Have you gotten fruit from most of your berries in the past? I’m curious your favorites, and the ones you’d call winners and losers!
Had more fruitlets than ever this year, but only some pears and peaches (ones I protected) are making it. However, with 7”+ of heavy snow forecasted (not to mention tomorrow’s forecasted low of 25), I’m more worried about storm damage to the new growth.
Most were put on last year and I removed the beginnings of berries to encourage rooting
everything survived the winter and came back very strong before the first storm had a little bit of die back after that (mainly mulberries), but we’re buckling up up hard for this one ![]()
You’ve convinced me to try honeyberries. I’d been thinking about it, and this is just the testimonial I needed. Thanks!
A lot of people say honeyberries struggle with high temps and direct sunlight - very much Colorado and I’m guessing your location in CA as well. Mine are along the east side of a fence and under some peach trees and do excellent there. Maybe consider providing them some shade…
Everyone do alright with the storm? I had numerous large fruit tree branches break from the snow. Sucks to have such a crummy start to the growing season. I think those honeyberries, and maybe some strawberries, are all I’ll be getting this year.
We got 9” here. I shook them at 11/3/7 and no breakage, but it was definitely needed on some.
