Central TexasQ.watering blackberry and raspberry plants
Once blackberries and raspberry plants have been trimmed for the fall, do we still need to water them?
- Answered by

July 27, 2015A.Generally when the plants are done fruiting they will need less moisture.
Continue to make sure your watering if the soil conditions are dry. Do this until they are dormant.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/blackberries/growing-blackberry-bushes.htm

5b, Holland MIQ.should I feed my berry bushes now?
My gooseberries and currants had a severe sawfly infestation that stripped just about every leaf. Fruit had already set and was too sour to be eaten. Bushes are alive and have started to sprout. Have pruned old wood and non-sprouting twigs. Should I feed now to encourage new growth?

August 14, 2015A.I would treat with Neem Oil for the infestation.
Certainly trim away the damaged material.
Do not try to fertilize this time of summer.

Victoria bc canadaQ.logan and raspberry plants
I am in the process of moving and dug my berry plants up and put the roots in plastic bags. Unfortunately, I didn't realize I should have put dirt in the bags as well. My daughter was supposed to water them but didn't. Now they are dried out. Is there any way I can try to revive them? thanks

H4g2v6Q.Leaves of strawberry and blackberry turning brown

May 15, 2016A.This looks to be either Strawberry Leaf Spot or Strawberry Leaf Blight.
Cultural practices are the recommendations to control these diseases.
In the image your soil looks quite wet, along with the leaves on your plants.
Well draining soil and keeping watering from splashing onto the leaves.
Crop rotation will also help in controlling these fungus diseases.Here are some articles with more information.

March 27, 2024Q.In South Louisiana, Have Many Floricanes Which Sprout Close To Each Other. Is Each Floricane To Be Spaced 4 Feet Away From Others?
How to trellis them so fruit will be higher off ground. These dewberry floricanes are each separate, not like book and video blackberry images which have many canes coming from a single crown root and show trellising of these multiple canes along the trellis line(s) so they are easy to pick and with multiple berries at each location. My wild dewberries are just a string of single not very large berries, and lots of the flowers, even if they become berries, don't mature to black but stay green and then dry out. Do I transplant: If a hole is dug and multiple canes are put in it, will they all survive? If planted separately and spaced 4 feet it looks like not much fruit can be expected, since the berries are on a single strand. Also, will the canes fruit if elevated (easy to pick), or do they have to remain on the ground (hard to pick)? The red primocanes are pretty, but thorny, and the white flowers are a nice show, but if there isn't going to be a fruit yield, I think I will have to get rid of them and maybe replace them with erect berries with high yield and convenient(erect) picking habit.
