Mainly I've grown red raspberries, with a couple of struggling blackberries and black raspberries.
This year however, I've gotten some new varieties of raspberries, got more black raspberries and blackberries, plus some yellows – Fall Gold did fairly well as did my lone red Heritage and Palono. I've also gotten a couple of gooseberry and red currants, plus some3 grapes, and blueberries. So it's now a matter of waiting.
We are in zone 7 and grapes grow like weeds here. We have temperatures around zero every winter but grapes still thrive.
Our three most productive fruits lat year were #1:Wild Black Caps (a bird planted them for us and they have prospered for us), #2 Pears, #3 Strawberries… We are in Zone 5b, in upstate NY…Looking forward in the next few years to a good Kiwi harvest as promised in the plant catalogs, but so far, just disappointment and longing 🙁
hey Huw, raspberries are the best performing soft fruit I have. I think it's because they are well established in the garden. we've had them years
blackberries and concord grapes. We are trying to grow pineapple guava and Barbados cherry so we can have fruit all year

Hey i love your channel alot

My raspberries are doing good! Thank you so much for making these videos!
BEAUTIFUL BERRIES..AJ
Can you supply bare rooted cutting from your sylvan berry (by post)
what is the name of your prod. grapevine that is just inside the solar tunnel / My 3 were red currant, blackberry, black wild rasp., dessert red goossberry.
I can not remember if it is a logan or a tay but we have a vine fruit in the garden and it produces thousands of berries. And if we aren't harsh with cutting it back, the runners fill the entire garden.
What variety/cultivar of RecCurrant was that?
Huw, how many of each plant would you suggest as a minimum basic for the currants and also raspberry and blackberry for a decent harvest? please?!… many thanks… love your videos, learning so much! thank you again
Huw, So true about the red currant production last year we harvested about 30 lbs from bushes that totalled approximately a 12 foot row. You may want to consider mounding up the earth around your grape plants. We're in zone 5b and a gentleman from Alsace started a vineyard with European varieties for making wine and that was the method he used to protect the vines during winter and then he removed the excess earth when it warmed up in the spring.
Regard from Canada
Had a bumper crop of black currants, elderberry, and raspberries.
can you dot down the names, hard to under stand your talk cuz, can you write it down the types of soft fruit, mahalo for yer time wish I could understand you, your ascent is cool but us in hawaii no can understand smile aloha from oahu hawaii 96782, anihinihi st pacific palisades aloha
Huw. Blackcurrants. Raspberries and Rhubarb.
I'm just looking forward to my tayberries this year, I thought I'd have a look in your channel about it. Great pos t thanks
Black currants are always very productive but my wife and kids won’t eat them. My hardy kiwis (Zone 6) are starting to give good yields after many years of waiting. Gooseberries are also fairly productive qnd taste almost identicle to green grapes without the nice texture. The black raspberries native to Michigan are also very productive. In contrast, all of my blackberry plants supposedly developed by the university of Arkansas (mostly with Native American names) have been a huge disappointment.
Here in Australia, grapes are very easy to grow but the sweet fruit attracts wasps so be very careful where you plant them if at all.

Use a comb to pick . Simple
i try to grow temperate fruits in Thailand raspberry and pear
1) Raspberries, a variety that just keeps on making fruit till frost kills it. It's vulnerable to mold and maggots, though, so it needs to be picked once per two days.
2) Red currants.
3) Black currants (but I have over 20 bushes and it's inconsistent).
I also love black currants. I love the taste & the high vitamin C content. They set up really nicely in jams or marinades. I also find they are easy to separate and create new fruit bushes in the fall. Plus the birds are drawn to our bushes for whatever we leave on the bushes.
My raspberries have done really well this year there still producing fruit in november i just find the pruning of them complicated everyone tells you different things im assuming these are Autumn fruiting ones floricane /primocane ??
