People say good fences make for good neighbours.
What better fence than a raspberry hedge?
Mature perennial plants increase your property value, make you more likely to survive famines and it's wonderful for your morale. You get to see beautiful greener, flowers and then colourful fruit that taste amazing and nourish you far more than anything you'd get at Walmart or whatever.

You know it's important by the number of glowies who invade these threads to dissuade you from doing it.

>>511003962 (OP)
They're invasive as fuck. Once they set roots, they're gonna spread like a fucking wildfire, and are almost impossible to get rid of, since they go extremely deep.

>>511003962 (OP)

That is a beautiful fence idea! And the neighbors would sure love it too. :)

>>511004108
It depends on the variety. The red ones are very invasive, but the black and purple ones less so.
>>511004206
>You eat the ones that grow on your side!

>>511004226
Still a menace that spreads like a wildfire. Here in Denmark, we use privet hedges. I have a 2m tall on around my entire garden.

>>511003962 (OP)
Only one man would dare give me the raspberry

>>511004328
>Privet
This one is actually listed as invasive where I live, lol.

>>511004399
Kek. Wtf. They grow a lot during summer, but easy to cut down. I like the fact that it's just a green wall, providing lots of privacy. I cut it once a year. No big deal. Takes a couple of hours.

>>511003962 (OP)
Damn woodchuck keeps coming over for a snack.

>>511003962 (OP)
Raspberries are a fucking weed.

>>511004975
Again, it depends on the variety. Purple ones aren't considered very invasive.

>>511004226

Indeed! And the kids would sure love it. ^^

Fuck that Tayberry all the way, although I got some Haskap berries too.

>>511005221
>Tayberry
Still a rubus, though.

Haskaps are so good.
I got some yezberries. Better than blueberries, IMO.

>>511005221
>Tayberry
Redpill?

>>511005342
It's one of the many, MANY different rubus hybrids. In this case, it's rubus fruticosus (European blackberry) and rubus idaeus (European red raspberry). The royalty purple raspberries are also a similar hybrid, but of different cultivars.

>>511005499
Thanks. Easy to grow?

>>511005581
It depends on what hardiness zone you're in, but yes. It's one of the easiest plants to grow.
You'll often get a very small harvest the second year after planting, a reasonable one the third year and then huge ones from thereon.
If possible, you should try planting multiple varieties so that they pollinate each other, thereby producing larger harvests. You can also get multiple sets that flower and fruit at different times, so you can have a section that is your "early" raspberries and then a section for your "late" raspberries.

If you don't like thorns, I strongly recommend thimbleberry. They're super cute and an explosion of flavour.

>>511003962 (OP)
Blackberry hedges will strip the skin right off your ass and make good fences. Same thing? BTW you'll never get rid of them, unless you poison the roots with bleach.

>>511005771
>BTW you'll never get rid of them
Feature, not a bug.

>im going to survive a famine on raspberries
is there anything more pathetic than tradlarpers

>>511005896
They dehydrate well and everyone loves raspberry preserves. The added calories can make a huge difference in famine and you can always use it to barter for what you're lacking.

>>511005771
>>Blackberry hedges will strip the skin right off your ass.
And then come the wasps.

>>511006021
Wasps eat pests. They are good bugs.

>>511005771
You convinced me. I'm buying black berry seeds.

>>511006055
They sure do love blackberry bushes though.

Himalayan blackberries are the worst invasive plants here in PNW. They will devour acres and are nearly impossible to remove. Red raspberries do spread some but are manageable and are delicious.

>>511006055
They are unnecessarily aggressive. I hate them, no matter how many pests they eat. I always have a cheap deodorant spray with me whenever I'm in the garden. It's good against wasps. They hate perfume.

>>511006311
If you know where their nest is, you can learn what their flight path in and out of the nest has to be. If Godzilla was standing in the way of your airport runway, you might find that annoying.

>>511006292
I hear terrifying things about Russian Goji for similar reasons, makes me want to plant it.

>>511006406
Goji are super tasty, but it's not fucking possible for me to justify paying the crazy prices people ask for the fruit. Seriously considering planting some.

So youre just going to grow free food for niggers right by where your wife and kids sleep?

>>511006506
Poking around in someone's garden is a good way to disappear forever.

>>511006402
It's not that bad. Not like there's a wasp invasion. If I'm in my garden, there's maybe a wasp every hour or so. Half of them just fly away, but the other half are looking for trouble, and then they get some deo and fly away. Then they can tell their nigger wasp friends that you don't get away with being an asshole wasp in my garden.

