Varieties

Raspberries and Blackberries are Caneberries

❗️Oregon Blackberry Field Update❗️Grower Taylor Martin of G&C Farms shared earlier this week that "Flowers are getting pollinated and caneberries are starting to form. Blackberry plants are always doing two things at the same time, they are growing this year’s crop AND next year’s crop. This year’s crop is floricanes and fruiting laterals, flowers and buds and fruit. For next year’s crop they are growing their primocanes."

How`s that for a Berry Fact Friday? 🤓
