Growing Small Fruit Resources
North Carolina State University has some great information for small fruit growers. Check out these three portals for additional resources:
- The Southern Region Small Fruit Consortium
- Blackberry and Raspberry information
- Strawberry Growing information
Here are a few handouts that we have found helpful:
- Blackberries for the Home Garden
- Blackberry Pruning Guide
- Growing Blackberries in NC
- Strawberries for the Home Garden
- Oklahoma Cooperative Extension- Growing Strawberries in Home Garden
- Growing Raspberries in NC
- Pruning Brambles (University of Missouri)
Here is a copy of the slides from our 4/14/16 presentation at the Old Salem Museum & Gardens (Cultivating Jewels in the Garden).
Happy fruit-growing!
