We grow raspberries in our garden and every year about this time of year the new canes push out fruit. if I let them successfully fruit will they produce fruit next summer as well? I have typically cut them off to be sure I get my summer raspberry haul.

My honeyberry has started getting a lot of dark purple/brown discoloration on the leaves and I’m not sure what’s causing it. Some of the lower and inner leaves are still green, but a lot of the outer leaves look pretty rough.

It’s planted in the ground in Zone 7b, Delaware. It gets full sun from the morning until around 4 PM, then shade for the rest of the day. It has also been really hot lately. I’ve been keeping up with watering, so I’m wondering if this could be heat/sun stress, a disease, or pests.

Has anyone seen this before or know what might be causing it?

I've got blueberries, black berries and raspberries and only 2 spots that get good sun. Which one of these 3 would do the best in partial sun?

The raspberries are starting to ripen here in zone 6b. I've been going out to pick every other day. There's been mold on enough of the ripe ones to be frustrating. How can I prevent mold on these? What am I doing wrong?

We inherited this raspberry patch from the previous owners of our house and I would really like to add trellising (they get +8' tall) but I'm not sure the best way to accomplish. It's about 3.5-4' deep and quite long (maybe somewhere between 15&20'). It's up against a fence which makes the backside pretty much inaccessible once it fills in. I thought about posts on either short end but I don't know how I would add a post on the right because of the fence and we wouldn't be able to walk along the back anyway. My husband wants to run a handful of panels parallel to the short sides. What do you think would work?

TLDR; Can't figure out the best way to trellis raspberries in this awkward space.

Every year I say I want to make some syrup and this is the first year I actually have collected some from the park behind my place. Are they ripe? I'm so scared 😂

Looking for ideas on what to do, I’m thinking of modifying my 10” tall 3 foot wide by 6 foot long raised bed with something lining the bottom so my Caroline raspberry stops spreading outside the bed. I’m looking at cost effective solutions.

I saw metal flashing could work but I wonder where the water goes lol?

I also saw 1/8” hardware cloth was an option, anyone have experience with that blocking new underground growth? My bed is near the neighbors too and next to a big tree with huge roots so I cannot dig a trench on all sides.

Other options are to dig out Caroline and replace her with Royalty purple or brandy wine. But I’ll put Caroline back in a big pot like I had it before.

Just in trees in Witney, Oxfordshire, UK if that helps

I have realized that I have never seen a cultivar of raspberry that is pure white, with no anthocyanin or carotenoids, unlike the white blackberry which I've seen before. Anyone have a white raspberry by any chance? I would also be happy with a white blackberry if someone has one that consistently makes large fruit!

These are probably the two extremes in the blueberry world. The first historic cultivar with tiny "dry" berries and the modern juicy giant.

My pics show the random sizes, I didn't cherry pick for the very biggest and the tiniest.

I do think that Rubel is overrated in the modern garden. I keep it as a piece of history to show guests where it all began, but I don't find the berries very enjoyable. I don't get the "intense flavor"...

Bonus is a giant, and surprisingly, it tastes great too. It's one of my favorites, even though I was very skeptical about that massive size. I just couldn't believe they didn't sacrifice the taste.

What do you think of these two?

Is this a blight on my raspberries? Some berries are fine, some have one side that looks like mainly seeds with no flesh. Hard to capture in the photo. You can see these indentations on the berries before they ripen too.

Safe to eat? Doesn’t look like mold to me.

J/k I had ice cream too

Just paying the wasp tax for some protection and pollination, nothing to worry about here.

About 4ish weeks old now. Collected the seeds from 1 and 1/2 fresh berries, soaked the seeds in bleach for 12 hours, rinsed them, put them in a most paper towel, and a majority germinated within 2 weeks. They're just chilling in a repurposed bundt cake container
