These grow like weeds here in NW Ohio. Every tree line or creek line has large patches. We gather the raspberries by 10’s of pounds. They are a firm berry compared to garden red raspberries and hold up well after picking good for freezing aswell. Have a Range from tart to very sweet. Only Down fall is very seedy
I have about 2 yards of them but i had no idea i cut them During winter. Now they have berries. But my husband spray them with Poison oak killer. Poison oak died but not the berries!!! But not sure if they are safe to eat now. 😂
They berry only on last years new growth (the purple canes). Last years fruiting cane will die of over winter leaving only the new growth from last year. Berry ripens in mid June here in NW Ohio. I have a dedicated 10x10ft garden of wild raspberries plants I maintain Tip: With any raspberry once the plant is done with berries i cut those canes off and remove them this leaves room for the new canes that will berry out next year to grow. I also cut off and tip the new growth canes over the summer when they reach 4ft tall this cause the plant to grow side branches. These side branches increases the number of berries. Instead one one long thin cane of berries you get a thick short cane and several branches of berries doubling or tripling the berries
Last year, they grow new shoots called primocanes. The primocanes does not produce any berries. Then they go through winter dormancy. As they emerge from dormancy, the primocanes have turned woody and is now called floricanes. "Flor" for flowers. And when early to mid summer hit is when you get the berries. Mostly late June and early July. And oh yeah. There is some everbearing varieties called Niwot and Sweet Repeat. Both thorned varieties. You get 2 crops per year. And there's at least 2 thornless varieties called "Tahi" and "Born Free."
Love black raspberries! Good foraging video! I love scouting out berries too

I have a question, how do you know when they are going to start producing berries?
