Title: Fruit
Post by: reddyreddy on March 20, 2009, 17:41:38
hello, newbie question here!

I am planting a fruit patch on my plot:

gooseberry
loganberry
raspberry
grape

obviously the grape needs something to climb up, but what about the rest?  ??? ???

Gooseberries are free standing, unless you want a fan...
Loganberries need some wire to be tied to, or evey time the shoots touch they will root down like brambles.
Rasps, depends. Summer ones like a post at each end of the row and wires between. Autumn ones are usually free standing unless it is very windy on your site...