Consider the artichoke/nasturtium fence
All aphids will die and you will summon 1000000 ladybugs who will breed on the plants and it basically vacuums any aphids from your actual garden
Also even the larvae who are born on the leaves nom aphids its peak

>>511006745
Got any suggestions for Japanese beetles other than spraying them with soapy water?

Blackberry brambles are nature's barbed wire. Grows fast and taller than a man when mature, with half-inch thick vines full of thorns. Better than a fence for keeping out trespassers. Also makes for a nice home for all kinds of birds cause the cats can't get at them if they nest in the brambles.

I prefer raspberries desu but blackberry bushes are bigger and meaner. Granted you will have to fight them from taking over your property.

>>511003962 (OP)
I’ve got your raspberry hedge right here.
>prolapses anus

>>511006792
Grow rhubarb and trim the leaves then mash them and let them soak in a diluted solution of alcohol and water to pull out (i do and initial soak of 750ml of alcohol and dilute it with 10 lit of water) oxalic acid and occasionally spray on your plants
Basically nukes mosts bugs because it's neurotoxic to them
Its my go to for dealing with pests

>>511006560
In the US? No, not really. In my city if you say the race of your suspect is black 911 will tell you they can't chase after them, so shooting them will definitely land you in jail while they ruin your family's lives and try to rape your daughter and wife while your in jail.

>>511007154
In Canada, the saying everyone uses is the 3S's.
>Shoot
>Shovel
>Shut up

This is why Canadians are "polite".

>>511005771
>BTW you'll never get rid of them, unless you poison the roots with bleach.
You don't have to go that far, but the alternative is basically a long, drawn out siege against the plant. It doesn't die easily.

>>511006001
you arent teaching me anything faggot. you are not going to live on berries.

>>511008311
It will, at the very least, make the rest of my diet less bland during hard times.
Would you rather eat plain oatmeal or oatmeal with dehydrated berries in it?

>>511008311
There's twigs as well bud. After raiding a while it'll be a wonderful reprieve from all that Haitian meat. Tastes like cat anyway.

>>511005748
Thanks fren. Im going to look into getting one of these plants . Did you start from seed or buy a small bush and plant?

>not prunus lauro the official hedge of /pol/

>>511003962 (OP)
I'm currently converting a tree into a raspberry tree. It'll look and function great when it's done.

>>511010402
I mostly buy plants in pots.
It's important to note that not all plants grow "true to seed", meaning that it might not be anything like its parent(s). For cases like that, we usually use grafting.

What can I grow in a NYC backyard?

>>511003962 (OP)
The jew HATES the self sustaining goyim

>>511013890
Lots of stuff! Blueberries, bilberries, cranberries, highbush cranberries (not actually related to blueberries and cranberries), strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, plums, cherries, apricots, honeyberries, kiwiberries, maypops, currants, gooseberries, grapes, wintergreen, saskatoons, goji, jujube, gumi, aronia, pawpaw and all sorts of other interesting fruits.

he fucking half jeet half jew couple that moved in next door convinced my father to let them build an illegal half-retarded fence on his property to fence in their retard fagget dog.

6% ofthe property is now blocked off by a fence going under he eves of the garage forever - say no to isreal, say no to inda,say n o to wok, say no to municiple property ordinance violations.

>>511014300
>6% ofthe property is now blocked off by a fence going under he eves of the garage
They took your property? That's fucking shitty.

>>511005748
How did you manage to pick those? They're super soft, I've never picked one without at least damaging it a little

>>511006984

>>511014506
Photo isn't mine. I've mostly had them while out hiking throughout my life. It's like stumbling upon candy in the middle of the forest. I've never had one survive more than a few seconds before being eaten, they're too good. A jam made of them would be absolutely heavenly.

>>511014601
They're not overly common here but where you find them, there's a lot of them. They don't fruit very heavily though so it'd be a real chore to actually manage enough for a batch of jam
I like the local blackcap raspberries better, but the birds usually get most of them

Today OP was not a faggot.
bump

>>511015112
If you want a really large production, there are some cultivars of blackberry that make fruit larger than your thumb.
If you have room for a tree, you could also go with mulberry (Please plant red ones if you live in the Americas).

>>511003962 (OP)
mmmmmm

>>511004108
They would be invasive in Denmark but not there in America and Canada. Here it's just indigenous

>>511016118
Yeah?
Well...
You're cool too, I guess.

