Think the dark fella is a keeper. Lovely patterns.

Chappy in the middle here is also a contender. Perhaps we will try to keep him anyway. He is a lovely singer, although they are all quite quiet at the moment.

He exhibits a classic three tone call with a shrill, but with extra cuteness and a softness to the tonality.

Fingers crossed that the English whites are actually female.

Hope the Pharoah is too . . . Pumped to have the genes around anywayβ€”they are the only one of that phenotyoe who hatched. πŸ™ƒ

Lovely pics. We had access to a wild blackberry patch that was about 42 yards long. Yesterday the government destroyed it. Someone who isn't me might just plant 21 new patches. πŸ™ƒ

Chickens might say "buck", but they are actually a very satsflow-positive animal. #birdstr

A little bit on the growth and fruiting habit of red raspberries and #propagation in the plant #nursery...

Here we see a raspberry plant I have for sale. It's variety is Prelude and its first fruits will ripen in 3-4 weeks. This plant retails for $10.

If you look closely you will see 2 kinds of canes: The 2 older looking, taller, darker canes, and then a small plant that looks like it's sprouting from the base.

Those canes are from last year are called the "floricanes", and will bear this year's fruit. It's forming now, here's a zoomed in picture.

The canes from this year are the "primocanes". They will grow this year and will become floricanes next year. Here is a different angle so you can see the primocane forming at the base:

The plant spreads underground and will pop up new primocanes further and further from the parent plant. Some of my patches now are 20' long and thick with plants produced by only 3 parent plants. after about 4 or 5 years.

To propagate this type of raspberry, in the spring, I will dig up the plant around the floricanes coming into their second year and pot them up. The root base from that plant will then send out roots which will sprout into primocanes and continue the plant.

You may also see "bare root" raspberries, those are plants that have been dug up as I describe and sold prior to the plant putting on any growth. They are cheaper, but, as some of my customers have mentioned, when you get them, they "look like sticks" and so are not as attractive for retail customers.
