Lorna says... Have you grown the Kerryberry before? I have them here, and compared to the likes of the Boysenberry, Loganberry and Blackberry their production is pathetic. They produce a flowering end to their canes and only riped one or two berries at a time, whereas the Boysenberries produce flowers all along their canes together at one time, giving four weeks of good picking. If you lived close by, you could have the whole lot, because where I am they are truthfully not worth the trellis space and water that they take up. The Boysenberies give me 30kg from six plants, and the Kerriberry gives me a scratchy handful of berries when it feels like it. The plant is big and has strong canes, but here it certainly does not deliver. The different flowering habbit is the cause I am sure. Does anyone else have them growing to compare production in different areas? | About the Author Lorna Albany WA 24th September 2010 4:11pm #UserID: 591 Posts: 91 View All Lorna's Edible Fruit Trees |
