The raspberry ‘Nova’ (Rubus idaeus) promises a raspberry of excellent productivity, good, large and firm. With its almost insignificant thorns, ‘Nova’ is recommended for self-picking, as well as for organic cultivation, without pesticides, defending itself against diseases, including rust.
Raspberry bushes are practical in hedges, where it is possible to appreciate their expansive suckers, which can be managed with mowers or with various manual tools allowing then to recover the tender shoots that you can consume like asparagus, raw or cooked, or in sweet herbal tea before the invasion.
Choose its final location carefully, because if it is welcome to settle in any type of soil that drains well, comfortable in slightly acidic soil, the raspberry ‘Nova’ quickly becomes persistent and a little colon. Even if the plant does well, the harvest will be juicier if it does not suffer from drought.
Enjoy picking raspberries that are ripe at the right time, from varieties selected for their flavor, sweeter than in stores, and cut the prices, which are increasingly high due to the labor-intensive picking time. Their production can decline due to diseases after 7 or 8 years of good harvests. Self-fertile.