Good thread. Not strictly related but I've got bindweed coming in from my neighbor's yard, what can I do? This shit is unstoppable

>>511014367
Tell them to remove the fence that is on your property.

>>511004108
Good. More raspberries for everyone to eat.

>>511016121
Why red ones? Aren't the black mulberries supposed to be tastier?

>>511016121
I'm considering hawthorn insofar as planting, plenty of feral blackberry already to suit my foraging habit

>>511004108
What kind of massive faggot would ever harm a raspberry bush? Are you even a human? It would be nice if they were so invasive and would spread across the earth, yet I haven't seen a single raspberry bush in the desert I live in.

>>511017130
Given enough water, they would. Although I find blackberries to be the more aggressive spreader

>>511003962 (OP)
Im planting fruit trees in the fall

>>511016948
The red ones are at risk and are the local variety.

>>511004108
oh noooo invasive delicious berries nooooo

I will reach 100 pounds of homegrown raspberries this year, so far I made 400$ selling them (~40 pounds so far).
One day I had 25 pounds in my fridge, all sold in one day.

>>511005221
Haskaps fruits early and the plant grow easily, it's nice.
Tayberries I heard that they are less tasty, is it true?
I could buy some but im in zone 4.

>>511005748
Thimbleberries are kind of dry and they don't fruit a lot, but as a kid it was a delicacy because of the rarety.

>>511005771
A single blackberry cane can reach 4 meters easily when grown in a good soil.
I have no thorn blackberries but the harvest is difficult, the ripe fruit looks almost identical to an unripe one, it requires a legendary forager to get the right ones only.

>>511006055
Yes but right now the fuckers started days ago eating my raspberries, cherries and blackberries, they do this every year but they eat ripe and super ripes ones.

>>511006200
Buy cultivars, clone them from roots of drageons; by growing from seed you play the genetic lottery and more than often you may lose by seeing a downgrade.
I have a blackberry patch that was grown that way, it's now an hybrid: very, very vigorous with 4 meters long canes but smaller speedier fruits, still tasty tough.

>>511006459
I have goji berries plants, they have sick spines and they have yet to fruit, I'm cloning more of them because it's a rare fruit.

(cont.)
>>511006560
I consider this an honor.
Until you break one of my plant or eat my rarest fruits, then it's war. I will throw my bees at you.


>>511016612
Aronia is an healthy plant, I recommend but people don't know about that fruit. Choose a good tasty cultivar, some are not tasty.

>>511016948
I have a black mulberry tree, it died back to the roots for.two.years but now it's doing great it's 1.5m high and large.

>>511018396
Good choice desu, I transplant my raspberries in fall,or in spring only if I know I will take the time to water.

>>511003962 (OP)
I have about 6 blackberry bushes on my property and they spread further out every year

>>511024299
Buy a cultivar, it's the same growth but the fruits are way better, nost years the wild ones are tasteless, but they do make great jelly.

>>511003962 (OP)
kek
throw some himalayan blackberry in there to really get the neighbors appreciation.
they are delicious

>>511005748
>If you don't like thorns,
Totally defeats the point. Very Canadian.

>>511024158
>I have goji berries plants, they have sick spines and they have yet to fruit, I'm cloning more of them because it's a rare fruit.
Clones pretty easy.
Temperamental in how it fruits here, pretty sure it's just too hot for it.
You think goji berry spines are bad, try gooseberry. Goji is positively polite comparatively

>>511024372
I bought a couple thornless varieties last year, bore some large berries this year, not nearly as much as the wild ones though

>>511016121
My mulberry trees piss me off. They drop fruit on my car and in my walkway. Not to mention the mulberry-colored bird shit. They're sweet, but have no flavor. But it's a nice tree and clearly a hardy and consistant source of sugar for dangerous times.

>>511004975
A weed is just a plant you don't want.

>>511024463
Gooseberries can't keep their leaves here, the japanese beetles and co destroy them, they are filled with fruits but almost out of leaves so I guess the harvests will suck; my neighbor gave me like 50 plants of them when he did a bit of cleaning in his patchs.
I grow some sub tropical and tropical plants, my tangelos citrus got long delay thorns of almost 2 inches tall, and my naranjillos (lulos) are filled with thorns from head to toes, even on their leaves it's sick and they fruited in my house in january and february in the middle of winter, it was awesome the fruits taste absolutely divine they call it the nectar of the gods.
