We are not planting these this year, but they are what we are (still) growing on our property! We have a variety of trees in our orchards that include apples, plums, pears, cherries, jujube, fig, mulberries, and hazelnuts. The berries are mostly in our kitchen garden area and consist of raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, and the strawberries mentioned earlier.
