9 Types of Berry Bushes to grow in your Garden

Probably the easiest thing to grow in the garden are berry bushes and plants. They're mainly perennial, meaning they re-grow every year, and most are relatively low maintenance. The main thing you really need to worry about is picking the fruit before the birds get them.

In this film I introduce you to nine different berries that I grow in my allotment garden. Some may be familiar but I'll bet there's at least one type that you've not seen before. Let me know which one it is for you as a comment below. Or if you knew (or maybe grow) all of them let me know that as well.

More questions for you:
1. Do you have any further information on Jostaberry Leaf Netting? Or do you think that the leaves infected might be White Pine Blister? I'm finding it difficult to ID the issue.

2. What are your thoughts on the simple raspberry support system?

Saw where a guy painted strawberry shaped rocks and put them out prior to the real berries ripening. Birds left his real berries alone after encountering the red rocks. Neat trick.

I loved your video! Your gardens are lovely! We are also growing all that you mentioned, and lingon berries, dew berries, boysenberries, kiwi berries ( 6 or 7 varieties), wine berries, Logan berries, service berries, arctic raspberries, goji berries, sea berries, wolf berries, three types of mulberry, aronia berry, schizandra berry, multiple types of elderberry and high bush cranberries. We live in a fairly impoverished area. My goal is to create a food forest that can eventually provide food, empowerment and education to our community. I’d like to spread what we are doing on our postage stamp urban food forest to the public spaces, so there is less food insecurity.

I have hundreds of berry bushes around my house. I planted everything that will grow in my area. But then I didn't know what I was going to do with everything. I started mixing the berries and making popsicles. I bought a
Norpro 1951 sauce master that separates the seeds and skins and just leaves the juice and tiny pulp. I have several miles of forest behind my house and i take the seeded pulp waste and spread it all over. Now there are raspberries, currents, blackberries, sea buckthorn, honey berries, creeping mint berries, blueberries, and goumi berries growing everywhere. People hike through that forest all the time and i see them picking the berries. I should put up a sign that identifies everything.

Interesting ...
I also have 9 types of berries I'm growing. Some I just begun 2 weeks ago, so they might not bear for a year or two.
1-Seaberry or sea buckthorn
2-Goji berry
3-Honeyberry or Honeysuckle
4-Juneberry or Serviceberry
5-Yellow raspberry (Anne)
6-Red raspberry
7-Blackberry thorn bush
8-Blueberry
9-Pink champagne current
Tomorrow I plan on building a cement block raised garden and planting strawberries and asparagus.

Remember the three D's of pruning. Dead, diseased, or deformed. Cutting them off can't hurt, but leaving them can.

[kellynash]

I'm growing all of these except the pine berries, I just never got round to buying some. I'm also growing polarberries, wineberries, lingonberries, cranberries, honeyberries, chilean guava, pinkcurrant, worcesterberries... and probably more berries I've forgotten to list! I love growing fruit 🌺

[petermcfadden]

Japanese Wineberry is my favourite soft fruit. It grows well here in North Wales, good cropper and the birds leave it alone. Jostaberry makes a big bush, but the birds get every one. I love Ben Sarek blackcurrant.

[bobbilynnmiller]

I haven't heard if Josta berries .Your berries are so beautifully maintained . Thank you for sharing your garden with us ! Your videos bring me such Joy !

[sedoniadragotta]

You need two bulbs of garlic with skin on blitz them in blender with two pints boiling water, then store in a 2 litter plastic bottle.
In a spray bottle put in ounce of the solution and top up with water shake spray on you berry bushes and any crop and will kill and deter bugs and diseases from comming on your plants ok.

I'm in a colder climate Canada and grow everything you mentioned.  One that you didn't mention that I grow are Haskap (Honey Berries) and they are my favorite.  We live in a high ph heavy clay area and they do just fine. They are the first berries to be picked in the spring, even before strawberries.  They taste like a kiwi, strawberry blueberry cross. Great fresh and great in jams and deserts.

[KarolinaKrysztofiak]

In Poland, we like to grow wild strawberries in our home gardens, which cannot be bought in stores. They are delicious and bear fruit all season long.

[jksatte]

I've never heard of Josta berries. Your garden is so very well kept. Janice

[peterbathum]

As I start my new homes garden this is a good reminder to include berries ... Thank you from Manistee National Forest in Michigan, us.

[bleepnsheep]

I had trouble growing blueberries until realised it was the ph level. Mixed in some Pete moss and watered with 1/2 cup of vinegar to 1 gallon of water, lemon juice works aswell. Now they are thriving.

[booksandpieces]

Thank you for this. Very timely as I've been offered a second plot and thinking about planting mostly fruit. I like the raspberry support structure a lot, nice and simple for my beginner DIY skills. Gives me ideas for future tomato supports too. It's a pain having to tie individual canes for over 30 plants!

[BigAlSparks]

Didn't catch me on any of those, but then again I grow all those too. Awesome support for your raspberries, like the eco friendly usage of twine and bamboo ! You have put a ton of work into your garden, kudos to you! and I'm sub'd

[billkinder]

YES. The first two berry plants you talked about are new to me.

[pamnapier-uhl]

I just saw the pine berry in a seed catalog last night! Several I did not know or know what to do with. I am starting a new garden at a new home and love the idea of several berries the children can go picking for!

[doesntfighthascookie]

You might get some jostine berries, lingonberry, mulberry, tayberry, aronia and goji berry. Rosehip fruit and Olive berries are good too. Honey berries are also delicious and Arctic raspberry would increase your season they're very early.

[joelegrand]

Yes I knew all of them, I do not grow all of them. I have had an affair with berries for 48 year, as a child I climb wild cherry tree & shook the berris on to a bed sheet to make jelly. Wild muscadines, wild dew/blackberries. I have all these, tame & wild blue berries, muscadine Grape & table grape, raspberry, pears, persimmon, & some nut trees. I really injoyed you video.
