There are many June bearing yellow berries, just none are big commercially today since fall bearing is the big thing now. If you have some red/black crosses it means that your "wild" area must include some previously cultivated plants or seeds brought from them, since the reds are not native to the US. So, your yellow could be a cross of two blacks, two reds, or anything in-between. If the fruit are shaped like a blackcap (small, rounder), its almost certainly a yellow version of a blackcap, and if its shaped more like a red rasp then it probably is at least half red. Yellow blackcaps have been known for many years but somehow none have ever gotten popular. There were a few such varieties sold by nurseries many years ago but not any more. Scott

Hi frmrsdghtr. You need to add your location to your profile. Location often makes a big difference when answering fruit questions. I agree with Ericwi. Many of my beds are starting to look pretty ratty as well: Some of the leaves are blackening. Berries are being eaten by yellow jackets. The berries are smaller, etc. My Heritage bed seems especially prone to the small berries. My Caroline's are still producing ones of decent size. A few of my berries get a bit moldy. I just pick them off to keep it from spreading. -Glenn

O for heavens sake - I have removed loads of this (and Japanese Knotweed, goutweed, trumpet vine and other supposedly immortal plants). Round up definitely does work but I would suggest an awful lot of posters on this thread are not reading the instructions. Multiple sprayings over a few weeks, spraying roots, spraying tiny bits of foliage...and so on. Round up is completely effective when used correctly, at the right time, when foliage cover is at peak growth...which is late spring or autumn. The exceptions usually involve plants with a lot of silicone which will require the cell walls to be ruptured (by crushing) or a direct dosage into the plant capillary system (usually done with knotweed or giant hogweeds). Personally, I find the autumn spray to be more effective as the plant has the maximum amount of foliage and is at the pivot point where top growth/root growth balance is tipping back towards the roots, where we want the glyphosate to do it's nefarious work. It takes up to 6 weeks before the effects of Round Up can even be seen so multiple sprayings is overkill. Using Round Up at incorrect dosages is also a waste - using a stronger mix is no guarantee of eventual success. For a really bad infestation, 2 sprays, one in spring and a later one when there is sufficient regrowth (which is towards the end of summer) will kill 995 of houtynnia. Further vigilance the following season, with careful hand weeding, will finish the problem. Finally, in the annals of pesticides and chemical use, Round Up is comparatively innocuous, compared to the bad old days of sodium chlorate, DDT and so on. Whilst daily use is obviously undesirable, a timed and targeted spray is not tantamount to the ninth circle of hell...whereas untreated infestations of invasives is a whole lot worse.

Can take a cutting of firm new growth NOW! apply 0.1% IBA (Rooting hormone) stick in well drained soil & mist.. takes 25-80 days to root.
