Variety description

10 August 2026

Watson, known under the trade name Ruby, is an everbearing form of raspberry. The plant forms numerous long, slightly drooping annual shoots, densely covered with brown-green prickles of medium and large size. The leaves are light green in color with slight rugosity.

The variety is distinguished by a late flowering period and large fruits, the taste of which is rated as moderate. In agricultural terms, the variety is considered quite reliable, however, studies note a significant dependence of yield on the climatic conditions of a particular season.
