Soft, Bush & Cane Fruits

A general term for any fruit that is not tree-like. They often crop quickly and produce soft fruits on herbaceous plants (strawberries), bushes (blueberries), canes (raspberries), and vines (grapes). Most grow naturally on woodland edges and thrive in moist humus-rich soils. The majority will grow and crop in minor shade, but full sun produces the maximum production and quality of fruit. Recent agricultural breeding programs have undergone extensive human development and hybridization to provide us with a consistent, seasonal supply of soft fruits of excellent size, flavor, and plant growth vigor.
