It could, but I know that's not the case - the trees were loaded with fruits last year, so this year they hardly flowered at all. I have other apple varieties that have lots of fruit this year.
I pruned my gooseberries and some of my currants last year so those only have very few berries. But I have two white currants, one pink one and several red ones that had unbeivably big berries in clusters - some of them more than 15cm long. I've never seen anything like that ever before. I need to propagate me some more of those. And my olldest blueberries decided, that this year is the year to produce more than a handfull of berries. i planted them right before the "heatwave years" - in spring 2018. In what was then still bad soil - and no amendments to lower the PH or any such nonsens. And I basically never waterd them. They.Taste.AWESOME! There is no such thing as "too many berry bushes" 😍 So, blueberries - propagating from cuttings? Or stool layering? And I think I cand still find some spots to squeeze in some black berries 😂
Hi Martina :) That sounds amazing - I totally agree with you, there is no way to have too many berry bushes! I have no experience with propagation of blueberries since they refuse to grow in my heavy clay soil, but I should think both methods work - and it's always worth a try
@@inspiratoriet96 i have clay soil, too. As described, they took their time to start to grow and fruit. The only thing I did, was "hide" them in herbacious perennials and mulch, mulch, mulch.
@@MartinaSchoppe I have thought about it - a lot - but I have nowhere to house them....and I am an introvert, so it also feels a little daunting to have people in the garden all the time :)
I can't get enough of your videos. I love seing your garden updates. Truly inspirational
@@barbrahnakamanya6866 thank you Barbrah, that's really kind of you to say 😊

@@barbrahnakamanya6866 Thank you Barbrah 😊 you can never have too many berries! I love the feelung of a full freezer for the winter months 🙏
The apple trees 'taking a break' is not what's happening, it usually means a lack of specific pollinators..

@@inspiratoriet96 It's called alternation. This person is just frustrated and jealous. You have a beautiful thriving foodforest.
