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.
Boysenberry's exact parentage of this hybrid is not known but it probably has blackberry, raspberry and loganberry blood in it. The fruit is dark wine in colour and not too seedy. It is more delicious than the loganberry and has a more tender plug or core. It usually takes eighteen months before it starts to grow vigorously but, once the roots get a hold, very strong canes are heavy crops of fruits on long spurs, these being well away from the cane are easy to pick. The boysenberry is very hardy and extremely resistant to drought. Plant the canes 12 feet apart.
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.
Clean cultivation is usually practised for the first year but after that a straw or sedge peat mulching can be given. Little pruning is done until the third year when some of the older wood is cut out. The blueberry produces fruit on the previous season's growth. Varieties which are said to have succeeded well on Exmoor are Rubel, Jersey, Burlington and Pemberton. Rubel sets satisfactorily without having to be interplanted with a pollinator.
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.
