The modern market offers a huge number of berry crops that look beautiful and unusual.

Some gardeners plant white strawberries, hybrid berry bushes, and so on.

The products of breeders attract summer residents, but how tasty and healthy are they?

Let's see what berries the scientist-agronomist and expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" Anastasia Kovrizhnykh does not recommend planting.

What "curiosities" are better not to plant on the plot

These are the berries.

  • Jostaberry, or a hybrid of gooseberry and currant. It is inferior to regular currants in terms of ripening speed. The quality of the fruit is noticeably worse, and the taste is quite sour. It attracts pests quite strongly.
  • Strawberries with pineapple flavor. Ripe fruits look beautiful, but the pineapple flavor may leave you indifferent. There is no familiar strawberry smell. Cannot boast of high yield.
  • Black raspberry. The hybrid is quite difficult to care for - there are a lot of root shoots and shoots that can reach a length of several meters.
