Wild Black Raspberry Dilemma
Comments (9)I don't think the seed carries virus. If it grew from seed (there aren't others nearby) I wouldn't worry much about it. I think the only concern would be that it could be more susceptible to and/or tolerant of disease and serve as a reservoir. But if it gets exposed to disease in its current location, your other brambles will probably also be exposed anyway. The safe planting distances are very large relative to the planting space available to most urban/suburban gardeners. I probably wouldn't worry about it. That said, at my place the wild black raspberries are soft and insipid. I don't even bother to pick them and put them into my mouth when I am out foraging. But Iike my cultivated black raspberries quite a bit for fresh eating....See MoreWild raspberry identification?
Comments (2)Sounds like wineberry. They are Japanese raspberries that have naturalized in eastern US. Regarded as invasive as it will run like all raspberries but I don't find them hard to contain. The fruits ripe at the same time as my blackberries and they are very tasty for fresh eating or baking. You won't find the fruits at markets because they don't store well. They fruit on second year canes so if you cleared everything off last year you won't get any this year. But if you let the new growth grow out this year you will have berries next summer....See MoreQuestion about wild raspberry plant
Comments (2)Cut down any canes that had fruit this year leave the newer looking canes that grew up this year, they will be the ones that produce berries next year....See Morewild black raspberries?
Comments (2)They will grow from seed or from cuttings. They are almost weed like and spread vigorously so nobody will care if you move some I am sure. Mash some berries into bare patches of ground and/or cut some ends off the plants that are trying to burrow into the ground and plant and water vigorously. Or dig up some of the smaller ones or ends already rooted....See Morewell_drained
