Berry plants provide foliage and food in different zones around the country. Berries include strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries. You can also find berries that grow on trees like mulberries, serviceberries, and huckleberries grown in the wild.
Raspberries and blueberries grow in zones from 2 or 3 to 7, and strawberries and blackberries prefer zones 3 to 10 or 5 to 10
If you live in icy areas, you can grow berries in containers and bring them in during colder months. On the other side, cultivars of raspberries and blueberries grow in water zones like Southern California.
Berries generally like full sun and prefer mildly acidic soil. Raspberries ramble and may need to be grown on a trellis. Strawberries are compact and can grow in containers or small patches in your garden. If you love blackberries, these berries come in trailing and erect plants and grow tons of fruit. Blueberries are great if you want to treat birds and need protection if you want to eat the berries yourself.
