Rubus idaeus ‘Clarita’

An everbearing cultivar with strong, upright canes. Fruits ripen from mid-June on second-year canes and from mid-August on first-year canes. The upper parts of the canes branch heavily, promoting abundant fruiting. The bright red berries weigh 12–13 grams and measure around 3 cm in diameter. They are notable for their excellent shelf life and durability. The fruits detach easily from the receptacle, making them well-suited for mechanical harvesting. With consistent and even ripening, harvesting can be done every other day. 'Clarita' is recommended for both commercial and home cultivation. It is highly resistant to frost, diseases, and pests - including cane blight, root rot, and rust, and shows increased drought tolerance. Hardiness zone: 5b -26/-23 °C
