My Edible Fruit Trees: Berry Trees ACT

Berry - Elderberry

Comments: -

I recently purchased an Elderberry Canadensis from Daleys, but was surprised to see it sprout golden leaves.  I had not expected the "Aurea" (Golden) variety as I did not even know that Daleys sold that.  However, the golden leaves look great. I just hope that the fruit is as good as that of the green leaved variety.  I initially thought that I might have a soil problem, such as a lack of nitrogen, but a gentle application of seasol based power feed made no difference to the colour of the foliage. Is Daleys actually propogating Sambucus Nigra ssp. Canadensis Aurea (Golden Elder) and intending to sell in due course?

Raspberry - Heritage (Seedling) ^10/10

Comments: -

These are one of the best fruits we grow--very tasty, easy to grow and quite a long fruiting season. They taste so much better fresh than frozen, canned or supermarket bought.

We have quite a few varieties of raspberry. They all taste good, but  the Heritage ones have a long fruiting season through autumn (even up to June), but just a few fruits at a time. It's worth growing quite a few Heritage plants. Just buy one to start with though, because they spread like crazy from the roots so by the next spring year you will have 10 plants or so. They can be pruned out if needed and replanted elsewhere and will also grow easily from stem cuttings.

The Heritage variety fruit in their first season (from a spring planting), on the new growth. After fruiting it's best to prune them right back to ground level since those stems won't fruit again. This is easier than pruning summer-fruiting raspberries which fruit on the seond year's growth (so you have to leave the new shoots and cut back only the ones that fruited).

The stems grow fairly tall (2m) and tend to flop over if left. Ours are loosely supported by a nearby mesh fence. you can also tie nearby stems to a tall stake. This works really well and is flexible.

I estimate .5kg of fruit per plant per year--one plant = one stem. Our huge patch arose from one original plant though!
