Backyard Berries

Delicious berries for the backyard! Diggers have a number of varieties suited for the backyard gardener that will keep you satiated throughout summer!

PLEASE NOTE: Many berry crops, such as blueberries and cane berries, are dormant during winter. Any plants sold from May through until September may be dormant during this time, but these plants will be ready to greet the warming weather of spring with lush new growth, readily establishing in your garden from spring through summer and autumn.

This large-fruited variety from North America is high in Vitamin C and antioxidants. Traditionally found in open bogs and swamps, cranberries love a moist position in full sun. A wiry ground cover with pale pink flowers followed by wine-red berries. Plants reach full production in 3-5 years.
