NW Washington | You are on the mark. It takes a long time for them to bear very much fruit. Pruning is pretty simply, especially the first few years. There are a bunch of varieties available, some big, some small and different fruiting times. Once they get established they are pretty trouble free and you don't have to worry about a lot of bug or diseases. They can be used as "edible landscaping" plants as they bloom in the spring and turn a nice red color in the fall. Google will find you a ton of info on growing them.
I have three or four bushes that bear so well that I get tired of picking them. And they are easy to freeze and keep well. And they are good for you. I do have drip irrigation on them as it gets dry during the summers in our area. | |
