I just got some black raspberries this year as nature's gift to me, not that I planted any. Despite not being in the best location I decided to keep them and see what they do. My only fear is controlling them but I'm pretty active in my (very large) lawn and I think I can keep them penned to one or two areas. Despite this being their first year, the vines are actually bearing a little bit of fruit. Most of it is underdeveloped and shriveling before maturity. But there are a handful of berry clusters that are looking good.

[@karenholt9744]

These grow wild in my yard with birds planting them. I found they like partial shade. If planted in the sun, I found the berries are smaller and the leaves are also smaller and tired looking. I don't need to add any nutrients. I'm mid-Atlantic, zone 7A with clay soil with mica and lots of worms. These plants aren't vines, but canes. The first year's growth doesn't produce fruit the first year, but the following year those same canes produce fruit. After that, you cut down those same canes in the 3rd year because they're done. Good luck!

[@tonyindiana]

Props for the Nightmare at the beginning. Thanks for you kindness

[@franosbornblaschke3694]

I think the birds planted all of my black raspberries. I have enjoyed harvesting what the birds leave for me. : )

I live in northern Washington state. I have found a bunch of Black Caps up here in the forest next to a creek. Thanks for your videos.

[@monicarevey9911]

I’m from the same area! I just found some behind my new raised beds. I thought there where there thimble(?) berries. I want to transfer plant some of them that are gonna get demolished but am nervous I guess.

[@brian1801]

James -- love your calm and mellow approach.

[@mikeries8549]

Wild black raspberries...by me. 50 years ago in central illinois you could find berries and also wild asparagus growing on roadsides, railroad right of ways, and drainage ditches. Much effort went into eliminating these natural and free food sources. The University of Illinois has published that it is impossible to cultivate wild black raspberries? We do. We have patches that are 50 yrs old. As an experiment we crushed a few gallons of berries like we always do for jelly but I kept the seeds and dumped them by the back fence. Guess what? They grew and now birds are spreading the seeds for me. So please sacrifice a few berries and put them at the base of a fence as if a bird sat on the fence then pooped seeds when it flew off. THAT is exactly how it works. Now do it!

[@ragingpatriot772]

I started my own fruit forest because of your channel. Thank you

[@terrapinflyer273]

Hey, what do you have so far? I found a heaping ton of black raspberries in my back yard this year along with 2 mulberry trees (which pushed my flowering snowball bush out of their way lol, but are still no match for honeysuckle if left to grow) and 2 mulberry saplings. Elderberries galore and some other berry I think is edible but haven't identified yet. Small, pale purple white and blue berries that sort of grow on a vine. I spotted them growing on my elm tree last year. It fell over in the late fall, now those berries have completely taken over the fallen remains of it! Not to mention a year or two before it fell my mom stopped by and we just happened to walk in the back looking for morel mushrooms. Found one next to the tree, and as I looked around I spotted them growing all over that area! Think it was 11 or 13 that I found. Haven't seen any there since, but it sure was a cool moment. I'm hoping to work the acre and a smidge here into useable garden space this year. Maybe start a few summer and fall crops, and start planting big time next year. Really want to do persimmons and goji berries if the climate's right here in MO.

I love looking at old videos after a channel took off ;) Now there's so much enthusiasm! Love it. Wife brought home some raspberries, blueberries and grapes that I have to figure out how to make work 🤣👍

[@Donnybrook10]

we have a secret large supply and they are ready now! Life is good

[@nottthereyet4872]

Sitting at my kitchen table in Northern Illinois right now eating a plateful of black raspberries from my yard. I never do anything to prune or care for them, but every year I get a healthy bumper crop to pick right off the vine. Maybe I will begin taking extra care to expand even further. Thank you. 🍃

[@Kuhzander]

Watching your old videos ur so tense haha but ur new videos are so natural and casual awesome bro

[@johnwilcox4078]

Blackcaps rule! I started out picking wild blackcaps here in Wisconsin, now I grow a couple of varieties, New Logan and Cumberland. I love to eat them fresh, and add some in my cherry wine!

Thanks for this one, James. I'm in Central Tx so I thought raspberries were out of the question. Gonna have to take a deeper look into these!

I have a raspberry bush in my garden bordering a graveyard. The raspberries are very tasty so it me lol when you said that raspberries grow in a soil with high organic or humus matter 😅😂😂😂

[@arthurmarks3763]

Thanks for the pointers. I’m in Long Island. I’m going to order them from the nursery for planting. I did not see Tucker in this video

[@shawns0762]

Hey I am in Medford, you can have some of my berry plants, I am moving soon, I have wild black raspberries, heritage raspberries, triple crown blackberries, wineberries and thimbleberries.

