My first raspberry cane

[897tgigvib]

Me gonna start crossing them!

Want to find the genes that are chromosome linked to know what is not possible, but...

Howbout a yellow boysenberry that grows all vigorous and deciduous?

Howbout a 4 colored Tayberry that picks like a raspberry?

until i find out which genes are linked on the same chromosome, and find out which ones are dominant, recessive, and basically codominant, i won't know what is possible or not.

Need the golden blackcap raspberry type to add to the collection. Hope i can get one at the nursery.

I figured you'd cross them, was curious what the goal was like your

Can anyone guess what I might start doing with the pollen?

Trying to make a blackcap yellow dewberry???

Some of those Dewberries are the biggest of all.

Today I did stop at my secret berry patch in the woods! I dug up a small one that looked tough, soil still moist, it was growing in packed red clay loan, so I got a bucket of that to mix in the composty soil mix of my garden, brought it home and planted it. This is the special one I mentioned earlier that makes about half sized blackberries and has the coolest deeply and sharply serrated leaves.

I did have my camera to photo those 2 trees that did a natural graft, but on my way in I passed a new large no trespassing sign, and then there were 2 more, one on each side of the trail...uuhmmm, that's 3 of them, and...knowing what part of the world this is, and what some folks do up in these hills...I kind of moseyed on out.

But I'm pretty sure there are also some unusual wild Roses up at that spot too, and I had another pot to get one, but alas...

We have several wild roses around here. One is actually very small, remains small and is almost entirely a die back perennial type. It's a miniature single light pink rose that puts out 2 or 3 flowers per year. Most definitely a Rose. Another is a thin caned light and short rambler, short lived perennial canes that makes a single 2 inch flower 2 toned mostly rosy pinkish red with a soft yellow middle part.

But the roses at this spot are strong cascading bushes with nice green healthy canes. I'm guessing they are not multi repeat bloomers because i've never seen them bloom but they make plenty of hips.
