Variety description

10 August 2026

The Reuben variety is primocane-fruiting and bears fruit on current-year shoots; berry ripening occurs from late August to October. The bush is upright, reaching a height of 1.5 to 2.5 meters. The variety's sturdy stems do not require the mandatory installation of supports.

The berries are characterized by their large size (10–14.5 g), black color, shiny surface, and sweet taste. The ability to mow the shoots after the end of the fruiting period reduces the likelihood of bushes being affected by diseases and pests.

The name «Рубин» in the Russian-speaking segment most often serves as a synonym for the Reuben variety. Information regarding the «Рубин» variety associated with the name M. D. Melnichuk is not confirmed by available morphological descriptions in state or specialized agronomic registers.
