Wineberry (Rubus phoenicolacius)

[@federation_comrade]

Just bought a house with these wine berry brambles all around the perimeter of one side of the yard. Excited to try the fruit! So glad I found this channel too.

[@DazTreacy]

This guy is awesome. He needs a tv series.

[@wolffam2210]

I’m so happy I got these growing along my fence, here in West Haven, Connecticut

[@LouisaCorallo]

I live in New Jersey and I just found this a few houses down growing on land! Picked them and they are delicious! Im going to try to cut a piece a put in a planter.

[@kg8487]

We have these in Northern Virginia

[@Stacker_Actual]

Awesome video! Just bought a house here in Connecticut & I have about 6-7 individual ones in our backyard. Extremely delicious !

[@lynnbishop9493]

They are delicious huh, I best describe it is bright red fruity flavor with a lemon twist at the end

[@robrich8294]

Great info and was unaware of how they propagated like that. Found my first patches in Connecticut this year. Love eating them frozen and what I noticed is the berries that look unripe do not impart a puckering effect like with unripe red raspberries or blackberries. That was what I noticed for a distinction. So if you see a lighter colored berry like almost orange and if it comes off easy will still taste good. Well it does so with me as everyone’s tastes are different. I want to make some pemmican with them when I get raw organic grass-fed butter and mix with raw meat.

[@saltwateranglin]

Been picking these little treasures for 40 years around my land. Always knew of them as wild raspberries. Old fella just today saw me tending to 60 transplants I put in beside the house and told me they’re wineberry. We are both right because they are in the raspberry family and folks call them Japanese raspberry too. I loved you fantastic explanation of them. Thank you sir! I been making wineberry brandy for many moons. Gotta be my favorite shine.

[@rustingsun]

Where do you get a recipe for something like that?

[@saltwateranglin]

@@rustingsun If you know how to make wine, you’re half way there. Our family recipe is a bit of a secret but if you make a big old batch of wineberry wine and run it through a well built still, then oak it a bit and let her set quite a spell you’ll get pretty dang close to a heavenly sippin’ nectar. Of course running a still would be illegal so you’d be doin’ it all simply fer the pleasure of making your own ethanol fuel if ya know what I mean. My engine’s been runnin’ smooth on ethanol fer years!

[@rustingsun]

@@saltwateranglin Thanks my friend! Happy driving!

[@ldlink3935]

can you just eat these raw....one popped up along my fence...

[@saltwateranglin]

@@ldlink3935 Absolutely! Picked 35 pounds this year. Froze some, ate a bunch with cream and sugar, made some jelly, and of course my wineberry brandy. Eat ‘em up, they don’t last long before they’re done for the year.

[@oldmilkmaid1955]

I found a couple of very nice stands of these in central NYS, just east of Cayuga Lake, south of King Ferry. Delectably delicious! I'm glad to hear that these ARE controllable - I'd read that they're considered rampant, aggressively invasive, taking over wherever they're allowed entrance. I love the jewel-like colors of the ripe berries!

[@tylerk.7947]

Yeah. I’m located just 20 minutes from mountain gardens, and here wine berry is I believe technically considered invasive. I’ve definitely seen patches of escaped wine berry, but never an amount that could threaten native plant populations. I have some in my garden and they are far more controllable than raapberries

[@Omegawerewolfx]

Thank you for this. I just picked up two plants. I hope you, your family, and garden are doing well.

[@idolidiabrito2021]

I love your videos, but I don't speak English very well, I can't understand everything, but your voice is beautiful!! Thank you so much

[@BTBSteve]

one of my favorites!

[@Yeshuaschosen]

After I took some cuttings from a plant in Roderfield WV I have a patch of them growing myself.What I find amazing is that they're pollinated by Insects.

[@sn232]

Did you take your cuttings and root in water first then how did you plant them?

[@Yeshuaschosen]

@@sn232 I took cuttings and put them is a pan of sandy soil and put them in a shady spot for a year.They were struggling to survive so I tossed them over the hill dirt and all and they lived LOl I have them growing all over the place now.The birds have scattered the seeds!LOL

[@sn232]

@@Yeshuaschosen Thank you! I did not know if you had to root them in water first or not :)

[@nj1639]

Found a patch of them out on my ridge, south-east Indiana.

