Plant Your Own Berry Orchard

Berry bushes can be used for a lot of landscaping ideas.  Berry bushes would make great hedges or borders and can serve as privacy fence and to produce wonderful fresh tasting fruits to enjoy.

There are several berry bushes that are available to create beautiful ideas.  Some of them are Gooseberry, Raspberry, Blueberry, Blackberry and Currants that come in red, black and white.  Berry bushes will bring lots of beauty to a lawn or garden and can also give wonderful fruits that can be transformed into wonderful jams and jellies.  They can also be used when baking those wonderful homemade pies and cakes and with fresh fruit they will always taste better.

Berry bushes will give lots of fruits if they are taken care of properly.  Old branches need to be removed regularly once fruit is finished growing on them.  Also it is a great idea to prepare the soil in which the bushes will be planted with organic material such as old leaves and mulch.  This will fertilize the bushes naturally and will help them grow to be healthy and produce a lot of fresh fruits.  Berry bushes will need to be fertilized each year with the organic materials.

Berry bushes will also add a beauty to lawns and gardens and they will be fun to just stand and eat the fresh fruits right off the bushes.  Blackberries and Blueberries are great to just eat freshly off the vine.  Another great idea when shopping for berry bushes is to spread them out and find ones that will grow and produce most of the year.  Plant them at different times and this will guarantee that fresh fruit will be available most of the year.

Also gardeners and homeowners will need to get as much information on planting and caring for the berry bushes.  Berry bushes will thrive and grow well when lighting and soil conditions are perfect and will produce a lot more fruit when properly taken care of.  Some berry bushes will also add beautiful colors during the fall months of the year to brighten and bring color to a landscape.

Berry bushes can also provide food for birds.  If for any reason the gardener or homeowner cannot pick the berries the birds will absolutely love them and will feast on them.  Some of the berries bushes will also keep other wildlife off of a lawn or out of a garden but will make beautiful hedges around properties or fences.
