Julie says... ran, they do need a fair bit of maintenance, otherwise they will grow wild and produce little fruit. You have to prune them every year. Regular summer watering is important too. In my area (hills outside Perth, cold winters) I gave up on boysenberries because the hot east winds came just as the fruit were ripening, and dried the berries . I never got to eat a sweet, ripe berry. | About the Author Julie Roleystone WA 10th May 2010 7:13pm #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees |

Julie says... ran, you may not have hot east winds like we do in Perth, so it might not be a problem for you. I just ignored the plants and they died from lack of water. I do know someone in my area who grows raspberries, so perhaps her garden is more sheltered. You could try just one small plant to see how it goes. | About the Author Julie Roleystone WA 11th May 2010 3:57pm #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees |
