Neighbors tree grows over our fence and these berries been falling from it. I will gladly collect if edible lol so thank y’all in advance

3rd year plants are really taking off!

Hi- we planted a blueberry bush that had berries on it when we bought it 2 years ago. Since then it grows leaves every spring but never flowers. We’re in an 8b zone and blueberries do great here (in other people’s yards). We checked our soil pH and it was 4.5. Any help?

For the longest my dad wanted to dig out this tree when I moved in because he said it was just a waste of space and blooms nothing. They have a blackberry tree bush in their yard and the leaves look different. What kind of berries are these/tree bush is this?

Hello,

I live in northern Wisconsin and near the lake we have a some what wooded low area(ground is largely vegetation) and there are already a small number of wild blueberries that are super low to the ground. I would like to plant some more in that area. Any help on what variety would work in the environment would be awesome.

This was found in my backyard, southeastern VA. Just curious what it is. My kids found them and thought they were strawberries, and I told them not to eat things they find. Luckily they didn’t, but just trying to get an ID on it.

Any idea what could be the issue?

Okay, this is the first time I've come across black raspberry cuttings just out in the wild (only other time was at an orchard), and might have made a silly decision, in the name of experimenting.

I've read that people can take raspberry cuttings in spring, however, these black raspberries had the tiniest of leaves, so no more buds. Will it be impossible for the raspberries to root if there were little leaves just sprouting? Or is there still a chance? I wanna try at least once, I'll try a cutting in pure perlite, one in soil, and one in just water just to see, but I'm just wondering if it's possible they can still root when the buds have produced their leaves.

Bought organic at Whole Foods and I can’t get myself to eat these

My berry bushes are not doing too well. The fruit popped up but is now dying off. Can anyone point me in the direction to maybe mend them.

​

Aphids can reproduce so quickly because female aphids give birth to live young that are already pregnant. In just a couple of weeks, the young reach maturity and give birth to other pregnant nymphs.

​

A short cycle of reproduction results in exponential population growth and there are many overlapping generations per year.

I was gifted a few raspberry plants today from a friend whose raspberry plants were expanding uncontrollably. I have a small garden allotment and don’t want them to take over. Does anyone have ideas for keeping them contained? I was thinking of digging a hole and putting a grow bag in it with a plant so the roots couldn’t escape (at least at first). Any other ideas?

Does anyone know why this blueberry looks like this? I bought blueberries and over half of them looked like this. One was so protruded that I thought there were two, but when I cut it open, it was clear that it was only one.

I tried to grow some raspberries from seed a few months ago, but due to some personal problems, I ended up neglecting them, and the seedlings dried out and died. It’s been a bit since then, and while cleaning out the fridge, I saw some old ziplocks in the crisper with yellow and red raspberry seeds. I thought they’d be molded or ungerminated, and wanted to throw the bags away, but decided to check for fun. Turns out, a few yellow raspberry seeds sprouted, and a ton of red raspberry seeds did, as well! I’d gotten so lucky having seeds germinate during the warm stratification period, I completely forgot cold stratification can take months.

So, I’ve got a container of seeds in some seed-starting mix, and now it’s just a matter of waiting and babying the hell out of these things. Later on, I’ll try scarifying and stratifying some blackberry seeds

I have 30 feet of Heritage berries that are 4 years old. Very beautiful plants in the summer, However, they produce very few berries. Right in the same row are 30 feet of Caroline raspberries and they make lots and lots of berries. I cut all the plants to ground level in winter. The plants get lots of sun, good water.

Any advice on how to get the Heritage berries to produce? Thanks!

A mix of musk, a few alpine varieties, Virginia, Pennsylvania and something supposing to be a UK variety. Ignore the dead leaves and ivy, it’s just starting to get nice enough to do much outside in my area.

Any PH soil testers that actually work?

Now if only it could stop dropping into the 40’s & 30’s (America units) midday and start acting like it’s spring so I can start easing them outside…

Four months old yesterday!

I live in the Appalachian area of Virginia and would like to plant some huckleberry in my backyard. Can anyone offer some insight to the the differences between these two huckleberry species? Is one tastier than the other? Self pollinating? Sun requirements? Height?

I don't have any gardeners in my life to learn from, so I hope it's ok that I ask my questions here. I want to build raised beds with a variety of berries. I used VegPlotter to plan it out, but I have a few questions.

1. Is this like *way* too many strawberries? My son would eat a pint of strawberries a day if we could afford it, but is 26 plants too many if I don't plan on canning or freezing? I have family that I can share *some* overflow with. Alternatively I considered eliminating the strawberries in the middle bed, putting 2 raspberries there, and doing more blueberries on the right where raspberries currently are.
2. The beds are 3' on the short side, will the strawberries spread nicely if placed in one central row (I can fit 24 this way) or should I do 2 rows per bed (and only plant 18)? Does the number of initial plants even matter in the long run if they have the same area to spread out?
3. This is a full sun area. Will the blackberries/raspberries possibly shade out the strawberries/blueberries? Is there a way to minimize this?
4. Is there anything in this plan you might change?
