Blackberries, Boysenberries and Elderberries
Spring 2008 shipping has ended. Now taking preorders for Fall 2008 shipping.

Homegrown backberries are well worth the effort. The fruit are always in short supply in the markets, and wild patchs are quickly disappearing
to urban sprawl. Most of the varieties we grow are bred for their size, production, and excellent fresh flavor. In the landscape they make great hedges
and backdrops for the flower border. All blackberries are self-pollinating.
