Description of the variety
Raspberry Brusvyana was bred by domestic breeders. Raspberry of this species is a rather tall tree-like bush. In height, Brusvyana can grow up to two meters (in rare cases, it can grow by 2.5 m).
The formation of a large number of shoots is characteristic. Moreover, it branches very strongly. A small number of thorns are formed on the plant itself. The shoots are very thick, so they are relatively level, so they do not need to be tied up. This arrangement of fruitful shoots is very convenient when harvesting from them. Fruits on the shoots are placed tightly and completely cover them.
Brusvyana variety begins to bear fruit in June. This is the first harvest. The second harvest or main fruiting begins somewhere in mid-August (10-15 days). Fruiting is long-term, it lasts about 80-100 days until the first autumn frosts. In one year, two or three crops can be harvested from one bush. Shoots of the second year begin to bear fruit. The first harvest is formed on them. The second crop is formed on young shoots that have grown during the year.
The fruits are very large. Raspberry Brusvyana yields one of the largest berries of all remontant varieties. The mass of one berry varies within about 15 g.
Subject to all the rules for care, pruning, groundbait and watering, up to 8 kg of berries can be harvested from one bush.
The appearance of the fruit is very beautiful. They are characterized by a deep and deep crimson hue. The taste of the berries is sweet and sour and rich and the reviews about them are extremely positive. They can be consumed both fresh and made from them jams, compotes and jams.
In addition to their excellent taste, berries have a lot of useful properties and are used in folk medicine. The beneficial properties of fruits are due to the accumulation of the following substances in them: glucose, sucrose, fructose, vitamins of group A, B2, C, iron and potassium salts, pectin, fiber, as well as salicylic and organic acids.
Due to the content of these substances, the fruits of Brusvyan's raspberry are used to treat colds, since they help to reduce fever and have an anti-inflammatory effect. In addition, the berries have analgesic, antiemetic and diuretic effects. Raspberry fruits are prescribed for poor appetite.
It is also worth knowing that not only the berries of this plant are used for treatment. Raspberry leaves also have medicinal properties. Useful infusions and teas are made from them.
In cosmetology, the leaves are used to make creams for acne, skin allergies and various types of rashes. Sometimes just applying them to the rash is enough.
