roots of the crop must be compacted;
• you need to make a hole at the roots and fill it with 5 liters of water;
• After planting, the Nedosigayamay raspberry seedlings need to be pruned, and the height of the cuttings from the ground should be at least 25 cm.

If this crop variety is planted in an area with an arid climate, it is necessary to regularly ensure that the soil has sufficient moisture.

Caring for the crop

Gardening experts believe that caring for the raspberry bush shouldn't be particularly difficult. However, experienced gardeners disagree, pointing out numerous nuances. It's important to remember that proper agricultural practices determine the variety's yield.

Particular attention should be paid to the timeliness of fertilizing the soil, pruning undergrowth and removing weeds near the hole.

Staking berries is a contentious issue among gardeners. Some insist that staking is essential for this variety, as it significantly facilitates the berry harvesting process and prevents the fruit from coming into contact with dirt, thereby preventing rot. Others argue that staking is more effective at achieving a bountiful harvest.

Experts say the "Nedosigaemaya" raspberry bears fruit twice a year. With proper pruning, careful fertilization, and careful feeding, you can achieve two bountiful harvests.

To harvest berries twice a year, the bushes should be pruned after the fall harvest, leaving the new shoots alone and removing old branches to the ground. After winter, another pruning session is necessary. This time, frostbitten and diseased branches should be pruned.

Remove cut shrub shoots from the area and burn them. This will clear the area and prevent disease from spreading to other crops.

Another important element in caring for raspberries is irrigation. Experts recommend using a drip irrigation system for this plant. If this isn't possible, simply water the raspberries once every 10 days. The plant should also be fed several times throughout the season.

After pruning the branches, in preparation for winter, the raspberry patch needs to be covered. Peat or sawdust is commonly used for this purpose. Avoid using straw or hay, as this can lead to the spontaneous spread of rodents throughout your plot.

Harvesting and storage

Fruit ripening occurs unevenly. The first ripe berries appear around early July. The entire fruiting process continues until October. Experts consider this variety to be highly productive—the average yield per bush is 4 kg, and with intensive care, 5 kg. The berries are hand-picked.

Raspberry Nedosigaemaya is suitable for consumption both raw and processed (in the form of jam, preserves, compotes, etc.).

After harvesting, the berries are placed in plastic or small wooden containers. These containers are suitable for transportation, as they preserve their structural integrity and maintain their attractive presentation.

The fruits are placed in small plastic or wooden containers. These containers allow them to withstand transportation well, maintaining their integrity and attractive appearance.

Store "Nedosyayamaya" raspberries in a sealed container at a temperature of 2-5 degrees Celsius (36-43 degrees Fahrenheit). Store them this way for no more than five days; after this period, the berries lose their appearance and flavor. For longer storage, freeze or process the raspberries.

Reviews

Judging by the vast number of reviews, Russian gardeners have been growing Nedosyagievaya raspberries on their plots for several years. However, the opinions of experienced gardeners visiting amateur forums vary. Some claim to have achieved fantastic results, yielding a bountiful harvest of tasty, large berries. Others lament the failure of their efforts. In any case, both agree that with proper care, positive results are still possible, and that failures are mostly due to mistakes made during the cultivation process.

Many farmers report the occurrence of chlorosis on their "Unattainable" raspberry bushes. There are also complaints that the plant doesn't tolerate excessively high temperatures. Despite these negative reviews, many gardeners eagerly begin cultivating the soil for this crop each year, as the reward for their efforts will be magnificent berries with a truly delightful flavor and intoxicating aroma that you'll want to savor year after year.
