The Himalayan BlackBerry, and it got me thinking 364 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 2: about blackberries and raspberries. Plants are fruit I love, and 365 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 2: plants I don't know a whole lot of out okay, 366 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 2: And you are about the best expert on that in 367 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 2: my personal circle. 368 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 3: In this room, yeah, this room. Yeah, you know, but 369 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 3: back to your Himalayan, which isn't Himalayan, it's from like Iran. 370 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 2: And yeah, it's funny how those media, but if you. 371 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 3: It's not a news flash that this this thing's been 372 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 3: gobbling up the Northwest for a long time. And it's 373 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 3: a real bugger of a plant. Yeah, it's and it's 374 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 3: just crazy invasive. But taste good, taste good, but bad 375 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 3: for the landscape. Yeah, and good old Luser Burbanks, the 376 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 3: guy who introduced that plant breeder extraordinary, the Burbank potato 377 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 3: Russet potato. 378 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it's like in the hole. Did he do 379 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 2: we're good at harm? I don't know. You know, these 380 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 2: are tough questions. People don't know the results of what 381 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 2: you know, their work might run. 382 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 3: You never know. 383 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 2: You got to just be careful. They had no idea 384 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 2: at that time. 385 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 3: Now we do. He was trying to do good. 386 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 2: He was he was trying to feed the population, give 387 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 2: them something good to eat. But I've got all these questions. Okay, 388 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 2: so all raspberries and blackberries are in the rubus genus, 389 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 2: but what are they like the part? You know, like 390 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 2: I always think blackberries, well they're black, but then there's 391 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 2: black raspberries. But the BlackBerry always has more of it, 392 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 2: a little bit of a twang to it, whereas the 393 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,719 Speaker 2: raspberry is more sweet. It is that kind of a. 394 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 3: Well, there is a flavor difference, but the structurally a raspberry, 395 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 3: when you pick it it it comes off the receptacle, 396 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 3: which is this little you know, if you look inside. 397 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 2: Raspberry, it's hollow. 398 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it pulls free from the receptacle. A BlackBerry 399 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 3: that does not pull free, It stays on the fruit. Okay, 400 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 3: so you don't see that hollow section. 401 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 2: That's mainly the entire difference. 402 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 3: That's the botanically, that's the difference. That's I mean the 403 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 3: course different flavor profiles. 404 00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, so you know, dig in and I'm just 405 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 2: going to ask you general questions because you know I'm 406 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 2: ignorant on the subject. But what is the different you know, 407 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 2: why is there a black raspberry when we think of 408 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 2: raspberries generally is red. And why is it it not 409 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 2: a BlackBerry because that receptacle thing, I'm guessing. 410 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's a black raspberry. That's why it's not. No, 411 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 3: But I mean, so, okay, you have your red raspberry group. 412 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 3: We won't dive too much in the specific, but in 413 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 3: the red group you have red yellow orange berries. But 414 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 3: they're all in that red raspberry and a black raspberry 415 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 3: is a totally different species native right around here. I 416 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 3: grew up picking them. Very delicate fruit. I mean, all 417 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 3: raspberries are delicate. This very sang your hands, and it's 418 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 3: just very different. It's my favorite berry, the BlackBerry, raspberry. 419 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 2: Black raspberry, okay, yeah, yeah, and yeah, I was looking 420 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 2: at the species online and it's like the red raspberry. 421 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 2: I guess it's ruber idaeis yeah, and possibly sometimes Rubis strugosis. 422 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 3: There's always something else thrown in, okay. 423 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, And they're all mixed up in hybrids and things, 424 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 2: yeah yeah, okay. And then the black raisberry is uh 425 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 2: Rubus occidentalis, and that's that's a native to the eastern Us. Correct. 426 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 3: And then there's a western counterpart. 427 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:25,360 Speaker 2: Okay, as there often is with with plants. Interesting blackberries. 428 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 2: I'm showing like several Rubis fruiticosis, Rubis alleghany aensis, which 429 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 2: is a native from the Eastern Union, are uh rubus 430 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 2: ers in. 431 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 3: This Yeah, that's from the out west. 432 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 2: Out west. And then las Aniatis evergreen backberry. 433 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know the the western blueberries. Those two 434 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 3: species have been used amongst others in the breeding. Okay, yeah, yeah, 435 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 3: you know you species. 436 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 2: You drive past those big farms out in you know, 437 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 2: the valleys of California, you see them growing. 