Would you be willing to sell me two plants of Siskiyou? Preferably, rooted in a one gallon or three gallon.
One Green World and Burnt Ridge Nursery sell Black Diamond. I considered it but the berries are smaller and the flavor was rated lower than Black Pearl. I still might get it in the future.
However, Siskiyou is a definite want, and I am willing to pay for a healthy established plant.
Please, let me know if you’d be willing to sell.
Thanks
PS: I would also like to get Silvanberry, if available.
I dont sell potted plants. I dont really sell to be honest but offer to those interested for sake of discussion.
This is probably the best berry that nobody wants. I have no idea why its gone from the trade. I have offered it many times with zero interest… so i have no plants available right now.
@FruitsFanatic… noticed you said northern GA. You are not all that far from me. I am in southern middle TN.
I tried Obsidian here.. loved the big long blackberries.. but the southern red neck cane borer wiped my canes out.
Same for Loganberry.. I grew them first and had great luck with them for 3 or 4 years.. then RNCB hit.. and wiped my canes out multiple times. I had to quit growing them too.
Western berry canes here have no chance of making it long term.
I have Illini Blackberries since 2003… and have some Kiowa now… those big thick canes, extra thorny varieties… work best for me. RNCB, Birds and Deer.. leave them alone.
Have you had trouble with RNCB there in Northern GA ?
I could grow and trellis 60 ft of logan canes.. then late summer early fall check them one day and they were all wilted. RNCB enters the canes just above soil level… They wreck your canes for sure, big swell in the cane riddled with borer tunnels.
@FruitsFanatic these look fantastic BTW I’ve always wanted to grow a Hall’s Beauty but just don’t have the space with all the other trailing types I’ve got going.
‘Latham’ red raspberry is my mainstay red rasp. Very tough plants, more or less everbearing even though they are said to be a floricane variety. The berries have a rich tartness that coats the throat when you eat them.
‘Boyne’ (Latham offspring) and ‘Prelude’ are also good. Boyne is more tropical flavored than Latham and less rich. ‘Prelude’ has a chocolate flavor to it. Prelude never gets much color for some reason.
Blackberries
‘Navaho’ is my favorite blackberry. It’s a sweet variety. There are also some dewberries in my area that only get 1’ high that taste similar.
But the berries are small and incredibly crumbly and delicate. Also the canes have started to collapse on themselves on the trellis wire after growing to 7-8 feet tall
