A black raspberry plant I think I received as a freebie ended up being my most flavorful berry. Will definitely be buying all 3 black raspberries from millers this autumn

First year in the ground- (was in pot last year)

Flavor when dead ripe- 8.5/10

Productivity- Too early to judge- decent amount of small berries this year.

Berry Size- small

Unfortunately, I was always too impatient to eat the ripe berries so I dont have any pics of when the berries were ripe- here is a pic of the berries 2 weeks prior to ripening

Cavendish strawberry

second year in the ground-

Flavor when dead ripe- 6/10- pretty tart but not in a flavorful way

Productivity- 7/10

Berry Size- medium.

I ripped up the bed a couple of weeks ago- I dont think it justifies the space.
