(Rubus idaeus) -Full Sun– thornless! Everbearing
Thornless, stout canes produce very large sweet berries. It is a primocane or “everbearing” type: will crop early summer and again in the fall if only the dead (second year) shoots are selectively pruned out every winter. Most market growers (including us) mow down the entire plant every winter, resulting in a heavier crop of high quality berries in the fall only. Red raspberries require a raised bed to thrive in our heavy clay. Plant 1’-2’ apart in row; will fill in row with suckers in a year or two. Does not need trellising. Self fertile.

(Rubus occidentalus) -Full Sun to Part Shade– sweet wild flavor, huge berries, early season
Early season. A time-tested variety which still holds the main spot in nursery catalogs, and for good reason. Black glossy berries about twice the size of wild black raspberries, twice the yield, and strong, anthracnose-resistant canes. Definitely needs trellising or you will wind up with tip-rooted plants everywhere! Has all the flavor of wild black raspberries—simply delectable! Canes can grow over 10’ long; best to tip at 5′. Space 2.5’ apart in row. Needs well drained soil or a raised bed. Self fertile.

(Aronia melanocarpa) -Full Sun to Part Shade– Blueberry-sized fruit born in clusters, high antioxidants. Self-fertile, but may produce better with pollinator. 3-4′ tall x 3-4′ wide
Good producer and a beautiful compact landscape bush.
3″ pots $4, Quart pots $8, Gallon* pots $16
North American native plant,
Medium-sized, attractive, native shrub with 3 season interest. It is also a practical and prolific berry producer. Aronias have gained fame recently as a super fruit due to their very high levels of antioxidants. They are flavorful but astringent and not very sweet, so not super great to eat out of hand (although our picky toddlers loved them!). However, they make a tasty addition to smoothies, jam, baked goods, etc. The bushes are very productive and the blueberry-sized berries form in easy-to-pick clusters. We have had some success harvesting with a blueberry rake, but prefer to just snip clusters; removing stems afterwards at the kitchen counter. Berries are firm, so no worries about squishing as you pick, and they hold on the bush for a long time, so you can wait for the whole bush to ripen and pick all at once. They are also not as plagued by birds as other berries, and are pest and disease free. One of our favorites for edible landscaping. Partial shade to full sun. Self-fertile but may do better with a pollinator. Zones 3-8.
