Millers?
anyone buy from Millers? i'm looking mostly at berries (raspberries
for the NH farm & currents for NY). my dad bought berries mailorder from someplace & all he got was a bunch of cuttings with no indication of even top or bottom (out of a bundle of 25, 5 or 6 rooted but never did much). i'm not wanting to waste a lot of money and time on something like that. lee |

I've had no problems, you might like the fallgold raspberry, it's done well for me . I've dealt with them in the past too. Mostly for apples no troubles. I prefer one crop type like Latham raspberry which are easy to root propagate an older variety one croper. May have disease issues though. Grew Heritage, Fall Gold and a black. The black tip roots and became a nasty weed. BTW Neighbors may have some in need of cutting/digging back. http://www.raspberries.us/varieties.htm Bill -- Garden in shade zone 5 S Jersey USA |

: Grew Heritage, Fall Gold and a black. The black tip roots and became a nasty weed. i have lot of really nice black raspberries spread around my yard by the chickens from a plant that used to grow by the former lambing pen fence. yes, they certainly do love to root from the tips! i try to keep them trimmed so they don't root where i don't want them spreading. i'm thinking of trying the Fall Gold. i haven't had any of those. it's the closest commercial thing i've seen to a white raspberry that was growing wild near Sodus NY. those were very good & the birds completely ignored them. i wish i'd taken some cuttings. i'm interested in growing raspberries in a hoop house. in theory, if the bushes aren't getting rained on while the fruit is ripening, they hold better on the bush. less disease issues, too. lee |
