Glad you are having a good year. The dew berries here are huge compared to the black berries. The dew berries and blackberries we have are mostly wild natives.

Whenever they spring up, we put a chicken wire circle around them so they don’t get mowed over till they get well established. Then we put a brick or rock circle around them.

The larger patches have metal hoops that we use to keep the netting from tangling in the bushes.

Dew berries were puny this year, just not enough water. I think we had only a bit over 2 inch YTD by June 1. Fortunately we have had a wet June (by our standards) but native stuff didn’t do well.
