RIDLEY WILLIAM BELL
10 August 2026
The bush is medium or tall, erect, reaching a height of 1.2 to 2.0 meters. Shoot-forming ability is moderate; the variety does not require frequent pruning. The shoots are strong, hold the crop well, and are characterized by disease resistance.
The variety belongs to the very early maturity group; the harvest ripens in June or July. The frost resistance of the variety reaches -37°C.
The berries are medium to large in size, the diameter is 1.3–2.2 cm, and fruit weight is about 1.6–2.2 g. The taste is sweet with a slight acidity. Transportability and keeping quality of the fruits are low; the berries are not prone to shattering upon ripening.
The variety is self-fertile; however, cross-pollination with other varieties is recommended to increase yield. The purpose is universal; it is often used in private gardening.
