snottiegobble says... Just like Kiwifruit, NZ yams (ocas) & tamarillos these berries would all originate from New Zealand :) Er I dont think so! Sounds like they are an improvement in size on Boysenberries & Girlsenberries! Would love to get some for seed, but just hope they are not GM nd using a kiwi black sheep:) | About the Author snottiegobble Bunbury/Busso (smack in the middle) 11th January 2011 1:50pm #UserID: 3468 Posts: 1458 View All snottiegobble's Edible Fruit Trees |

Charles cant spell says... Dont know what your experience germinating berries is Kert but I found most of the European berry seeds I got in germinated fine but I lost the majority to damping off (rotting just under the soil) if you do know some tricks etc please lets us know I would love to not loose 90% of the plants should I try it again.

denise says... The karaka blackberry was developed by the nz government and makes up for about half of all commercial blackberries grown in nz. Though the vigour was not the greatest they were chosen for the fruit. It is a smaller, easy care bush.The parentage includes some USA native blackberry cultivars. If you google karaka blackberry you will get the full story from the various entries.It has many small thorns that are not overpowering. I got one for my own garden after learning about it from your forum, thanks Daleys. | About the Author denise4 auckland nz 25th February 2011 5:02pm #UserID: 1929 Posts: 73 View All denise4's Edible Fruit Trees |

John Mc says... I had success with my Asimina seeds by wetting some coco coir and hand squeezing out as much water as I could, so it was just damp. I then wrapped the seeds in the coco, put it all into a plastic bag and left it in the crisper section of the fridge for 3 months, they all germinated soon after they were removed from the fridge. | About the Author JohnMc1 17th December 2012 7:35am #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |

CanberraJohn says... They are a hybrid developed by the NZ government, the exact details are sketchy but the original plants were hybridised with some different North American varieties. From what I can work out Costas' have the rights in Australia and currently licence berry farmers to grow the crops. The one in the Yarra Valley is well known but there are others. It's a pity that the plants aren't easily available to the general public. | About the Author Berrymaniac Gowrie 4th December 2015 1:47pm #UserID: 12277 Posts: 4 View All Berrymaniac's Edible Fruit Trees |