438 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 3: Right California, Oregon, Washington, and they often grow these trailing 439 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 3: types that just aren't hardy and do well here. They're 440 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 3: called trailing, but they train them up. They're more vining 441 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 3: like our dewberries. 442 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 2: And usually it looks like there's a shade cloth of 443 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 2: some kind of or a cloft overtop for some reason. 444 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 3: Sometimes. 445 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, So, how what's the best uh what do you 446 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 2: find that like the best varieties for gardeners are to 447 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 2: grow for either blackberries or raspberries. Oh boy, I know. 448 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 3: The best varieties. Well, let's just back up a little bit, okay, 449 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 3: Can I just talk about structure and fruiting and just 450 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 3: dood Okay, So with blackberries, and raspberries. You have the 451 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 3: prima cane fruiting and flora cane fruiting. So a BlackBerry 452 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 3: grows or raspberry that first year that cane, this year's 453 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 3: growth is called a prima cane, and then normally that 454 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 3: overwinters and fruits the next. 455 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 2: Year on the primate kin on the floor. 456 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 3: After overwinters and blooms and fruits, that's called the floracane. 457 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 3: So it's a two year process. Now they introduce these 458 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 3: primacane fruitings. It's been a while to where it'll grow 459 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 3: on the primacane and fruit the same year as the growth, 460 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 3: So there's they both. They require different pruning methods, and 461 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 3: you can. It's possible. 462 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,719 Speaker 2: You can. If you mess this up, you're probably costing 463 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 2: yourself a crop. 464 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 3: It's possible. Yeah, yeah, some people do. Like if you 465 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 3: have a floracane and type and you cut it to 466 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 3: the ground, you're you're going to lose your whole year's crop, 467 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 3: Whereas if you have a prima caane which fruits at 468 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 3: first year, you'll. 469 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 2: Still have a crop. Really important to know what you're 470 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 2: ordering when you buy raspberries or blackberries, and then remember 471 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 2: what they are. You know as far as prima caine 472 00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 2: or fluoroicane. 473 00:27:58,400 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 3: That's correct, okay. 474 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 2: Right, Is it kind of a good idea that maybe 475 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 2: to have both so you sort of have yourself covered. 476 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I have both types of blackberries, which is 477 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 3: a great thing because my blackberries, very unusual, were frozen 478 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 3: to the snow level this year really in you know, 479 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 3: I have a community garden in the hole. Yeah, so 480 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 3: freeze really settles in there and they were frozen down. 481 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 3: So any floricane variety which would have fruited on last 482 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 3: year's growth, it's no crop on those guys, okay. And 483 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 3: I have some prima cane blackberries and raspberries, but they 484 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 3: survived anyway that I just cut down and I'll get 485 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 3: crop in like starting in late July August. Yeah, so 486 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 3: the floracane crop usually comes first and then when your 487 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 3: primate caanes come later. That's why they often call them 488 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 3: fall rasberries. On the raspberries, they're really not a fall. 489 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 3: They start in the mid summer. 490 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. What are the ever bearing? I mean I see 491 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 2: that name. 492 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 3: A lot everbearing would be a primacaine type fruiting where 493 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 3: you you you don't prune them down to the ground, 494 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 3: you'll get the floricane crop in June. Each early June, 495 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 3: and then later in the summer the new growth will. 496 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 2: Get okay, So the floricanes you get kind of maybe 497 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 2: two crops out of yes, no prima chane okay, and 498 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 2: the floricane is just the one correct. And that's the 499 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 2: whole terminology is really confusing because you have the different 500 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 2: growth types that are referred to as primacine or floricane, 501 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 2: but then they also group them as a primacaine fruiter 502 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 2: or a floricane. It's just you see how confusing. 503 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 3: It does. 504 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 2: Get confusing really fast. Yeah, you should write a book 505 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 2: and solve you just layout this. 506 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 3: I should have done that before this show. 507 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, now somebody else is on it right now. They're 508 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 2: right typing away like mad. My head is spinning. Let's 509 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 2: take a break and we'll come back. We'll finish this conversation.

And we are trying trying hard 537 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 2: to untangle the web that is blackberries and raspberries. And 538 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 2: you did your best, but I'm still confused. But we're 539 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 2: going to move away from the theory, away from you know, 540 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 2: all the differences and this and that. 541 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 4: And. 542 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 2: Now I want, yeah, we want to know. What everybody 543 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 2: wants to know is like what should I grow? So 544 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 2: you know, what should we grow? 545 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 3: Okay, so let's just start with red raspberries. Okay, I've 546 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 3: tried a whole lot of red raspberries, and now breeders. 547 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 3: Breeders are really mainly focusing on those autumn or prime 548 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 3: chain varieties and thornlessness too, which is nice. So the 549 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 3: I like raspberries for the Midwest and Northeast in our 550 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 3: general area from Cornell they're breeding program university. One My 551 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 3: latest favorite is called Crimson Blush. It's kind of a 552 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 3: salmony colored berry, large fruit, big panicles of raspberries like 553 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 3: there could be you know, let's say a hundred or 554 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 3: fifty to one hundred on one thing. It's just easy 555 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 3: to pick and raspberries. Raspberries do best and taste best 556 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 3: in northern areas where you have cooler nights and cool 557 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 3: day temperatures. But this one still tastes great even in 558 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 3: the heat of our summer. And then you get this 559 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 3: late crop so that it's just. 560 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 2: A what was that one called again, Crimson blush. Crimson 561 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 2: Blush relatively new in Anxiety. It's a red raspberry that 562 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 2: isn't red. 563 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 3: Right, and it's a kind of your traditional taller I 564 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 3: mean it turns red, oh actually, but it's ripe at 565 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 3: this SALMONI okay. And then there's other Crimson series that 566 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 3: I like, Crimson Night and Crimson Treasure. There that whereas 567 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 3: Blush is a taller one, more traditional raspberry, the other two, 568 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 3: Treasure and Night are kind of erect, shorter canes. They 569 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 3: can almost stand on their own, probably could, and the 570 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:10,239 Speaker 3: fruit load is all in the same zone, so it's 571 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 3: all right there. You don't have to lift up canes 572 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 3: to find it. And they taste very good. They are 573 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,799 Speaker 3: too great performer. They're both you can get if you 574 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 3: manage them properly. You can get June crop and then 575 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 3: a later in the summer fall crop on all the 576 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 3: ones I mentioned. 577 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 2: And that's a real treat to get that second round. 578 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 3: It is, it is, And if you just don't want 579 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 3: to fuss with all that fancy pruning with the primate 580 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,919 Speaker 3: cane in late winter, you can just prune the whole 581 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 3: thing down and then you'll get one big mid to 582 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:40,720 Speaker 3: late summer crop. 583 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 2: Okay, So you can't go wrong on that one. 584 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 3: No, no, no, that's perfect and it's an easy way 585 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 3: to do it, okay. Yeah. Yeah, So you know, I 586 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,359 Speaker 3: like all those in the red, but there's all kinds 587 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,359 Speaker 3: of good traditional red raspberries out there. 588 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 2: Oh yeah. One that you gave me was Carolina. 589 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 3: Oh Carolina. It's sort of after Heritage, which is a 590 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 3: very famous red raspberry prima cane fruiter as well. Okay, 591 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 3: and Caroline is very good. That's a that was one 592 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 3: of my favorites and doesn't get root rod as easy 593 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 3: as some of the other raspberries. 594 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 2: Well, that's a good question issue to raise. Are these 595 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 2: pretty easy to grow without, you know, pesticides, without fungicides whatever. 596 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, for the most part of the most things, I mean, 597 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 3: I don't spray my I mean commercial growers. Of course, 598 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 3: these monocrops they have to spray something, But in general, 599 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 3: I don't spray my berry crops. No, And you just 600 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 3: have to good well drained soils the key to. 601 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 2: Good well drained. Yeah, what about black raspberries? 602 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 3: Black raspberries, there's not a huge amount of diversity in 603 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 3: black raspberries. They haven't been able to, you know, tweak 604 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 3: them too much. But jewel is an outstanding variety, bigger bay, 605 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 3: a little firmer than the wild ones. Okay, and then 606 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:10,720 Speaker 3: niwatt or sweet repeat. Is this one a home breeder 607 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,359 Speaker 3: did and it's a It gets two crops a year. 608 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 2: So I'll tell you what. It's very likely that the 609 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 2: website is to where I can get some material on it. Yeah, 610 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 2: we get links, and we'll get links and recommendations to 611 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:25,120 Speaker 2: people on it. 612 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,800 Speaker 3: Oh and by the way, Scott, there's the purple raspberry. 