Cropping Season
TulaMagic® starts cropping 10-15 days earlier than Tulameen. Duration of harvest is about 4 weeks. Under mild climatic conditions and under tunnels, current season’s canes can produce fruit in the autumn.

Fruit Quality
TulaMagic® produces very firm berries which are easily transportable with a good shelf life. Berries have an attractive light red colour, which does not darken after picking and a delicious, intense raspberry aroma with a high sugar content. The berries release easily from the receptacle thus allowing efficient picking.

Fruit Yield
High fruit yields can be achieved due to a high percentage of buds developing into laterals. TulaMagic® can produce an additional crop in the autumn under suitable growing conditions. TulaMagic® is suited to fresh consumption.

Plant Characteristics
TulaMagic® produces vigorous year-old canes with sparse spines reaching a height of 2.0m. With progressing age of plantations there is still sufficient cane formation. Bud break in the spring is regular and complete. Due to its strong root system TulaMagic® requires less fertilizer, especially nitrogen, than other varieties.

Disease Resistance
TulaMagic® has an extensive and dense root system, and evidence suggests a low susceptibility to root rot (Phytophthora fragariae var. rubi). Experience to date shows that canes rarely split and have a low susceptibility to cane diseases.
