Blackberries offer excellent hardiness in the garden and produce sweet, large, firm, dark berries. Black Satin, Chester, Triple Crown and Loch Ness are all thornless and extremely productive varieties. Also available this season is Snowbank, a white Blackberry which produces large, sweet and juicy white fruits on second-year canes.
|
|
|
|
Currants are rich in flavour and full of vitamins. The Black variety produces larger, black fruits with excellent tangy flavour, while the Red and White varieties produce slightly smaller fruits. Use currents to add flair to dinner dishes and desserts.

Blueberries
When planting Blueberry plants, it is best to plant two different varieties for better pollination and a bigger harvest. Most soils are alkaline (have a high pH); since Blueberries like acidic conditions, add lots of plain peat moss or sprinkle granular sulphur over the growing area. Like all berries, add a balanced fertilizer at planting time.
|
|
- Bluecrop - large, bright blue, sweet fruits.
- Chandler - the largest-size berries, some said to reach cherry size!
- Duke - large, light blue fruits later bloom and ripen.
- Northland - medium-sized berries, tasting much like wild blueberries.
- Patriot - huge berries produced early in high yields.
- Northcountry - high yields of full-sized berries on very hardy, medium-sized bushes that can be grown in containers or smaller spaces.
