This year at Schweikert Greenhouse, we have plenty of brambles, so you can harvest delicious berries including Thornless Blackberries, Red Raspberries, and Blueberries.
Blueray Blueberry
Very sweet, light blue fruits resist cracking. Ripen in July and the harvest goes on for weeks. Plant with another blueberry varieties to ensure adequate cross-pollination. The 5-6′ tall bushes become a blaze of crimson in the fall, so they are ideal arranged as an informal hedge. Blueberries like a very acidic soil and full sun.
Bluecrop Blueberry
Unbeatable for consistent yields, large high-quality fruit and disease resistance. 4 to 6 ft. bush bears up to 20 lbs. of firm, light blue fruit. Berries are large—about 65 per cup compared to the 120 or so needed with other varieties. Ripens in mid July
Triple Crown Thornless Blackberry
These large, juicy-sweet, blue-black berries grow abundantly for five of your summer’s sweetest weeks. Enjoy the firm, nutritious berries as a snack or instant dessert; and they’re superb in a pie, mousse or sorbet. The thornless blackberry plants are upright, orderly and easy to maintain. Growing 4-8′, the plants form a sturdy hedge with the canes supporting pounds of fruit without a trellis.
Heritage Red Raspberry
We chose Heritage because it is an everbearing variety that produces an abundance of fruit that are both large and delicious. So whether you want to eat them fresh, can them, freeze them, or put them on your cereal, Heritage Red Raspberries will suit your needs. Heritage will produce a crop of berries in both early summer and late summer.