[@wompbozer3939]

How are they doing now? Have they taken over the area?

[@nj1639]

@@wompbozer3939 They're doing fine, self contained so far.

[@wompbozer3939]

Awesome thanks

[@juliecostello42]

I've seen this before and always wondered what this was. A lot of this grows in upstate NY.

[@lejardinquisemange9126]

Not sure that these berries do not spread by root. I have tiny sprouts growing about 20cm from the main plants. The color is also a bit different: more light green. All the ones I have seen here in France are the same color.

[@blujeans9462]

I thought wine berry's had white under the leaves. I did not see that with his. What are the ones with red stalks and white under the leaves? One of those popped up this year and I wasn't sure whether to cut it down - as I heard they were invasive in the northeast. I'll keep it one more year: no fruit, out it goes.

[@crittercosner2877]

It grows here in Preston County W.V. and I'm roughly a half hour drive from both the Pennsylvania and Maryland state lines, so I assume it grows in those states as well. Always thought it was Red Raspberry, but it looked a little odd and out of place.

[@kooliokrispy1365]

We've got em in virginia all along the roads. Delicious.

[@JustPlainDeb]

It’s in southern Virginia too

[@farmerchick3040]

These are my favorite berries. They grow wild everywhere in my town including 1 in my garden. I'm gonna leave it. I was thinking of creating a living fence

[@dylaneggleston71]

3:01 such astonishing trichomes

[@MsHojat]

Yeah it's really pretty. It looks like the trichome-type of carnivorous plants.

[@williamhampl2919]

Trichy🏄

[@marthabenner6528]

About how far do you trim these back? I was wanting to know if I trim them back for the winter if it would ruin them.

[@truthinesssss]

Very informative, thank you!

[@WayOffTheTrail]

Looks a lot like Loganberries we used to find in WV.

[@gregallen3980]

Grows in middle Tennessee also.

[@deborahqtpie4629]

We have it in SW VA.

[@jamiewalker8071]

Yes, im in sw va also. I've never noticed them anywhere else in the area before(probably b/c i want paying attention)but there's a patch of them growing across the rd. Think I'll get some cuttings & see what happens. I can't believe the deer don't eat them.

[@MeandYouHello]

Thank you for this video

[@donnasmigle4464]

tons in baltimore co. md

[@sistalinda]

I've seen them all over central Jersey.

[@johnstonj92]

How is the flavour in comparrison to other rubus fruits is it like thimbleberry or rasberry ?

[@unknownawakening6507]

Sowing for the future it's a lot sweeter very hard to find a sour one

[@kooliokrispy1365]

Another difference from a raspberry is that it's very shiny. It doesn't have the fuzzy texture of raspberry. Very smooth. They're about to bloom here in VA shortly, pretty excited.

[@twitchy5710]

My Rubus phoenicolacius has definitely spread from rhizomes, I trim them back to keep them off the trail and they spread through the soil for sure.

[@vonhar1062]

I see it in the Bronx

[@hanzketchup859]

Cheers Men !

[@mslinny144]

I was happy when I first saw some years ago. But it is terribly invasive in my area. It has outcompeted the native blackberries and I hardly find them anymore.

[@RIOT690]

I have a whole entire bowl of them

[@Newtimer49er]

I believe this is what's growing here in east tn and i've mistaken it for raspberry's

[@MrVenturadog]

Sounds good where do I get me some?

[@dirtywhitehorse]

I sell them on line

[@DIEGhostfish]

Not as good as real raspberries. But still quite nice.

[@towerofflamingo3932]

Can they kill you if you eat them

[@towerofflamingo3932]

Thank you

[@sofakingwetodddid1685]

I wouldnt of thought so, maybe get a sour one now and again but mines not fruits yet so dont know for sure.

[@sofakingwetodddid1685]

Fruited

[@AnoNymous-ph4cd]

Only if you eat the branch along with it
