Put in two plants last spring and got a handful of berries every other day all late June through early October! It came back nice and healthy this year and I’m excited for berry season. It does get eaten up by bugs, but spiders and some pesticides take care of it easily. It also shoots off suckers that can be propagated into new plants or I left some along the base of my berry trellis.
