A great list! Bushes are so undervalued. You can get so much production out of them. I'm a huge fan of haskaps and currants because they are just bulletproof here, and very healthy.

Your videos are giving me life, because of your no nonsense approach and perspective. Seriously, thank you for making these videos!

Wonderful information! I would love to have cuttings of these plants but hard to find. In zone 7. Any ideas? Blessings :)

I really love your videos, your garden inspired me to start a permaculture food forest in my urban garden in a small town near Cologne, Germany. I've already planted 14 fruit and nut trees in 2 years and I will keep on planting....

Thank you for telling us right up front what zone you are in. So many youtubers do not do that and it's frustrating when they say "you can plant THIS right now in January" when, say, they are in Florida or some other vastly different agricultural zone. Giving that information from the start is very useful.

This is all great information! Very appreciated! Thank you.

Emphasis on the "shop carefully for saskatoons". A search yesterday uncovered lots of options for LARGE shrubs/small trees, but very few that emphasized fruit production!

This is my 2nd year growing gooseberry bush I have them in a large container happy growing from Maryland

As I have been learning about how to grow my own little orchard, I was disappointed to learn that growing currants and gooseberries in North Carolina is illegal. Thankfully I have learned lots from you Angela, and am learning that there are other options. Thank you.

LOVE black currants (have planted 5 varieties), like red and white ones too. Have all of your berries planted and literally just ordered a serviceberry = mind blown!

I am learning so much from you. I am taking a permaculture design course and watching your videos are helping to give form to what I am learning. Thank you!

Thanks!

My top 3 are bush cherries, jostaberries / currants and haskap. Blueberries don't really work here (too much sun + alkaline soil). I've had better luck with currants here than gooseberries (lost a couple of my black velvet gooseberries). Native currants are really robust, durable plants. Jostaberries are crazy vigorous, give them quite a bit of room. Our serviceberries are too young to fruit, but I think they'll be a nice option to add to a lot of landscapes. We have both Amelanchier alnifolia and Amelanchier utahensis (both spaced in the yard for tree size). Utahensis is supposed to be pretty drought tolerant, but slow growing.

Thank you for the education on these wonderful fruit shrub recommendations for fruit forest design.

Thanks for this video. I'm getting ready for figuring out my bushes and trees.

I am so happy to have found you! I am learning so much, thank you! Fairly new to the Central Willamette Valley from NW MT. Very different growing conditions!

Great ideas, thanks. I am adding more currants and haskaps this year. Now I know of a good service berry I can add next year too.

Wonderful- I have all of these except the Saskatoonberry coming next spring to start my food forest. It was probably in my cart at some point but didn't make the cut this time around. I appreciate the variety recommendation. Thanks!

I love your videos! I'm just roughly 100 miles North of you and I find all your advice very helpful. Thanks!

I’m impressed with Josta berry I planted in my back garden last year. Vigorous grower this year laden with berry buds. (Kent, England)

I used to have one but found it had tremendous hybrid vigor and was just an immense shrub compared to my black currants, so we took it out. I did really like the fruit, though!

My girlfriend might be going to med school in Oregon and if we move there it would be really exciting as permaculture is more popular there. And maybe if you ever do tours one day I can come check it out!

Last year I managed to taste the june berry for first time. It was so delicious and the birds are normally faster than me.

Very informative video. I grew a lone blueberry plant( Emerald) in Florida that produced a lot of berries without another blueberry nearby. I'm interested in the serviceberry as a fruiting shrub for my area of eastern Tenn. Thanks so much for your very helpful videos!

Going through your back catalogue, really enjoying your content. Can you share some resources you use to research plants when you’re thinking of adding them to your garden, please?

If you live where there is cedar-apple rust, be prepared to spray serviceberries with the same fungicide you need for apple trees. (Copper sulfide is organic fungicide).

I put LOTS of used coffee grounds around my blueberries!

Just liked and subscribed! Great video(s)! I live in colorado zone 5b/6a. I would love to make a portion of my front yard into a food forest primarily consisting of berries. I already ordered my tillamook Goumi berries, but would also like to add grape vines, elderberry, service berry, and honeyberry (I got the idea from watching your videos lol 😂). Would there be any way I could send you some pictures of my landscape, and you could help me design the best placement for the plants?! TIA!

I’d like list videos within-species, if there’s any kind of plant you collect it would be like “favorite strawberry varieties.”

I’ll look into the northline/cultivated serviceberry varieties (only ever seen landscape/large plants of those). Especially since currants/ribes are illegal in NC :(

oof, good point. I always forget to mention that European currants are still illegal in some states. Thanks for the reminder!

Do you have any videos on figs? I know they grow well here

Regarding the haskaps, do they require a certain number of chill hours? I have not been successful researching exactly why they are not supposed to be successful in my zone (9b) but got some to experiment with anyway. Thoughts on what their requirements are that limit them from expanding into zone 9? Thanks!

My problem with the ribes, besides the worms, is dealing with the tops and tails.

Do you think a serviceberry would work as a central plant in a guild?

Wow so you juneberries are in full sun? Maybe I need to get northline. Mine's leaves get really crispy really fast, even with supplemental water. Maybe my soil is just bad 😔. Would you recommend any kind of living mulch for these? Or are they like blueberries in that they don't want any cultivation around the base?

I fantasize about finding a wild currant on my property, because it's likely the only way I'll be able to have one.

kzread.info/dash/bejne/gY6dwbazery_Zqg.html. I am not remembering if the weevils are discussed on this video of Angela's, but it is worth a look-see.

I got my saskatoon from the native plant section, with no variety name so I wonder what I'm going to get. I wonder how they take to grafting, maybe you could graft better fruiting varieties onto a plant that doesn't taste as good? I planted mine after coming across one in the wild at a state park. Stupid me I thought it was a huckleberry until I tasted it; but I shocked at how good it was, fruity/nutty at the same time -- so I went out and got one immediately. But yeah, I wonder where the nursery stock was from.

If you're worried about survival, you can protect them for the first couple years. We had a bit of rabbit damage on ours the first couple years, but now that the shrubs are a bit bigger, the rabbits seem to be less interested (a couple canes disappear here and there, but not too bad). 'Resistant' is never 'proof' too a hungry animal.

I have a well-established Northline juneberry, approximately 7 years in ground, that blooms beautifully every spring...but the berries dry up instead of ripening. Never eaten a single one, sadly. I believe I've sited it well, so I'm mystified--any suggestions appreciated. In contrast, blueberries, haskaps, and clove currants are highly productive here. New England 5b.
