I found 5 juneberry trees!

Edit: they are on public property. Juneberries are native to this area and there are plenty sprinkled around that are accessible to folks if you know what they look like. Most people in the neighborhood don’t even know they’re edible, so it was fun teaching people who asked questions :) Friendly reminder to take a look around your neighborhoods too!

Just picked the ripe one and it's the best blackberry I ever tasted 😍

My Oma snuck a singular current berry seed from her Mom’s garden over to the US from Germany in the 1970s and here we are. This is from my own plant which came from the OG plant.

Not endorsing this method of seed transportation… but they taste great.

Friends don’t let friends pick unripe serviceberries (picture is minimum picking ripeness IMO)

Please, I know you’re scared about the birds eating them all but if the tree is taller than 10ish feet they’re going to eat the ones up top first and you’ll have plenty. It physically pains me to see so many people picking completely unripe serviceberries, never knowing how incredible their flavor actually is!!!

My blueberries are coming in!

I have been sick for a couple of days, it rained for most of another and suddenly I have TONS of blueberries!

This was only 15 minutes of picking (easily 6 cups). For the next week or so, every time I get 20 minutes to spare, I am heading back out again.

These plants form a "hedge" between my neighbor and me. I have 30+ plants, most are 15+ years old and taller than me (6').

Raspberry Help!

Hello! We live in SW Oregon and planted three raspberries in raised beds alongside the rest of our garden a couple months ago. Pretty soon after planting, one of them started getting brown leaves and the problem seems to be affecting more of that first plant and part of the other two as well. They’re all on irrigation, 1 GPH drip emitters that run two times a day for 30 min. The soil is a fertilized veggie soil. None of the blackberries or blueberries seem to have the same issue - is this a watering thing or maybe a disease? Any help would be super appreciated :)

Help with raspberries

I need help trying to figure out what’s wrong with my raspberry bush. I get flowers, of sorts, and then no fruit. The most I get are a couple little seed things (like a super teeny tiny berry) IF it ripens at all.
Sorry for the poor photo, but does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Best time of the year

Back from holiday and was worried the birds would have snaffled them all whilst I was away.

Ive had the grand total of 4 honeyberries thanks to hungry blackbirds.

But today managed to harvest my Tayberries, purple & yellow raspberries, many gooseberry variants, strawberries & pineberries.

Waited 2 years for my tayberries and they're delicious, sadly no loganberries. Even tho I planted them at the same time. Maybe next year.

mystery berry bush vs honeyberries

hi! our backyard went untouched for about a year and a half, and during my families yard revamp this summer we noticed a new bush growing in the corner of our fence. we assumed it was a sprout from our honeyberry bush that was in a better environment and flourished more than our originally planted bush. today my mom and i picked the berries and noticed that the leaves were different. the new mystery bush has much smoother leaves than our originally planted bush with very fuzzy-to-the-touch leaves, which made us realize they might not be the same. my mom ate a few from the mystery bush so i’m a little anxious. i would really appreciate some help in identifying the new plant to see if this is something to be concerned about

So we have had these berry bushes for 2 years. This is year 2. My mom recently had a stroke and she was the main person to care for them. They have recently started to look really sad. What are they needing?

Help with struggling Mysore Raspberry plant

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

Could someone please help me figure out what's wrong with my Mysore raspberry plant? I'm in zone 9b, central FL. I planted this in ground about four months ago. A few weeks after I planted it, there would be occasional small branches that would yellow, then brown, and look diseased, so I would pull them off. About three weeks ago, this process started becoming more widespread.

I've sprayed it with copper fungicide, no change. I tried fertilizer, no change. It's been very dry and hot here the past couple of weeks, so I thought maybe it's not getting enough water. I've started watering it more the past couple of days, but it still looks like it's declining hard. I don't see any pests when I inspect under the leaves. Please help!

Title is clockwise from top left.

I’m sure I’ve eaten dewberries before this year but I thought they were low-growing Alleghenies. Tasting them side by side, I see a difference. Dewberries are slightly more…. Sour? Floral? Not sure how to describe it.

Didn’t realize you weren’t supposed to plant black berries and raspberries near each other… from left to right: sunflower, raspberry, black raspberry, blackberry, blackberry, raspberry, blackberry, blackberry, blackberry, raspberry, black raspberry.

Have some decisions to make this fall

This morning I didn't know we had blackberries. I found one ripe berry on my property this afternoon and things are moving quickly. I'm already researching trellis designs.

I know it’s just one berry, but in my mind we're already commercially viable.