613 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 3: We won't go in this. It's a cross between a 614 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,319 Speaker 3: black and a red, of course it is. Yeah, So 615 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,319 Speaker 3: let's move on from there, all right, let's go to. 616 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,319 Speaker 2: Blackberries then, So what do you recommend for that? 617 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,839 Speaker 3: My old standby has always been triple crown. It's what 618 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,439 Speaker 3: they call a semi erect. It's kind of this rambling thing. 619 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 3: It doesn't grow on the ground, but dependable fruit or 620 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 3: really good. I remember the first time, right after it 621 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 3: came out, I was at a fruit meeting and all 622 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 3: these people gathered around it and we all taste it 623 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 3: and were blown away. You know, BlackBerry used to be 624 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,520 Speaker 3: real tart, and those old varieties you just you had 625 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 3: to put a ton of sugar. They were. This thing 626 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:12,440 Speaker 3: is great. It's still a great berry. So that triple 627 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 3: Crown is an excellent one. And there's all these varieties 628 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,759 Speaker 3: out of Arkansas now that are a wreck. They're not 629 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 3: this big, ungangly thing which is a problem. So like Punka, 630 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 3: these are all floracanes, so just one crop Punkah. There's Washita, 631 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:40,160 Speaker 3: all these erect varieties. So but these are out of Arkansas, 632 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:44,040 Speaker 3: the University of Arkansas, which really transformed the BlackBerry growing 633 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 3: and the BlackBerry fruit production. So but then there are 634 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 3: primate kane fruiters like that. You get two crops off 635 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 3: of that. The one of the first really good one 636 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:05,239 Speaker 3: was Primark Freedom, so thornless, two crops, big berries. And 637 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 3: then my favorite is one called Sweet Giant. It's kind 638 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 3: of like Primark Freedom. But I was in the field 639 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 3: with the breeder and I'm like, man, that's it was 640 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,840 Speaker 3: tasted these berries. They were delicious and big, real big berries. 641 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 3: And I said, that's a damn night, that's a damn 642 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,880 Speaker 3: big berry. And the breeders said yeah, and it tastes 643 00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 3: damn good. So that was a fun interaction. We don't 644 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 3: put that in the copy on it, okay, don't. Yeah, 645 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 3: you probably shouldn't have said it on the air. But yeah, 646 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 3: but there's other good ones. There are some ow in 647 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 3: North Carolina that are you know, they even do alright here. 648 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 3: But Vaughan and Irwin, is it easier any different to 649 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:51,359 Speaker 3: grow blackberries? And it is raspberries. Blackberries are not as 650 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 3: hardy going north, and raspberrieses don't red, raspberries don't earnest, 651 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 3: productive and good in the south. They grow different. Blackberries 652 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,840 Speaker 3: are a little tougher more they're just tough plants. Yeah, 653 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:14,640 Speaker 3: a little pruning differences and yeah. 654 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 2: Well you know I've seen where some people, you know, 655 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 2: train them on wires. 656 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's especially for the semi erect all of them. 657 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 3: It's good to have some sort of trail scene because 658 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,640 Speaker 3: even the erect varieties, when they get that fruit on them, 659 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 3: they're heavy and they tend to flop over. So you 660 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,280 Speaker 3: can either do a single you know, a single post 661 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 3: with like three wires, not a single you know post 662 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,399 Speaker 3: on each end and three wires and tie them to that. 663 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,279 Speaker 3: Or you can do a like a T post I've 664 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 3: seen that and and train them between the Yeah. Yeah, yeah, 665 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,799 Speaker 3: so it's it's important really, I mean, otherwise they're just 666 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,279 Speaker 3: going to go like crazy and root in everywhere they 667 00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 3: want to do that. 668 00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:03,320 Speaker 2: Anyway, what about for the you know, just good. 669 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 3: Soil, maybe light fertilization. They don't they don't need too 670 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 3: much unless you're really deplete. But pruning's a big, big 671 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,320 Speaker 3: thing on that right now. I just finished my pruning, 672 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 3: but I had to prune all the blackberries to the ground, 673 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 3: but at my spot because they froze to the ground. 674 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 3: But if what you usually do is trim out the 675 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,799 Speaker 3: dead canes and then the the new canes that are 676 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,279 Speaker 3: going to have, the canes that will fruit this year, 677 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:35,520 Speaker 3: you chop them. You cut them back to about twelve inches, 678 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,760 Speaker 3: so you have your main cane and all the little branches. 679 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,439 Speaker 3: You want to cut those branches back to around twelve inches. 680 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,480 Speaker 2: Twelve inches okayah, is there you mentioned you might have 681 00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,280 Speaker 2: a guide on the gardens Live website. 682 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:51,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, I wrote, it's not a pruning guide, but it's 683 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 3: just an explanation of primate cane and flora caane. 684 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 2: Well, look for a good guide.
