Garden Plannings #15: Wineberry Bramble

I’ll have to do a search on these plants as I have not heard of them … I wish ya luck on keeping them contained if they are that invasive. Are they fruit bearing or flowering? Guess I’ll find that out when I do my search, huh!! :-)

They fruit.. Close relative of the Raspberry. I think I’m going to shy away from doing more though.. At least till I can read into them more.

I just read they grow 8’ tall.They would make a great border plant.I wonder how many years before they take over your yard.Good luck with them.

Are they what we call, ‘blackcaps’, here? Very much like a red raspberry but black….....makes excellent wine. Very picky, not as in hard to grow, but in ‘ouch, ouch, ouch!’ LOL I’m wishing you luck bc they are very tasty, good jam on your toast.

When I was young in Connecticut we had them in the woods behind the house. They were very prolific but they demand shade. The fruits on the ones here in North Carolina are much smaller than the ones I had. Does anyone have any plants they could sell/send me?

On the prior post, they are not black caps black caps are smaller and like the sun.

These are not blackcaps, no.. Just an old var of Raspberry.. The fruit stays encapsulated until it starts to turn and then opens.
