I have a 2 year old rubus idaeus. It has produced very large fruits most of which are delicious. However about one in 10 has a very unpleasant taste. They are often on the same branch as a tasty one, neither over or under ripe. There is no apparent damage, mould or insects. I dont use any sprays. Any ideas
Hi. I have planted raspberries, blueberries and blackberries this year - I live in portugal so the seasons are different. I have lots of flowers but no setting fruit. can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Hi, I am new to fruit growing.My Autumn fruiting raspberries are throwing out suckers. Will they go on to fruit and can I dig them up to replant them as viable plants?
Hi Mandi, I also live in Spain and have planted some raspberries, blackberries etc. My blackberries have large fruit (as do my rasberries) whiteberries/recurrant should fruit in the winter time.
Although it is hotter here; still use the same method as you would in the UK (seasons etc); you need to water them regularly and make sure they have a little shade during the daytime too. Mine have sun and shaded time.
I am fortunate as I have a few flowers that attract bees so maybe that is the secret. I also feed the plants (even though they are wild in the UK) which seems to help them.
This is all new to me too, I am usually more of a flower person. So reg. water; once a month feed; sun/shade; and grow something to attract a few bees. You can't go wrong!
