Thanks Lucas, I appreciate it!
If 2 of these bad boys have roots then I’m good with that! Excited for Jan’s best

The first year I grafted my gerardi… it produced and ripened some fruit but they were smallish and quite bland.
In year 2… improved much… larger berries, sweet and fruity… nothing complex about it no tartness…
Last year… year 3… improved much again… larger berries, complex fruity flavor both tart and sweet. As good as any blackberry I have ever had.
Year 4 coming up…

Do you sell or trade Jumbo Siam to Canada?
I’m in so cal mountains. I have had success rooting a couple pakistani. But far more success grafting to local volunteers. The own root grew to about 3 feet this summer. Healthy and I’d be happy except the grafted ones on rooted twigs hit close to six feet. And i went 3 for 4 on grafted and 1 for 4 rooting. Just my experience.

None of my rooted Pakistani attempts failed and the one I planted grew 6ft but the two in pots barely grew at all. I guess it’s random like that. I have 3? Rooting in the greenhouse now (barely trying) because the last rooted so easily so we will see.
Time of year maybe? Greenhouse temps? Curious. Because i have one rootstock i collect that literally I’ve dropped pieces in the greenhouse and they rooted sideways on the ground. It depends it seems on time of year or type of mulberry.

Yeah I think that is likely the case
Dwarf everbearing started flowering yesterday. Second plant to flower after my sharpblue blueberries, but will probably be the first I get fruit off of. They ripen so much faster.
Mine too, and I’m about to get a 28F degree freeze. I hope it doesn’t just kill the production!
