I do not have anything but the big, thorny, wild blackberries, wild raspberries, and a purple flowering raspberry that refuses to fruit. I think flowering raspberries are often self-incompatible. You might have better luck buying another from a different source and seeing if they'll pollinate each other. I'm trying to encourage some wild Wineberry bushes ( Rubus phoenicolasius) to spread, and I'm going to be collecting and stratifying seeds this winter. They're reputed to be invasive, but they've already spread all around me - and sometimes 'invasive' is just another word for 'successful'. They're fairly resistant to the girdling that plagues berries and young trees in my area, too - their very dense stickers seem to keep critters off them. |

I am very interested in cuttings of Salmonberry, Tayberry, Boysenberries, and others. On a bit of a berry adventure right now. Oh and HoneyBerry. I guess they are blueberry-like in the honey suckle family. If anyone has any available let me know. I'm willing to pay

In some places (like here) it is ILLEGAL to propagate wineberries (since they are an invasive.) |
