Meeker
USA
-
late June and July
Developed in 1967 by Washington State University by crossing Willamette and Katy, the Meeker Raspberry began cultivation in Serbia in 1994 and quickly gained popularity among growers. Although considered less resistant to diseases and environmental factors, this variety produces the sweetest berries with the highest sugar content. It is highly valued and sought after in Europe and beyond. The berries are suitable for fresh consumption, freezing, and juice production. Meeker raspberries are popular as table fruit as well as raw material for various products.
The berries are flavorful, with a high sugar content, a refreshing sweet-tart taste, and a pronounced aromatic profile.
The berries are medium-sized, uniform, firm, compact, bright red, easy to pick, and suitable for machine harvesting and transport. Their resistance to mechanical handling ensures no quality loss.
Self-pollinating.
Meeker is susceptible to certain pollen-transmitted viruses and moderately resistant to rot. Protection against winter frost, drying, breakage, and cracking is necessary.
You can purchase seedlings of Raspberry Meeker at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
