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!

Interested in planting your Covid-19 Victory Garden? Plum Granny Farm is happy to help! We'll be holding our 7th annual Spring Plant Sale the first weekend in May. Four terrific days to find those perfect plants for your own Victory Garden – Friday, May 1 (10-4), Saturday, May 2 (10-4), Sunday, May 3 (1-4) and Monday, May 4 (10-3).
On Friday and Saturday, we will reserve the first 2 hours of the plant sale to seniors and those at-risk. We will also have procedures in place to ensure adequate social distancing such as limiting the number of people in the greenhouse at any time, asking visitors to bring and wear masks and maintaining 6' spacing in checkout lines, etc. Other preventive measures will be in place as well for hand sanitation, etc.
Hundreds of plants will be available! For a complete list, please click here.
