The listing, white blackberry, VERY rare has ended.
My friend and I have hiked the Appalachians for over thirty years gathering wild herbs and berries. Today we came upon something we've never seen. We only foraged a small amount to research it. This is a very rare find and we are so excited about it. The berries were ripe, growing in amongst groups of russian blackberries. We were in an extremely remote area. They are a little more tart than the blackberries we were picking, and delicious. I have ten berries and since they are so rare, we thought it best to try to grow them. I am straining the berries tonite for the seed, will dry them and will send half of what we get to the winning bidder. We are gatherers, not gardeners, so we are hoping someone with knowledge and skill will hopefully produce some results, and let us know how it goes? Since they are such a rare berry, we hope to hike again in hopes the coyotes havent eaten what was remaining. One of the professors at UT was very excited about our find after my friend contacted them for identifying it. Boy would i like to try to make some jelly out of these, lol, however, our first desire is to try to grow them. Whoever wins this auction will be a very lucky person. I can find no one on searches that sell this berry. I think it's that rare.
