Many amateur gardeners complain that they have to spend too much time and effort on their vegetable plots. And if you don't constantly loosen the soil, water, or fight weeds, your dacha or garden plot turns into an overgrown, weed-infested wasteland. But you don't have to grow picky and demanding plants. You can switch to fruit and berry crops.

Where to order saplings?

It's better to buy saplings not at the market, but from a nursery or online store. The reason is that sellers (individuals) often deceive. In late autumn and early spring, they sell ordinary trees and shrubs and pass them off as elite varieties. To avoid buying a small, inferior variety instead of 'Ananas' apricot, it's better to order saplings from a specialized online store. For example, there is a store called "Bekker". It is located at https://bekker.kz/ru/catalog/sajency-plodovo-yagodnye-set. Here you can buy any fruit and berry crops from a nursery with a guarantee of sapling and packaging quality.

New varieties you should know about

You can grow not only ordinary blackcurrants, apple trees, and pears on your plot. Nowadays, there are many selective varieties of various plants that will turn your garden into an exotic oasis. Pay attention to the following varieties:

  • Apricot 'Black' – a high-yielding and fairly low-maintenance hybrid of apricot and almond. The fruits are large, sweet, and juicy. The trees are low-growing and branched. They tolerate winter frosts down to -25 °C.
  • Goji 'Sugar Giant' – beneficial berries containing a unique set of vitamins and microelements. They are recommended for weight correction and for cold-related illnesses. The shrub bears abundant fruit and withstands frost down to -30 °C.
  • Berries 'Boysenberry' – a hybrid, one bush yields up to 5 kg of berries per season. Resistant to diseases, requires no constant care or spraying. No thorns.
  • Yoshita – a hybrid of selected blackcurrant and hardy gooseberry. A high-yielding crop with excellent flavor. Suitable for making jams, compotes, pastilles, freezing, and fresh consumption.
  • Actinidia – an exotic analog of kiwi for us. Strong, resilient, fast-growing vine. Does not require pollinators and fruits abundantly.

There are many new varieties that can be grown on a dacha. Breeders have adapted unique fruit and berry crops to our conditions so that even an inexperienced gardener can obtain a bountiful harvest with minimal effort.
