Raspberry, Black – Thimbleberry – Heirloom Seeds – Non GMO (Rubus occidentalis)

(30 Seeds) Gardeners, rejoice! These are the best-tasting black raspberries you’ll find anywhere. They’re large, firm and gorgeous, and they taste great fresh, frozen or made into preserves. Vigorous, upright canes don’t require staking, and the plants are cold-hardy. Mid-summer bearing. Ripens in July. Self-pollinating. •Rubus occidentalis •Heirloom •Non-GMO •Origin: Canada •Perennial •USDA Zones: 3-8 Planting Instructions: By far the easiest method is to direct sow outdoors in the fall and let Mother Nature do it’s thing over the winter to break the dormancy. Sow at 1/4″ depth, 10 feet apart, and 3-4 seeds per plant. Keep moist, but not wet. INDOORS: Starting inside, raspberry is a long term, multiple stage process that needs BOTH scarification (soaking) and stratification (warm/cold treatment) to break the dormancy. Basically, we’re trying to replicate what occurs naturally in nature ( berries fall, rot, seeds warm over late summer and fall, go through the winter to break dormancy, and then germinate in the spring). It’s a long process, but one that we find is extremely rewarding. STAGE 1 – SCARIFICATION The slower, but safer and easier method is to soak the seeds in HOT (175F) water for 10 minutes, allow to cool and continue to soak at room temperature for 24 hours. The fastest method is to soak the seeds in sulfuric acid for 10 mins and then thoroughly rinse. The seeds are then ready for Stage 2. STAGE 2 – WARM STRATIFICATION After the soaking (scarification), the seeds will need to go through a warm period. In a plastic container or zip lock bag, fill it partially with peat moss. Next, put a layer of paper towel down on top of the peat moss and dampen it. Now, lay the seeds on top of that paper towel. Then add another layer of paper towel on top and dampen it. You’re basically making a seed sandwich…. •paper towel •seeds •paper towel •peat moss. Once that is complete, put the bag/container in a warm area (72-75°) for 60 days occasionally check it to make sure it remains moist. This video should clarify the technique except you won’t put it in the fridge at this point… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2XVXBqSWaI STAGE 3 – COLD STRATIFICATION After the warm stratification, we will move to a cold period to break the dormancy. Place the damp peat moss seed bag into the refrigerator for 60 days occasionally checking to make sure moss remains damp. Again, the same video shows this technique… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2XVXBqSWaI STAGE 4 – FINALLY READY TO SOW After that process (I know it’s long), sow seeds at 3-4 seeds per pot at 1/4″ depth with pH 5.2 to 5.14 mix and put pots in a warm, sunny area. Water regularly to ensure the soil is moist, but not wet. Allow 45 days to germinate. STAGE 5 – TRANSPLANT Congratulations!!! The seedlings can now be transplanted when they are a few inches tall after the threat of frost has passed. •FREE SHIPPING on all orders of $35 or more. •Flat Rate shipping no matter how many seeds you order. •Growing instructions included on each seed packet. *All information is provided for educational purposes only.

100+ WILD BLACK RASPBERRY SEEDS (Rubus occidentalis) 2023 seed

Wild Black Raspberry- (Rubus occidentalis) Hardy USDA Zone 4-7This wild black raspberry seed is from the year 2023, but there should still be some viable seed germinating. (If you would like this years new 2024 seed, please see my other black raspberry seed listing.) “Please read seed germinating information before ordering.” Germination rates can be erratic so will send at least 100 to 150 seeds. (Buyer must assume responsibility on orders to Puerto Rico and Hawaii, can not issue refunds if confiscated by customs authorities.) I try to keep shipping costs down by offering regular USPS First Class Mail or e-bay postage in an un-padded envelope.If ordering more than four items, USPS Ground Advantage will be included with tracking in a padded envelope. I try to ensure genetic diversity in the seed by collecting fruit from plants growing in full sun(smaller sweeter fruit) and also shady areas (larger juicer fruits.) I also try to select seed from plants which are growing well and appear to be free of disease. “Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.” Black raspberry’s can withstand higher summer temperatures and more humidity than red raspberry’s, but are less cold hardy. “Easy to grow once established” and require little care other than cutting out the older canes in spring if desired. Plants will spread once established by canes bending and taking root at the tips similar to a walking onion. The plants will not spread from underground root runners like red raspberries. They produce the best berry crop with adequate rain or watering. ——————————————————————— Seed Germination: The easiest way to germinate black raspberry seed is to plant the seed in summer or early fall and let nature do all the work for you. If you want to grow transplants or grow plants in pots see the following seed germinating information. Place seed in a damp sterile planting medium like paper towels, peat moss, clean sand or light aerated soil in planting pots with a light mulch to maintain moisture.Place the seed and planting medium in Ziploc bags or a glass jar leaving plastic bag or jar partially open to allow seed to breath.Keep seed damp at room temperature (60° to 70°F.) for 90 days being careful to watch for mold or mildew.Move seed to a cold place like a refrigerator or garage.Keep seed at (35° to 45°F.) for an additional 90 days.Plant seed 1/16″ to 1/8″ deep in pots or outdoors.Keep at around 50° to 60°F. Seed will germinate in 4-6 weeks. ———————————————————————Alternative seed treatment that may sometimes work: Soak seed in hot tap water, and let stand in water for 24 hours. Drain and place seed in damp medium like peat moss or a paper towel. Keep seed cold for 90 days.——————————————————————— A light mulch helps to prevent seeds from drying out. The seed germinates erratically and requires some patience on the part of the grower in order to be successful. In the wild seeds are distributed mostly by birds and wild animals. Black raspberry seed can survive in the soil for several years. Planting: Black raspberry plants are adaptable to many soil types but prefer a soil with good drainage high in organic matter and a pH of below 6.8. Plants can be spaced 1 1/2 to 3 feet apart in rows at least 5 feet apart to prevent plants from creating an impenetrable thorny hedge. Raspberry’s can also be planted at random similar to their natural growth habit in the wild. Expect plants to produce fruit 16 to 18 months after transplanting. Root cuttings or rooted cane tips can be taken from plants once established and replanted to create new raspberry plants. Plants can grow from 5 to 9 feet tall with good soil fertility. Can be grown in full sun but seem to grow best in partial shade. Mulching the plants will accelerate the growth rate and produce fruit earlier than unmulched plants. Uses: Black raspberries are good eaten fresh, but also make some of the best flavored jelly which is high in anthocyanins. Plants are attractive to wildlife which feed on the fruit and can provide cover for nesting birds. Flowers provide bees with nectar and pollen in the spring. (seed is wild collected and organically grown.)
