Sweet!  Cute lil guy or gal there. Looking forward to seeing the progression. I think Cloudberry may have a future as an indoor crop for warmer climates. Although the wiki says that a population grows on Long Island it could very well be a heat tolerant landrace. Wish I knew who posted that info, would be nice to find out and be able to contact him/her to obtain those genetics and spread the love around. |

From the top...  Cloudberry Sprout  Cloudberry Sprouting under Pine Needles  Cloudbetty Cotyledons  Cloudberry First True Leaves  More Cloudberries with Frist True Leaves  Cloudberry Growing On... Unfortunately they died after these pictures were taken. The first pictures were in April, and the last ones were in June in Massachusetts. |

Have been attempting to get these going at our DownEast Maine homestead. This year, I hit the Quoddy Head Reserve (eastern most point in the continental US) at the right time. I have a small amount to work on; I will be Winter Sowing them. At least this time if I am successful, they will have a better chance of growing since I now live in their range.

I am interested in trying to grow cloudberry here in far Northern California. I have been researching planting and propagating techniques for a while. In fact, I was able to obtain about 40 seeds from northern Washington state. The seeds are now about three weeks into a 90 day warm stratification period, after which they will be cold stratified for an equal amount of time. I believe cloudberry could do well here. I say this because our summer growing season climate (May to the end of September) is nearly identical to that of southeastern Alaska, where cloudberry grows wild. Although our summer days are a bit shorter and we get quite a bit less summer rainfall than our friends to the north, our environment does imitate southeastern Alaska rather closely in average temperature (upper-50s to low-60s), humidity, cloud cover, soil PH and flora. Just ten miles north of my garden is a sphagnum bog that is the location of the southern most distribution of many sub-arctic and circumpolar species, such as Labrador tea, sphagnum capillifolium, and a northern bog club moss. I am curious to know if anyone else has had success growing cloudberry here in the Pacific Northwest. I would be interested learning about what kinds of planting protocols have been successful here. |

Tagging on in case of new info re propagating cloudberries. I have had some results with "stratify-obligate" seeds using willow bark tea to hydrate for germination.
Anything on these blogs about Devil's Club?
