bigalmo: If you plant a Concord grape vine every six feet along the fence, you are not going to have any trouble hiding the posts. Within 3-4 years you may not be able to see the fence at all. You sure wouldn't be able to see any poor little berry plants under them. I wouldn't plant any other berries under the Concords, and in fact would keep the other berries separate from one another as well. Blackberries and raspberries are not bushes, but caneberries, which can spread quite a bit on their own, especially raspberries. You don't want them to become mixed together. Blueberries are a special case, with specific low Ph soil requirements, and should be planted in their own specially prepared soil area. In Iowa, if you are in an area of limestone soils, your natural Ph may be close to 7, but blueberries like a Ph of 5 or slightly below. With that many Concord vines, you could eventually have one heck of a Concord crop. Unless you make juice or a whole lot of jelly, you might follow the Fruitnut's suggestion and check out some other varieties to mix in. Jupiter, particularly, seems to be a real favorite of grape growers here. Gooseberries are not my particular favorite, since I could never figure out very good uses for them, especially when compared with other berries I grow, but I would also assign them their own private bed.

Currants have alternate leaves and the flower clusters are not borne at the end of the branch. Here is a link that might be useful: Google Results

Thanks, Carol! I looked up pictures of Coralberry and it does look like the same plant.

Looks evergreen and arborescent in photo, leaves don't really look like they have the same coloring, texture and veining of winterberry either. Surely this is something more on the order of Dahoon holly. This post was edited by bboy on Sun, Dec 15, 13 at 16:55
