Does anyone know what these berries are and where they come from? I'm in Jax Fl surrounded by pine trees and every morning I find them smashed on my deck. They have a brown seed inside and it seems to be in a mucous like sac I guess you would call it. Any help appreciated...
Hi, all. This is my first year with berries and just bought this Sweetheart blueberry bush from Fast Growing Trees website. I assume this is bad architecture? How much should I prune down to if at all? Just makes me sad/nervous to prune down so much growth. Is there an ideal time to prune (zone 7b)? Seems healthy otherwise with dormant buds and pliable branches.
Thank you for your time and help.
Hello, we bought 3 strawberry plants last May and they produced a few fruit (were assuming they're "junebearing"?). We live in central Florida. We've kind of let them do their thing since then and now there's a few dozen small plants (none bigger than the original 3). The dead leaves we think are from the cold snap the last couple weeks. Any suggestions for making them successful? Do I need to remove some? Favorite fertilizer? Any help is appreciated, we're certainly not big gardeners but having some fresh strawberries every summer sounded fun!
Hello all, I’m doing a small research for my voting methods math class, where I have to have 40 people vote on something and I chose berries and so I would like if yall could check it out and rank berries for me :)
Wanting to plant several berries this year. Blackberry, raspberry, blueberries and strawberry’s. Zone 7a. Was wondering what are some of your favorites as far as taste and productivity.
Triple Crown, 3rd year. Zone 7b. I’m new to growing berries and learning. Today I trimmed the old canes and thinned out floricanes. I forgot to trim them during spring and summer while they were growing out, so now the laterals are all the way up at the top, approximately 6ft high. What should I do now?
So I bought some glass mason jars since I just bought 2 huge costco containers or the biggest, fresh looking strawberries I’ve ever seen. I want them to last! And heard about the berry trick, the glass jars will arrive from amazon today. After doing some research on other reddit forums some ppl say to ALWAYS put them in the jar unwashed and others say you MUST wash them with vinegar water, dry VERY well then store them. I’ve seen dozens of ppl say to do one or the other, which works best? I’m not sure which method is best! I’ve also seen some say doing this trick made them mold or ferment quicker & I would HATE for me to do this and those delicious strawberries mold or go bad quicker than had I just kept them in the container they come in. Some say their jars will have gas build up & the lid will burst off, how do I prevent that? Thanks in advance my fellow berry lovers.
I bought these and I want to use the seeds to grow my own.
I am at my co workers house helping him remove 3 mature grape vines (30 years old)
He has no desire to keep them in this spot (or at all) and has offered to let me take them, does anyone have any tips or advice to maximize my chances of these vines surviving transplant?
Im in Hawaii and have never stumbled across this beautiful berry. The inside was sort of a kiwi green. Anyone have a clue? Don’t worry I didn’t eat it😃
Just learning about bare root planting and how they are different than planting soil bound transplants.
So I bought some bare root raspberries based on reading that it is fine to plant them Nov-April (zone 7). Planted them a few days before this big snowstorm that has taken over the south eastern U.S. temps will be in the teens over the next few weeks.
Did I just seal their death? I planted as instructed and added some mulch on top. They are well watered as well. Should I pull them out and try to start them inside in a pot?
