The Raspberry variety "Versailles" presents several appealing characteristics for growers:
Cropping Season: With a mid to early cropping period, approximately 7-10 days after Polka raspberries, Versailles offers a relatively early to mid-season harvest.
Fruit Size and Quality: Producing large, conically shaped fruit weighing 10g-12g each, Versailles boasts visually appealing berries with a balance between sweetness and acidity. The fruit maintains its color well, indicating good shelf life.
Yield Potential: Trials suggest a yield potential similar to or slightly less than Polka. To maximize fruit yield, planting Versailles at higher densities (6-8 plants per square meter) is recommended, with a uniform cropping pattern.
Plant Characteristics: Versailles features spine-free, upright canes that simplify harvesting. The plants exhibit good hardiness and produce fruit on short laterals.
Firmness and Shelf Life: The variety is known for good fruit firmness, coupled with an extended shelf life, making it advantageous for both commercial cultivation and storage.
Breeder and Origin: Bred by Marionnet SAS in France, Versailles has a reputable origin associated with raspberry breeding expertise.
Considering its qualities, Versailles proves to be an excellent choice for growers seeking raspberries with large, visually appealing fruit, good flavor, and a cropping period ranging from early to mid-season. The recommendation of higher plant densities is crucial for optimizing yield in cultivation.
