Hi,

I have some space in my yard where I would like to grow berries. I have
found out that that blackberries is what most likely would be able to
tolerate the heat, but I do not know what variety to get. I would like
something that isn’t to prone to disease and which can take the heat of
course. If there are other berries I could do please let me know. What is
most important is that what I get is low maintenance and suited for the
climate.

Thanks!

Southern Dewberry (Rubus trivialis)- Dewberries don't bear as heavily as
named blackberry cultivars but the drought/insect resistance of this
common "bramble" are generally superior. The flavor has terrific
sweet/tart balance with an appealing musky "wildness".

Thanks! Dewberries sounds like something I could try. I am from
Scandinavia and remember how much better the wild raspberries tasted than
the cultivated ones we had in our yard, It sounds like Dewberries have the
same “wild flavor� compared to cultivated Blackberries. How would I go
about getting hold of some plants here in the Austin area? Is this
something a nursery around here would normally stock?

Hi Sede,
Well, I have seen blackberries out back go crazy and out of control via
runners. I thin they are blackberries. They seem to be taking over and have
spread low to the ground dozens of feet in a couple years.

Oh yes! I saw the thorny things everywhere this last weekend. I have
a backyard wildlife habitat, so the birds will love this, but I cannot
have them taking over.

Find the same problem with my 1-1/2 acres. I can only
manage to maintain about 1/3 of it. At least the other 2/3
is mostly wooded. :-)

Jangchub is modest. Backyard Wildlife Habitat certification is a real TPWD
program and entails quite a bit more than just "not maintaining" it. It can
be some real work in and of itself. Details he
