Which berries can be grown in shade?

Most berries need some sun to do well, but a few will cope with part-shade including Chilean guava, gooseberries, cranberries, and lingonberries.

Can you grow berries in containers?

The dwarf Blackberry ‘Opal’ is perfect for a container, and ‘Black Cascade’ is a compact variety that’s ideal for a hanging basket. Other berry fruits that can be container-grown are Mulberry ‘Charlotte Russe’, Chilean Guava, cranberries, lingonberries and Goji berries.

Are gooseberries easy to grow?

Gooseberries are one of the easiest fruits to grow, needing little beyond watering if the weather is hot, and pruning once a year. Have a look at our fruit growing masterclass for more advice – it’s packed with expert tips.
