(Plant heights are given at maturity)
Woodland Black Cap™ - Black fruit with
sweet, rich
flavor and loaded
with antioxidants. Although R. silvis is the
ancestor of what are sometimes
called
'black raspberries' or thimbleberry , this is not a
berry, but is an aggregate
fruit and this variety produces a black 1/2 - 5/8 inch diameter
round
fruit on
the end of the stems that has a much richer and distinctive taste.
When the fruit of Rubus occidentalis silvis
first forms like a Cap on the end of each stem, it is Light Green then
turning white. As the fruit grows it slowly goes through a
spectrum of colors turning a Yellow then through Beige to Pink; then
from Bright Red to Deep Red to Purple. Eventually it turns Blue and
then Darker Blue. Time to eat when it is Dark Dark Blue
(Black). All of the colors in one fruit! Mid-season
ripening. Plant height: 9ft. Winter hardy to
-20F degrees (-30 C.)

Berries
BLUEBERRY
Blueberries are a traditional American fruit, used for pies,
jellies and jams. There are two main types: Highbush,
or
cultivated blueberries and Lowbush, or wild
types. Highbush berries
grow to a
height of 10ft. or more and, generally, have larger fruits .
Lowbush
berries grow to only about 3ft. and have smaller berries.
There
are varieties of both types that do well in warmer or cooler climates,
thus there are Northern highbush, Southern highbush
and Northern and
Southern lowbush varieties. Plant at least one plant of two or
more varieties to guarantee pollination.
All blueberries prefer a slightly acidic soil with optimum pH at
4.0-5.2. Soil should be slightly moist, so compact clay soils
aren't blueberry-friendly. If your soil pH is higher, you can
lower it by adding quantities of loam, compost (oak leaves are great),
or sulfur. Porosity can
be increased by adding peat. Plant the bushes rather shallowly
(no deeper than 6"). Keep the weeds down, but make certain that
you don't cultivate deeply around the roots - blueberries have shallow
root systems that can be damaged by deep cultivation. Also, you
should choose an area to plant that has good circulation and away from
tree roots. Don't prune until you have about three year's growth,
then remove weak
shoots. As the bushes age, they will require heavier pruning, so
don't be afraid to "lay into 'em".
Northern Highbush - USDA Zone 3-6
Bluecrop -
Midseason. This is the
leading commercial variety of blueberry grown in the US, producing high
