Worcester berry produces a large, very prickly bush like a gooseberry. The berries are very dark red in colour and they are not easy to pick because of the prickles. It has been grown as a hedge and then is planted 3 feet apart. If it is to be grown as a bush, it needs at least 6 feet. There are a number of hybrid berries which can be grown in a similar manner to blackberries or loganberries.
The idea is to cultivate the blueberry in a similar manner to the blackcurrant: the rows should be 8 feet apart and the bushes 4 feet apart in the rows. The fruit is picked once a week during August and. September when other soft fruits are over.
King's acre berry is a hybrid raised by crossing the blackberry and raspberry. It is picked earlier than the loganberry and the fruit comes away from the core easily, like a raspberry. It is like a long-shaped blackberry of excellent flavour. The canes are sturdy and bear heavy crops of fruit. Plant 8 feet apart.
Nectarberry is a seedling from the Youngberry. The fruits ripen two weeks before its parent and about four days after the first boysanberry. It crops far more heavily than the boysanberry and has a much longer season. There is no noticeable core and the seeds are on the soft side. It seems to do well in a drought and should be planted 8 feet apart.
Most people, however, allow some of the plants to scramble over the surface of the ground and thus they produce a heavy crop of runners for next year's planting and they treat the climbing strawberry as an annual.
Youngberry was raised by a nurseryman called Young of California who crossed the dewberry with the Phenomenal Berry. The fruit is dark red, almost black, large, juicy and with a minimum of seeds. It is easy to pick, for the berries arc carried on spurs well away from the canes which are not, incidentally, very thorny. Plant 7 feet apart.
