blackberry or raspberry? and brandywine raspberry
Comments (3)Blackberry plants tend to produce more fruit than raspberry plants. I think brandywine (purple) raspberry tends to be pretty tart, from what I have read. Royalty or Glencoe are less tart (fresh eating) purple raspberries. Most black and red raspberries are sweeter in taste but usually do not produce as many berries as blackberries. You may want to do a little research on your climate to determine which plant variety would grow best there. Wal-mart and other large general retailers often sell plants that are only marginally hardy (adaptable) to your climate....See MoreBerry Identification: Blackberry, Raspberry, Black Raspberry
Comments (17)Native little wild blackberry often has the same 'white dust' on the new growth as the black raspberries. Just because 'all the sites' say a species has a particular characteristic doesn't mean that characteristic is going to definitively separate that species from all others. Species descriptions are maddeningly incomplete. And plants are variable....See MoreWanted grape cuttings, fruit scions Have raspberries, blackberries,etc

Comments (235)SWD hit my garden this year. At first i was very bummed, but using organic sprays with a 1 day PHI worked very well. Also refrigerating the berries removed most worms. I really don't see it as a major problem. I didn't spray my raspberries because of constant flowering but the blackberries take a long time to ripen and were flowerless when ripening. Also the SWD seemed to like them better anyway as my raspberries were left alone for the most part. The spraying controlled them well. Although you do need to spray as much as possible. I would suggest planting Chester blackberries as a trap crop. Even if left they would be effective. You could spray them with anything if you had no plans to harvest. I like them as a trap crop because berries form early (so no flowers at all when ripe) yet take a long time to ripen and ripen over a long period of time. Just about when SWD is the worst here....See MoreThe Logician LLC
