The marionberry (Rubus L. subgenus Rubus) is a cultivar of blackberry released in 1956 by the USDA Agricultural Research Service breeding program in cooperation with Oregon State University. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It is named after Marion County, Oregon , where the berry was bred and tested extensively in the mid-20th century.
The term "cane fruit" or "cane berry" applies to any Rubus species or hybrid which is commonly grown with supports such as wires or canes, including raspberries, blackberries, and hybrids such as loganberry, boysenberry, marionberry and tayberry. [7] The stems of such plants are also referred to as canes.
Boysenberries grow on low, trailing plants. [3] It is a large aggregate fruit with a deep maroon color, weighing 8 grams (0.28 oz) and containing large seeds. [3] [4] The fruits are characterized by their soft texture, thin skins, and sweet-tart flavor. Mature fruits leak juice very easily and can start to decay within a few days of harvest. [3]
The Green Planet is a 2022 British nature documentary series on plants and their relationship with animals, humans and the environment. It was a co-commission from the BBC and PBS and produced by the BBC Studios Natural History Unit in co-production with Open University, CCTV-9, Bilibili, ZDF, France Télévisions and NHK. [1]
The plant has a growth habit similar to that of the blackberry. Fruits grow on short laterals on prickly canes 1.8 to 2.1 m (6 to 7 ft) long. [2] The cropping period is long, from early mid- to late-summer. Having a strong flavor, the tayberry is less acidic than the loganberry. [2]
The berries of A. chilensis are collected from wild plants from December to March of each year by families, mainly Mapuche, who collect their harvest near the Andes Mountains. The harvesting process involves collecting the side branches of trees, shaking them to separate the berries and leaves from the branches, and then employing a mechanical ...
Loganberry plants are sturdy and more disease- and frost-resistant than many other berries. However, they are not very popular with commercial growers due to several problems which increase labor costs, since the plants tend to be thorny and the berries are often hidden by the leaves.
Rubus ursinus is a wide, mounding shrub or vine, growing to 0.61–1.52 metres (2–5 feet) high, and more than 1.8 m (6 ft) wide. [3] The prickly branches can take root if they touch soil, thus enabling the plant to spread vegetatively and form larger clonal colonies.
