Blackberry
Blackberries (Rubus canadensis) are amazing to eat fresh from the bush or made into jams or pies.
Blueberries are said to be full of antioxidants that improve your health. A diet high in blueberries is even claimed to counteract the effects of aging. While some gardeners will grow blueberries because of these health-giving properties, most are likely to just want them because they taste so good.
Blueberries make wonderful pot plants – if you choose the right type! Look for a dwarf variety, such as Blueberry Burst, which only grows 1m high and 75cm wide.
Depending on the variety you buy, you may need two plants for pollination and fruit production. If you don’t have the space, consider self-pollinating varieties such as Blueberry Burst or Biloxi.
