The organically grown Japanese wineberry (Rubus phoenicolasius) is from the same family as blackberries and raspberries. The bush is easy to grow and produces many unbelievably tasty fruits. The berries ripen from mid-July to late August. Not all of the fruit will ripen at the same time. Growing wineberries is just like growing raspberries.

If you buy deciduous shrubs in autumn they might not be looking quite as beautiful as usual. The big benefit of planting shrubs in autumn is that by spring they will be well rooted in the garden and ready to burst into growth.