How about an episode on how to root them so that we can have more plants

Here in southwest Brazil, the plant act like doesn't know what season is. Start frutify with 6 month grown, after that is literally a fruit factory. The clusters have no space between the fruits. Thanks for tips. Kind regards.

Hi, thank you for your tips, what do the black raspberries taste like?

[@luchurujetakezevi4346]

Mine is flowering, i planted last summer 😂😂😂😂

[@ForgingFreedomTV]

Awesome video 😊 we love our black raspberries over here at the Forging Freedom Channel. One problem I have had year over year is no matter how much I water them they turn out quite small. I think they should be bigger. They face west though and so get a lot of heat in our Utah sun. Any recommendations?

[@jamesprigioni]

If the plants are to dense you can thin them out which could help, then add a good thick mulch down to help retain the moisture when you water. Also, if you haven't kept up on pruning your canes your plants may be trying to just produce more then they can because they are stressed and are trying to produce as much seed as possible. I hope this helps, thanks for watching :)

[@ForgingFreedomTV]

james prigioni thanks for the quick response. Yep, doing all those things, so glad to know I'm on the right track 👍😊 I think I'll try rigging up some shade for the afternoon West sun and see if that makes a difference next Summer. Just subbed you 😊 check us out if you get time. We do a live podcast on YT Friday and Monday evenings

[@rosegeaber7533]

I am in Coastal New England and have a ton of red raspberries/ wineberries. They seem to have dominated the area leaving me only a few black raspberries. Any ideas how to increase black raspberries?!

? I'm trying to figure out if these will multiply in the way that red raspberries do. We purchased a single plant and I'd like to train it to grow more over time. Thank you for being an inspiration (you too Tuck!

All the Black raspberries I’ve seen are only hardy to zone 8! (I’m 9) I just purchased nova it’s the only one I could find for my zone- a red variety.

That was a great video! Right to the point- exactly what I needed to know! Thanks!

[@jamesprigioni]

Great! Thanks, there will be more coming in the future!

[@dannypeace9053]

love raspberries, but they are a no go for me. I gotta stick to tropical fruit. just found your channel, glad I did, I love seeing food forests, it's what I aspire to have.

[@alexcontreras6103]

Yea I like tropicals but they are more expensive to buy and a little tougher to grow because of the dieback in winter

[@BobMelsimpleliving.]

[@mikejones7415]

Great video James!

[@africkinamerican]

Interesting. I I'm noticing these near where I live, but a lot of them, even the very plump juicy looking ones, seem to have a whitish fuzz in the center and even growing on the outside in between the segments. Is that some kind of mold?

[@c.s.5177]

Aka black caps. What we call them.

[@zeus9271]

I found out this year that they are not as hardy as red raspberries. We had a bad winter with lots of rain and it died back to the ground. It's started growing again albeit quite slowly 😟

[@kvq1999]

~ ~ Can some 1 PLEASE PLZ tell me the Name of that Song in the Beginning ?? i heard it before as an instrumental - is it five finger discount ?

[@rashanet351]

Does it help to have a natural compost in the soil where the black raspberry plants will eventually go? I'm thinking of starting the seeds in little individual soil pods or in pots and then transplanting them to a garden space once they've grown a bit.

[@terrim.602]

Do they taste like red raspberries? Do they shoot new canes?

[@dorasestito5906]

Do you grow any pineapple guavas?

[@epsteinsnecktie8690]

Why are they not sold in stores but red ones are everywhere?

[@scottwebber652]

I have laterals 3' long. Do u ever trim them?

[@parrishn5945]

I have lots of black raspberries this year but they are tiny. What causes this or what can I do to get larger size?

[@dylanlaureys]

you might want to thin them out. If you have alot of canes, you can cut out 2/3 of them and top off the remaining canes at eye height. The canes will eventually fatten up and the fruit gets bigger. At least this helped me out!

[@elianagaspar9321]

I was wondering. How can you know the difference between A black raspberry and a black berry?

[@Dankapotamus918]

Raspberries the core stays on the stem of the plant when you pick it that’s why raspberries are hollow but when you pick blackberries the core comes with the blackberry and so it’s not hollow.

[@funnyguise]

wasn't quite everything I needed to know. I want to transplant some at my sister's and niece's...

[@arthurmarks3763]

How much sun do they need?

[@ericschmuecker348]

Why did it crunch?

[@danabaker596]

This a seed inside every little nodule.

[@ericschmuecker348]

@danabaker596 Yes, but they don't "crunch" audibly. Only to the eaters ears. I better test this out. Berries should be ripe in a week or two.
