The Institute of Horticulture of Poland has developed a dessert raspberry variety Skierka

The Institute of Horticulture of Poland has developed a dessert raspberry variety Skierka, which bears fruit on one-year and two-year-old shoots. The new variety is distinguished by good taste of berries and high yield. Breeders recommend growing it both on commercial plantations and in household plots. On annual shoots, the first berries begin to ripen around mid-August, and the last - until the autumn frosts. On biennial shoots, raspberry picking begins in the second half of June and lasts about a month. The Skierka bush is tall, produces an average number of annual shoots up to 2.5 m high and an average number of root offspring. Young shoots without anthocyanin color in the apical part; older shoots are brownish-purple, of medium thickness, rather flexible, arcuately curved at the top. Bushes are medium compact. The variety is frost resistant. ...
